That is set by the school, and is the most basic exam you will do.

The exam will be preety much about basic aeroplane knowledge and most likely local airport procedures.

B.A.K is an exam set by the school (same as pre solo and pre area solo) and is not a casa exam.

That site does not appear to have a sample quiz. If you have the Bob Tait B.A.K book there are questions in each chapter and they are the most likely ones you will have in your exam.

I only did my test a little while ago, most of my questions come from the "Aviation Theory Centre" Flight training manual and the Ra Aus "Operations manual issue 7 "

And mechanical Turbulence is not that which is caused by parked agricultural equipment. (You can see I've marked a few of these exams). Nev

Woops, ! I put in the wrong book, it should have been "Aviation Theory Centre" BAK book , there were a lot of questions from Chapter 5 Air law: rules and procedures as well as the Ra Aus "Operations manual issue 7 "

Robbo and djpacro. Your answers were confusing and wrong for this new RAAus pilot.

 

It appears that you both have poor knowledge of the RAAus system.......not a crime.......but why push dud advice?

 

Anyway, Cheers.

If you had stated that you were a raaus pilot I would not have posted the info I did, this is a general forum on student pilot and further learning.

I think you need to go back and read this entire thread before jumping down peoples throat.

As djpacro mentioned he never stated that he was an RAAaus pilot, also not long after I posted the link to the sample quizzes I read another thread where Parkway was talking about RAA AUS so I came back and said disregard that as those quizess are for GA and said I presume you are looking for RAA AUS once he confirmed it was for RAA I then posted a link to some RAA AUS quizzes.

 

DGL Fox then asked if there was a sample B.A.K exam so I was presuming he was talking about GA because he would have known from that website and also me talking about casa it would be for GA and not RAA

 

So before jumping down peoples throat I suggest you read the entire thread.

 

People need to state if they are GA or RAA when asking these kind of questions.

The plane flys the same regardless of which organisation you belong to. Simple explanations are more widely useful but you don't want to dumb it down too much. Nev

Good luck mate. Did my first solo I think it was 1 1/2 months ago. Trust me you will do fine, If your instructor thinks you are up for it, you are ! I was nervous when he first said it's time, but by the time you start the plane back up, do your calls, wait for clearance you are still a bit nervous but once you push that throttle forward all the nerves go your training kicks in. I was actually enjoying it , didn't want to come down :} It was like any other flight {until you look left and there is no one there !} I think I was more nervous doing all of the radio calls !!!!

Cheers

Some CFI may insist on this (& it might be a good idea) but its not an RAAus requirement

You don't need a radio at certain airfields and others you do see https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/g/files/net351/f/_assets/main/download/caaps/ops/166-1.pdf

 

If the aircraft is radio equiped you must use it ! So you will need to be able and qualified to be able to use it !
