NZ PPL Air Law Practice Exam
Air Law is the paper where knowing where to look matters as much as knowing the rule. The real exam lets you bring AIP New Zealand Volume 4, so the questions are applied and scenario based rather than bare recall. Practise with exam-style questions written to the CAA syllabus, and see where you stand before you book.
From the course
The inverted wedding cake
Fly out from the aerodrome and change altitude to see when you are inside controlled airspace and when you are under it in Class G. It is one of the simulations in the airspace module of the Air Law course.

Most marks in Air Law are lost to near-miss options, where two answers look right and the difference between them is the rule being tested. Learn each rule with the reason behind it, and practise finding things fast in an untabbed Volume 4, because that is an exam skill in its own right.
