AIR LAW & OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES TEST

PRACTICE TEST
Instructions: Duration: 1 hour
 The test consists of two parts:
o PART A contains 15 multiple-choice questions. Each question has five
possible answers, of which, one and only one is completely correct. Each
question carries one mark.

question individually.
 Total marks for the test is FIFTY.
