CPL Aerodynamics - Common Unit 1.3.1
This content is from MOS unit 1.3.3 and is common to both aeroplane and helicopter. All aeroplane specific questions have been removed.
Optional Textbook: Bob Tait CPL Aerodynamics (Actual Book Version). Aerodynamics does not change rapidly like other areas of study, so a used textbook will be fine.

In law exams or law parts of exams it is extremely unlikely that you will be given any law references.
We sometimes include them in the questions to help candidates towards the beginning of their study find things.
A huge part of law is you knowing how to find things quickly. Read and check the legislation and DO NOT rely on memory for answers.
PPE’s Ultimate Law Guide PDF, will become the ultimate study buddy, for locating the laws and ticking off when you know them.

AC 91-15v1.1 Guidelines for aircraft fuel requirements
To Categorise flight operations you have to dig through the CASR dictionary / definitions and the following pages. To my knowledge there is no one location that clearly sums them all up in the detail you are after for each.
https://www.casa.gov.au/search-centre/rules/part-91-casr-general-operating-and-flight-rules
Part 91 applies to all aviation operations except drones.
There are additional rules for pilots operating under an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) or other certificate, or those conducting defined activities such as aerial work, aerial application and some recreational aviation activities. These rules are in other CASR Parts and may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
—————————————-
https://www.casa.gov.au/search-centre/rules/part-121-casr-australian-air-transport-operations-larger-aeroplanes
Part 121 generally applies to air transport operations in aeroplanes with a seating capacity of more than 9 seats, or a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of more than 8,618 kg.
Subpart 121.Z applies to air transport operations in single-engine aeroplanes with a seating capacity of more than 9 seats and a MTOW of 8,618 kg or less.
All operators and pilots also need to comply with Part 91 – General operating and flight rules, noting that Part 121 may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
—————————————-
Part 135 of CASR applies to air transport operations in aeroplanes with a maximum seating capacity of nine and a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 8,618 kg or less.
Subpart 121.Z applies if you are operating single-engine aeroplanes with a seating capacity of more than 9 seats. However, you must comply with the majority of Part 135.
Some operators may be able to operate an aeroplane with up to 13 seats if they are already conducting these operations and meet the requirements.
All operators and pilots also need to comply with Part 91 of CASR General operating and flight rules, noting that Part 135 may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
—————————————-
Part 133 applies to air transport operations in helicopters, gyroplanes or powered lift aircraft.
All operators and pilots also need to comply with Part 91 of CASR General operating and flight rules, noting that Part 133 may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
—————————————-
https://www.casa.gov.au/search-centre/rules/part-138-casr-aerial-work-operations
All operators and pilots also need to comply with Part 91 of CASR General operating and flight rules, noting that Part 138 may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
Aeroplane operators may choose whether to conduct dispensing operations under Part 138 or Part 137 of CASR Aerial application operations. Requirements for the dropping or releasing of any substance overlap for Part 138 and Part 137. Note: Part 137 only applies to aeroplanes.

Calculation of ETP and Asymmetric ETP are for CPL upwards only.
Note only very basic ETP would be in CNAV. Any hard ETP or PNR will be in CFPA exams only. At one stage CASA slipped a few into CNAV, but we believe that error has been rectified.
