010019 · ICAO Annexes and Conventions
On lighter-than-air aircraft, other than unmanned free balloons, the height of the marks must be at least:
- A60 centimetres
- B50 centimetres
- C1 metre
- DAt least 40 centimetres
Why that is the answer
Annex 7 sets a distinct minimum mark height for lighter-than-air aircraft (such as airships and manned balloons), separate from the heavier-than-air aircraft standard. For these aircraft, excluding unmanned free balloons (which have their own separate marking provisions), the minimum required height of the marks is 50 centimetres, matching the same figure used for under-wing marks on heavier-than-air aircraft. 60 cm and 1 metre are not the prescribed values for this category. The verified correct answer is B.
- Identify the topic: minimum mark height for lighter-than-air aircraft (excluding unmanned free balloons).
- Recall Annex 7 sets this figure separately from the heavier-than-air fuselage/tail requirement.
- Recall the prescribed minimum is 50 centimetres for this aircraft category.
- Eliminate A (60 cm, incorrect figure) and C (1 metre, incorrect figure).
- Conclude the correct answer is B.
010659 · ICAO Annexes and Conventions
An Implementing Rule (IR) from EASA adopted by the Commission is...
- ASoft law.
- BHard law.
- CAMC.
- DCertification Specification.
Why that is the answer
An EASA Implementing Rule adopted by the European Commission is legally binding hard law, unlike AMC or Certification Specifications.
- The EASA regulatory system distinguishes between legally binding rules and non-binding guidance material that supports compliance with those rules.
- An Implementing Rule (IR), once adopted by the European Commission through the EU legislative process, becomes a binding legal instrument directly applicable across Member States — this is what is meant by "hard law".
- Eliminate A: soft law describes non-binding material such as Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) and Guidance Material (GM), which offer one way (but not the only way) to comply with a hard-law requirement.
- Eliminate C: AMC is precisely the soft-law counterpart to an IR, providing accepted methods of demonstrating compliance rather than an obligatory rule itself.
- Eliminate D: a Certification Specification (CS) sets detailed technical standards used mainly for type certification and is also non-binding guidance material, not an adopted Implementing Rule.
- Because an adopted IR carries the force of EU law, option B is correct.

Frequently asked
How many ICAO Annexes and Conventions questions are there for the DGCA CPL Air Regulations paper?
Avielevate's bank carries 125 published ICAO Annexes and Conventions questions for Air Regulations, mapped across 2 learning objectives. Every one has its answer key, and explanations are being written across the whole bank.
How much of the Air Regulations paper is ICAO Annexes and Conventions?
The DGCA does not publish a per-chapter breakdown of its papers, so nobody can honestly tell you — and we will not guess. What we can tell you is what students who have just sat a paper reported meeting, which is measured rather than rumoured: that is the exam recall report inside the app.
What is the best way to revise ICAO Annexes and Conventions?
Sit a short timed set on this chapter alone, tag how sure you were of each answer, then drill the two that actually leak marks: the ones you got right while guessing, and the ones you got wrong while confident. Avielevate does that tagging for you and puts anything you got wrong back in front of you on a spaced schedule.
