Correct!

Incorrect!

Q148 According to CAR Part 91 Subpart E, a pilot of a non-turbine aircraft must ensure there is adequate fuel to complete the flight (with or without an alternate) and then:

fly for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 60 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 45 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1500 ft above the intended / alternate aerodrome

Correct!

Incorrect!
