Air Regulations is a citation paper — you either know which rule says it or you do not. This is 993 questions across 23 chapters, worked through rule by rule, from the Aircraft Act to the AIP.
The paper
Air Regulations is a 50-question paper where each question is worth 2 marks, so a single careless answer costs twice what it does in Navigation. There is no negative marking, which means an unattempted question is strictly worse than a considered guess.
What's inside
Every question is auto-graded, tagged with the chapter it came from and marked Theory or Numerical. Wrong answers are filed in your mistakes bank automatically, per subject.
The Chicago Convention and the ICAO structure, the Aircraft Act 1934 and Aircraft Rules 1937, DGCA Civil Aviation Requirements, nationality and registration marks, airworthiness of aircraft, and the personnel licensing chain — licences, ratings, currency and medical requirements.
Right of way, VFR and IFR rules, separation, flight levels and semi-circular rules, area, approach and aerodrome control, ATS surveillance systems, and the PANS procedures that sit behind the day-to-day instructions you will actually be given.
Aeronautical communication procedures and failure actions, the aeronautical information services chain — AIP, NOTAM, AIC and AIRAC — and the visual aids for navigation: aerodrome markings, lighting, signs and signals.
Operational procedures and flight duty time limitations, special operational procedures and hazards, human performance and limitations, security and facilitation, search and rescue, and accident and incident reporting under Annex 13.
Cross-topic revision sets and full-length practice papers drawn from the whole subject — the sittings that check whether the individual chapters have actually joined up.
Before you start
Regulations questions almost always resolve to a source: an Annex number, a CAR section, a rule of the Aircraft Rules, or a paragraph of the AIP. The paper is testing whether you can place the requirement, not whether it sounds sensible.
That is why guessing works so badly here. Three of the four options usually sound entirely reasonable.
Chapters follow the structure of the material rather than the order a book happens to print it — air law and licensing together, rules of the air with ATS, communication with AIS, operations with human factors.
Revising one chapter therefore means revising one document family, which is how the citations actually stick.
The classic losses are numeric: validity periods, currency requirements, reporting deadlines, altimeter setting boundaries, and the ICAO Annex ordering. They are all learnable in an afternoon and all cost 2 marks each on this paper.
Because every wrong answer is filed in the mistakes bank by chapter, that afternoon can be spent on exactly the ones you keep missing.
Regulations rewards repetition more than any other DGCA paper, and it decays faster than any other. Short daily sets across all 23 chapters hold far better than one long sitting a week before the exam.
Use practice mode to read the answer with the question, then test mode once a chapter stops surprising you — only test and exam answers move your readiness estimate.
Inside a question
Every MCQ is graded the moment you answer it, and the explanation shows the reasoning rather than just the correct letter.
Pick an option and get instant right or wrong with the correct answer revealed — except in exam mode, which reveals nothing until you submit.
Numericals carry the governing equation on its own line, so you can revise by formula before you revise by question.
Worked step by step from the given data to the answer, with nothing skipped.
Every question carries its chapter and whether it is theory or a numerical, so a wrong answer tells you what to revise.
