13 Lp Airspace Flashcards
Airspace of defined dimensions within which air traffic control service is provided to IFR flight and VFR flights in accordance with the airspace classification
Controlled airspace
What airspace is controlled airspace
A B C D E
And controlled airspace all aircraft operations are subject to:
Certain pilot qualifications
operating rules
equipment requirements
Where is class a airspace
From 18,000 feet mean see you level up to and including flight level 600
Class A
All operations must be conducted under ____and are subject to _______
Ifr
ATC clearance and instructions
Does Atc provide separation services in class a airspace
Yes
Therefore to a radio communication must be established and maintained
What is required in class a airspace
Two way radio communication, transponder with functioning mode C, only IFR
What is above class a airspace
Class E Airspace
Who controls class airspace?
Centers
Where is class bravo airspace
From the surface to 10,000 feet MSL, surrounding the nations busiest airports
Class B
Design to contained all published ________ procedures wants an aircraft Enters the airspace
Instrument approach procedures
To operate in class bravo airspace you must have
Air traffic control clearance
two way radio communication,
mode C transponder,
IFR aircraft require operable VOR or TACAN navigation equipment
What aircraft receive separation services while in class bravo airspace
All VFR and IFR
Class B
Student pilots may not operate an aircraft on a solo flight unless
Student pilot has received instructions on that specific class bravo airspace,
student pilot logbook has been endorsed within the preceding 90 days verifying instruction
Where is class C airspace
From the surface to 4000 feet above airport elevation
What do airports in class C airspace have
Operational control tower,
radar approach control,
certain number of IFR operations
Configuration of class C airspace usually consists of a service area within _____ nMile radius
5 NM
Configuration of class C airspace contains a circle with a _____ nautical mile radius that extends no lower than
10nm
1,200 feet up to 4000 feet above the airport elevation
Configuration of class C airspace contains an outer area that is not ____
Charted
To operate in class C airspace requires the following
Two way radio communications, functioning mode see transponder
Class C Airspace,
What separation services are provided
VFR aircraft are separated only from IFR aircraft, IFR aircraft are separated from all other aircraft
Which class of airspace does not require Atc clearance
C
The Airspace that generally extends from the service to 10,000 feet MSL and surrounds a busy airport is designated as class _____ airspace
Bravo
Where is Class D airspace
From the surface to 2500 feet above airport elevation surrounding those airports that have an operational control tower
What is the configuration of class D airspace
Individually tailored, normally design to contain published instrument approaches
Vector aircraft in class ___airspace only upon the pilots request and as an additional service
G
What is the hierarchy of airspace classes in the event of an overlap
A >B>C>D>E>G
TRSA
Terminal radar service area
TFRs
Temporary flight restriction’s
Provides greater vectoring, sequencing and separation,
- separates all IFR aircraft,
- separates participating VFR aircraft,
- pilot participation is urged but not mandatory.
