Q

What does the flight information service do?

A

It is an information service that is used at aerodromes without ATC. It can give instructions to aircraft on the ground but is an information only service in the air.

17
Q

What is the air/ground communication service? (AGCS)

A

It is a RADIO service for aerodromes without ATC or FIS.

18
Q

What is the safetycom frequency?

A

135.475

And can only be used 2000ft above aerodrome level

19
Q

What is the lower airspace radar service? (LARS)

A

They are a service used in unregulated airspace whereby ATSUs may provide traffuc or deconfliction service on request within 30nm of each unit

20
Q

What services are available outside of controlled airspace?

A

Basic service
Traffic service
Deconfliction service
Procedural service

21
Q

What service should be requested from a unit with the callsign “information”?

A

Basic

This is a FISO unit

22
Q

If you make an agreement with an ATSU, what does this mean?

A

You must follow instructions given even when in uncontrolled airspace, unless it is undafe to do so

23
Q

What is the “basic service”?

A

They give general information to IFR and VFR but dont have to give traffic information. They may identify the aircraft but do not have to tell the pilot. The pilot remains responsible for collision avoidance.

24
Q

What is the traffic service?

A

A radar based ATS tower where they provide basic service and radar traffic info to IFR and VFR. Collision avoidance is still the pilots responsibility

25
Q

What is the deconfliction service?

A

Basic and radar service but the controller will provide specific traffic info and will issue headings and levels aimed at achieving planned deconfliction minima. Given to IFR flights

26
Q

What is the deconfliction minima?

A

5nm laterally OR 3000ft vertically

If the aircraft are using the same controller this may be reduced to 3nm laterally and 1000ft vertically

27
Q

What is the procedural service?

A

Basic service along with vertical, lateral, longitudinal and time instructions ained at achieving deconfliction minima against other flights using procedural service. Only for IFR

28
Q

What is the pre flight briefing service?

A

Pre flight information for VFr flights including NOTAMs, navigation warning bulletins and aerodrome bulletins

29
Q

When must you file a flight plan?

A

All IFR in controlled airspace
VFR in class C and D airspace
All flights crossing a UK international FIR boundary
Flights leaving the ATZ at night
When you want to recieve an air traffic advisory service
Any flight weighing 5700kg+ where the destination is 40km from the aerodrome

30
Q

When do flight plans need to be filed?

A

30 mins before take off (60 in some cases) or if this is not possible then while in the air

31
Q

How long of a delay requires a new flight plan?

A

If your flight is delayed by 60mins, a new flight plan shouod be submitted. If your flight is entering a controlled airspace then this is reduced to 30 mins

32
Q

How much notice should you give for your flight plan for a flight of over 500nm?

A

4 hours notice

2 hours for any shorter than that

33
Q

What is the ATIS?

A

Automatic terminal information service

34
Q

Can aircraft depart the UK from or to places outside the EU?

A

Unless given prior permission, the aircraft MUST depart from a designated customs and excise airport

35
Q

If you arrive or leave Britain by an aircraft fron a non designated airfield must…
