Q

CAAP

liferafts if >30mins at cruise speed or >100nm

38
Q

Uncontrolled airspace is called….

A

Class G - “see and avoid” principle, lookout and listening watch

39
Q

Controlled airspace is…

A

Class A, C, D or E

40
Q

Class A

A

High performance
IFR. VFR never permitted.
IF radar then, 18000 - 60000
IF no radar then, 24500 - 60000

41
Q

Class E

A

is beneath Class A
IFR and VFR are permitted. VFR flights do not need approval, they must operate at a VFR level i.e +500ft appropriate for direction, maintain VMC, transponder on alt 1200 and listen to appropriate freq.
Traffic information provided on request but no separation for VFR aircraft.
IF radar then, 8500 - 18000
IF no radar then, 18000 - 24500

42
Q

Class D CTRs - Controlled traffic regions

A

often in the vicinity of busy regional airports
from SFC - usually 4500 in steps
must establish two way communications before entering - constitutes clearance.
Traffic information provided on IFR and VFR but no positive separation.
No radar. Separation is called procedural separation and relies on pilots following instructions. VFR must maintain VMC.

43
Q

Class C

A

above class D and below class E/A to allow IFR aircraft to transition with the protection of controlled airspace.
IFR aircraft are separated from IFR and VFR aircraft.
VFR aircraft are separated from IFR but just get traffic information about other VFR .
SVFR are separated from other SVFR.
Radar is used for separation in all class C airspace, at major airports the CTR is class C all the way to the ground.

44
Q

Special VFR (SVFR)

A

in controlled airspace only. When conditions are marginal ATC can allow on request the following conditions:
clear of cloud
1600m vis

….considerably less than VMC usually.

45
Q

Approach points / diamonds are encouraged but not mandatory unless requested by ATC

A

.

46
Q

Class D clearance - what to say to ATC

A
callsign
type
position
level
receipt of ATIS code
intentions - transiting or inbound
47
Q

Class D clearance response from ATC

A
just your callsign
or overfly
or report at
or make visual approach
or join base / straight in etc
48
Q

“make visual approach”

A

Maintain last cleared track. Can climb or descend as necessary. Cannot alter track until within 5nm. Once within 5nm can turn to join the circuit as instructed.

49
Q

Surface movement control - what to say

A
call sign
location at aerodrome
intentions
dual or solo
receipt of ATIS code
request taxi
50
Q

take off clearance

A

once approved by ground you can taxi and enter any run up bays as required. Once at holding point specified, you contact tower and say ready at ____

51
Q

after landing

A

take first available exit unless instructed otherwise.
do not turn down another runway unless instructed.
may cross intersecting runways while you are still on the landing runway.

52
Q

Circuit radio calls

A

unless otherwise instructed by ATC. make a downwind call including runway and intentions i.e. full stops

53
Q

If in the vicinity of Class D

A

within 5nm of the boundary, monitor tower and ATIS

54
Q

Start up clearance

A

Some aerodromes require this, if so it will say in the ERSA

55
Q

Readback requirements

A

any assigned level
any tracking points
any item prefixed by amended or recleared
any heading including direction of the turn
any requirement or restriction
any transponder mode or code setting assigned
any clearance limit imposed or cancelled

56
Q

reports class G

when communicating with a particular ground station, rare for VFR but IFR aircraft do it frequently and VFR can listen and glean information.

57
Q

broadcasts class G

A

When a pilot wishes to communicate with all aircraft in the region, i.e. “all stations”

58
