Airspace (Class G)

A
  • All remaining Airspace
  • Can be surface up to 17,999’ ASL
21
Q

Low Level Air Routes

  • Set altimeter to field elevation or current setting for takeoff
  • Set to 29.92 for cruise
  • Set to destination altimeter before beginning descent
26
Q

Altimeter Setting Region

A
  • Set altimeter to field elevation or current setting for takeoff
  • Set to nearest station along route for cruise
  • Set to destination altimeter before beginning descent
27
Q

Transition Between Regions

A
  • Set to 29.92 AFTER entering standard pressure region
  • Set to current altimeter setting BEFORE entering Altimeter Setting Region
  • Always change altimeter setting in Standard Pressure Region
28
Q

Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ)

A
  • Must file a DVFR flight plan or itinerary to enter
  • Limits on entry are +/- 20 NM and +/- 5 minutes
29
Q

Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT)

A
  • Invoked during air defence emergencies
  • ATC assumes control of all CDA
  • ## Aircraft must comply with all instructions from ATC
30
Q

In The Event of Interception

A
  • Follow radio and visual instructions given by intercepting aircraft
  • Contact Air traffic services if possible
  • Attempt to establish radio contact with intercepting aircraft by making call on 121.5 and 243.0 is practical
  • Set transponder to 7700 if equipped with one
31
