19
Q
Airport Operations
A
- Traffic pattern is left hand unless specified otherwise

- Circuit height is usually 1000’ AGL
- Aerodrome Traffic Frequency (ATF) established for active uncontrolled aerodromes (calls made to traffic)
- UNICOM could be 122.8, 123.0, 123.2
- Join circuit from upwind side
20
Q
Mandatory Frequency (MF)
A
- Established at uncontrolled airports where there is a safety benefit (calls made to radio)
- All aircraft must have a radio
- FSS monitors frequency, can be on field or elsewhere
- Can join circuit in many more locations than ATF
21
Q
MF Callouts
A
- State intentions when entering maneuvering area
- State departure intentions before moving onto active runway
- Report departing the circuit
- Report at least 5 minutes before entering area
- Report when joining circuit
- Report when on downwind
- Report when on final
- Report when clear of runway area
22
Q

- Certificate of Registration
- POH
- Weight and Balance Report
- Journey Log
- Proof of Insurance
- Crew Licences
23
Q
Journey Log

- Contains information for every flight
24
Q
Aviation Occurence
A
- Any accident or incident associated with operation of aircraft
- Any situation or condition left unattended that could lead to and accident or incident
25
Reportable Aviation Accident
- Results directly from the operation of the aircraft
- Serious injury or death
- Serious structural damage to aircraft
- Aircraft is missing or inaccessible
26
Reportable Aviation Incident
- Results directly from operation from aircraft, must be have TOW greater than 5700 Kg
- Anything that doesn't qualify as an accident
27

- Only to save people, or prevent further damage
- Must record conditions
- Everything should be preserved as best as possible
29
How to Read a NOTAM
- A is the location
- B is the start time (year, month, day, time)
- C is the end time (year, month, day, time)
- D is more times
- E is information
- "Z" implies a FIR (CZYZ)
30
Runway Condition codes
- Number from 0-6
- the better the conditions the higher the number
- Can be downgraded based on vehicle deceleration, pilot reports, etc
- Can only be upgraded if it's a 0 or 1
- Reported in thirds
- Dry runway surface condition not reported for the most part
31
RSC NOTAM Validity Periods
- Maximum validity period for aircraft movement surface condition report (AMSRC) is 8 hours
