40
Canadian domestic airspace
All airspace over Canadian land mass, Canadian Arctic and archipelago and certain areas over high seas
41
Northern domestic airspace
Close to magnetic north pole Compass unreliable, therefore true tracks are used
42
Southern domestic airspace
Most of settled Canada is here Magnetic tracks are used
43
Altimeter setting region
Before to takeoff, landing, and during flight, pilot will set altimeter to nearest aerodrome If no altimeter setting, set to elevation Includes all airspace in SDA below 18,000
44
Standard pressure region
Altimeter set to 29.92 Includes all NDA Includes SDA above 18,000
45
High level airspace
Above 18 000 Usually controlled
46
Low level airspace
Below 18 000 May or may not be controlled
47
Built up areas
Aircraft must stay at least 1000 over highest obstacle within 2000 radius
48
Controlled airspace
Where air traffic control service is provided
49
Class A
Controlled Only IFR
50
Class B
Controlled for VFR and IFR All airspace 12 500 to 18 000
51
Class C
Controlled for VFR and IFR VFR must have clearance to enter, separation may be provided
52
Class D
Controlled for IFR and VFR VFR must communicate with tower
53
Class E
Controlled for IFR Uncontrolled for VFR
54
Class F: advisory
Can enter with caution, not encouraged
55
Class F: restricted
Aircraft must not enter without permission
56

59
Went two aircraft at different altitudes converge,
Higher aircraft shall give way to lower aircraft
60
Define day
Centre of sun is less than 6 below horizon Starts half hour before sunrise and ends half hour after sunset
61
Define night
Centre of sun more than 6 below horizon Half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise
62
Night equipment (7)
Airspeed indicator Sensitive pressure altimeter Magnetic compass Turn and bank indicator Gyro magnetic compass or heading indicator Means to illuminate flight instruments Each crew member must have access to reliable timepiece and flashlight
63
Night lighting
Left wing: red Right wing: green Anti collision: red or white Tail: white light
64
Clearance vs instruction
Can do vs have to do
65
VFR flight plans: when necessary?
If 25 mm from departure
66
VFR flight itinerary
May be used instead of flight plan
67
VFR cruising altitudes begin at
3000 AGL
68
Cruising altitude west (VFR)
Even thousands plus 500
69
Cruising altitude west (IFR)
Even thousands
70

72
Cruising speed limit: controlled below 10 000
250 kts
73
Cruising speed limit: within 10 nm of airport and below 300 ASL
200 kts
74
Oxygen requirements: below 10 000
Not required
75
Oxygen requirements: 10 000 to 13 000
Required if more than 30 mins
76
Oxygen requirements: above 13000
Required
77
Dangerous condition where pilot does not get enough oxygen and creates a sense of euphoria
Hypoxia
78
Wake turbulence
Large, rotating, unstable air left behind an aircraft
79
Wake turbulence gets worse with
Large/ slow aircraft, (high angle of attack), take off,landing
80
Aircraft must wait--- minutes before taking off and landing behind a large aircraft
Wake turbulence last up to five minutes, must wait at least two minutes
