Q

What are IFR reserve fuel requirements where an alternate aerodrome is specified in the flight plan?

A

To fly to and execute an approach and missed approach at the destination and to fly to and land at the alternate and then to fly for a periode of:

  • Props - 45 min
  • Turbo-jet - 30 min
24
Q

What are IFR reserve fuel requirements where an alternate aerodrome is NOT specified in the flight plan?

A

Fuel enough to fly to and execute and approach and missed approach at the destination and then fly for a periode of

*Props - 45 min
Turbo-Jet - 30 min

25
Q

What is reserve and contigency fuel, and how are they different?

A

Reserve: extra fuel carried for unforseeable stuff that cannot be planned for.

Contingency: extra fuel for stuff you can expect, like weather, traffic, extra taxiing, unfamiliar with area, etc

26
Q

How do we determine the height of this E CZ based only on map info?

A

If I measured with a ruler it would be 5NM and because I dont see any info saying that this ISN’T a standard height, I can assume it is 3000 feet AAE. Add that to the 999 elevation of the aerodrome and the top of the class E CZ is at 3999 ASL.

27
Q

What are the numbers circled in this picture?

A

This class D CZ goes up to 5000ASL.

The number in brackets is how high the control zone goes AAE. Regina’s elevation is 1895.

1895 + 3100 = 4995 feet ASL

28
Q

Is this transition area 700 AGL or ASL?

A

Transition zones are in place mostly to control IFR aircraft in and out of control zones. Transition Zones are based at 700AGL, unless otherwise specified, and extends up to the base of whatever airspace is over it.

29
Q

What height does this control zone go up to?

A

SFC to 2999’ ASL

Terminal Control Area starts at 3000AsL to 12, 500ASL

30
Q

Where is the class E transition zone on this map?

A

Between 700AGL (common TZ base) to 1999’ ASL.

31
Q

What is a Terminal Control Area?

A
  • Similar to control area extension except a TCA may extend up into high level airspace.
  • IFR traffic is normally controlled in this space by a terminal control unit (TCU)
  • ACC will take over the TCA when the TCU is not operating
  • Will only be found at very busy airports
32
Q

What airspace classifications require a transponder?

A

A, B, and C.

Class D and E might require one.

33
Q

If you lose your transponder in transponder airspace what should you do?

A

Technically, leave the airspace and go land somewhere else where you dont need a transponder.

You can ask the controller if you can keep going, depending on traffic and workload they may or may not let you.

If you need to enter TA and know already that your transponder isnt working, you could call ahead of time to see if you can get permission.

34
Q

Transition Areas are based at ______.
Control Area Extensions are based at _____.

A

700AGL unless otherwise specified
2200AGL unless otherwise specified

35
Q

What altitude does Class G airspace extend up to Class A in the SDA?

A

Up to 18000ASL. Class A starts at 18000ASL

36
Q

Are heights in a METAR or TAF ASL or AGL?

A

AGL

37
Q

What are the activity codes for CYA airspace? Where do you find info on a specific CYA or CYR airspace?

A

A - Acrobatic
F - Flight testing
H - Hang gliding
M - Military
P - Parachuting
S - Soaring
T - Training

Find info in the Designated Airspace Handbook (DAH)

38
Q

If flying through an advisory airspace what frequency should you broadcast on and when should you do it?

A

126.7 unless a specific frequency is noted in the DAH. You should broadcast intentions when entering and exiting the airspace, at minimum.

  • Military ops in claff F airspace may be UHF only, which means you probably wont hear their broadcasts on your civilian radio. And they may not hear you.
39
Q

For what reasons would you want to call a FISE?

A

Weather update for destination, amend flight plan, check to see if any NOTAMs have become active during your flight
