developed to allow the military to conduct low-altitude, high-speed training. The routes above 1,500 feet AGL are developed to be flown primarily under IFR,
and the routes 1,500 feet and less are for VFR

  • from the surface to 10,000 feet in some cases even higher.
  • around the busiest airports in terms of aircraft traffic such as Chicago or LA
  • is individually designed to meet the needs of the particular airport and consists of a surface area and two more layers.
  • Most of it resembles an upside-down wedding cake.
  • Pilots must contact air traffic control to receive an air traffic control clearance to enter this airspace.

  • from the surface to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation.
  • will only be found at airports that have an operational control tower, are serviced by a radar approach control, and have a certain number of IFR operations.
  • individually tailored to meet the needs of the airport, consisting of a surface area with a 5 nautical mile (NM) radius, an outer circle with a 10 NM radius that extends from 1,200 feet to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation, and an outer area.
A

Class C Airspace

12
Q
  • extends upward from either the surface or a designated altitude of the overlying or adjacent controlled airspace.
  • If an aircraft is flying on a Federal airway below 18,000 feet.
  • used by aircraft transiting to and from the terminal or en route environment normally beginning at 14,500 feet to 18,000 feet.
A

Class E Airspace

12
Q
A
12
Q

is uncontrolled airspace. IFR aircraft will not operate in this airspace and VFR aircraft can operate in this airspace

A

Class G Airspace

12
Q
  • only surrounds airports that have an operational control tower.
  • also tailored to meet the needs of the airport.
  • Pilots are required to establish and maintain two-way radio communications with the ATC facility providing air traffic control services prior to entering the airspace.
A

Class D Airspace

12
Q

MOA means?

A

Military Operations Areas

13
Q

it is “airspace established outside Class A airspace to separate or segregate certain nonhazardous military activities from IFR Traffic and to identify for VFR traffic where these activities are conducted.”

A

Military Operations Areas

14
Q

These are designed for routine training or testing maneuvers. it is a type of special use airspace (SUA), other than restricted airspace or prohibited airspace, where military operations are of a nature that justifies limitations on aircraft not participating in those operations.

A

Military Operations Areas

15
Q

may involve high general aviation traffic, unusual air operations or frequent student training.

A

Alert Area

Q
A
15
Q

The area will be marked with a blue border with a word or two of explanation.

A

Alert Area

15
Q

activities are conducted under conditions so controlled as to eliminate hazards to non-participating aircraft and to ensure the safety of persons and property on the ground.

A

Controlled Firing Areas

16
Q

as compared to other special use airspace, is that activities are suspended immediately when spotter aircraft or ground lookout indicates an aircraft might be approaching the area.

A

Controlled Firing Areas

17
Q

what are the categories and types of airspace are dictated by a few factors such as:

A
  1. The complexity or density of aircraft
    movements
  2. The nature of the operations conducted within
    that airspace
  3. The level of safety required
  4. The national and public interest
18
Q

is put into place where activities must be confined due to their nature. limitations may be placed on those aircraft who are not participating in the special activities. it includes prohibited, restricted, and warning areas.

A
19
Q

SUA includes?

A

Prohibited Areas
Restricted Areas
Warning Areas

20
Q

is an area enclosed in a unique wide blue border with a sharp outer edge. No one flies there, neither regular aircraft nor ultralights, without specific permission. They are not to be ignored under any circumstances.

A

Prohibited Area

20
Q

Unseen hazards such as artillery practice, missile firing and other activities may take place.

A

Restricted Area

21
Q

Is a service provided by ground based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in the air.

A

Air Traffic Control (ATC)

21
Q

What are the Primary purpose of ATC

A
  • to separate aircraft to prevent collisions
  • to organize and expedite the flow of traffic
  • to provide information and other support for pilots when able
22
Q

the people who operate the air traffic control systems to expedite and maintain a safe and orderly flow of air traffic anD help prevent mid-air collisions

A

Air Traffic Controllers

23
Q

The primary method of controlling the immediate airport environment is visual observation from the airport traffic control tower (ATCT).

A

Airport Control

24
Q

referred to as separation, which is a term used to prevent aircraft from coming too close to each other by use of lateral, vertical and longitudinal separation minima

A

Preventing collisions

25
Q

can provide additional services such as providing information to pilots, weather and navigation information and NOTAMs

A

ATC

26
Q

a tall, windowed structure located on the airport grounds. Aerodrome or Tower controllers are responsible for the separation and efficient movement of aircraft and vehicles operating on the taxiways and runways of the airport itself, and aircraft in the air near the airport, generally 5 to 10 nautical miles (3.7 to 9.2 km) depending on the airport procedures.

A
27
Q

Radar displays are also available to controllers at some airports
Controllers may use a radar system called —- for airborne traffic approaching and departing.

A

Secondary Surveillance Radar

27
Q

people who expedite and maintain a safe and orderly flow of air traffic in the global air traffic control system. one that requires highly specialized skills.

A

Air Traffic Controllers

28
Q

Air traffic controllers are also called as?

A

They are also called air traffic control officers (ATCOs), air traffic control specialists, or simply controllers.

29
Q
  • In most nations they are known as “area” or “en route” controllers.
  • work at Air Route Traffic Control Centers or ARTCCs.
A

AREA OR EN-ROUTE CONTROLLERS

30
Q

are responsible for the safety of aircraft at higher altitudes, in
the en route phase of their flight.

A

AREA OR EN-ROUTE CONTROLLERS

31
Q

can be done either with or without the use of radar

A

AREA OR EN-ROUTE CONTROLLERS

31
Q

control aircraft within the immediate vicinity of the airport and use visual observation from the airport tower.

A

Aerodrome or Tower Controllers

32
Q

The tower positions are typically split into many different positions such as Flight Data/Clearance Delivery, Ground Control, and Local Control (known as Tower by the pilots); at busier facilities, a limited radar approach control position may be needed.

A

Aerodrome or Tower Controllers

32
Q
  • sometimes known as Ground Movement Control abbreviated to GMC or Surface Movement Control abbreviated to SMC
  • is responsible for the airport “movement” areas, as well as areas not released to the airlines or other users.
  • This generally includes all taxiways, inactive runways, holding areas, and some transitional aprons or intersections where aircraft arrive, having vacated the runway or departure gate.
A

Ground Control

33
Q

known to pilots as “Tower” or “Tower Control” is responsible for the active runway surfaces. it clears aircraft for takeoff or landing, ensuring that prescribed runway separation will exist at all times.
