Q

What are visual reporting points used for?

A

VRP’s are used when giving your position to the controllers

17
Q

What must you do before entering and while in an ATZ?

A

-Call on the published frequency
-State the need to enter the zone
-State your position and intentions
-While in the ATZ you must remain on frequency

18
Q

What is the maximum size of an ATZ?

A

2000ft above airfield and 2.5nm RADIUS from midpoint of longest runway

19
Q

What are the rules for a MATZ?

A

None as long as the ATZ is not penetrated

20
Q

What is the size of a MATZ?

A

5nm RADIUS circle that extends to 3000ft AGL
Stubs are either side and are 5nm long, 4nm wide and extend from 1000ft AGL to 3000ft AGL

21
Q

How are ATZ’s and MATZ’s shown?

A

dotted circles MATZ bigger than ATZ

22
Q

Is flight allowed in prohibited areas?

A

No, all flight is prohibited

23
Q

How are prohibited areas, restricted areas shown?

A

Maroon circle with hatching

24
Q

Can gliders penetrate restricted areas?

A

Some but not all
Must comply with restrictions

25
Q

Could a glider fly in R101/2.4

-Height AGL

31
Q

How are gas venting sites shown?

A

Sign saying GVS on map. Dangerous due to risk of extreme turbulence

32
Q

What is an AIAA and how is it shown?

A

Area of Intense Aerial activity. Shown by a blue line of diamonds

33
Q

What is an airprox and when should they be filed?

A

If you have been endangered by the proximity of another aircraft

34
Q

If you have infringed airspace what should you do?

A

Call on 121.5Mhz as soon as possible.
