Airspaces and minimas Flashcards
IFR and VFR flights are permitted and receive flight information service if requested
G
IFR flights only; all flights are provided with air traffic control service and are separated from each other
A
IFR and VFR flights are permitted, all flights are provided with air traffic control service and IFR flights are separated from IFR and VFR flights. VFR are separated from IFR and receive traffic information in respect of other VFR flights.
C
IFR and VFR are permitted, IFR are provided with air traffic control service and are separated from other IFR. All flights receive traffic information as far as is practical. Shall not be used for control zones
E
IFR and VFR are permitted and all flights are provided with air traffic control service. IFR are separated from other IFR and receive traffic information in respect of VFR flights, VFR receive traffic information in respect of all other flights
D
IFR and VFR are permitted, all flights are provided with air traffic control service and are separated from each other
B
IFR and VFR are permitted, all IFR flights receive an air traffic advisory service and all flights receive flight information service if requested
F
ATC shall be provided to:
• All IFR flights in A, B, C, D and E
• All VFR flights B, C and D
• All special VFR flights
• All aerodrome traffic at controlled aerodromes
VMC minima - airspace class A-G
When above 3000ft or 1000ft above terrain, whichever is higher:
• —-> 1500m horizontally and 1000ft vertically from cloud
• Flight visibility 5km below FL100
and 8km above FL100
VMC minima - airspace class F and G
When below 3000ft or 1000ft above terrain, whichever is higher:
• Clear of cloud and surface in sight
• Flight visibility 5km
IMC - Instrument Meteorological Conditions
IMC occurs when meteorological criteria is below the minima specified for Visual Meterological Conditions (VMC)
Special VFR minima conditions
Pilot:
• Clear of cloud and with surface in sight, flight visibility is not less than 1500m (800m for helicopters)
• Fly at a speed of 140kts IAS or less to give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic and any obstacles i time to avoid a collision
ATC should not give a special VFR clearance unless:
• If ground visibility is less than 1500m (less than 800m for helicopters)
• If ceiling is less than 600ft
Special VFR
A VFR flight cleared by air traffic control to operate within a control zone in meteorological conditions below VMC.
Only during the day, unless otherwise permitted by the competent authority
Minimum heights VFR
1000ft above with a radius of 600m from congested areas, cities, towns or settlements
500ft above with a radius of 150m elsewhere
Minimum heights IFR
2000ft above with a radius of 8km over high terrain or in mountainous areas
1000ft above with a radius of 8km elsewhere
