500’ below
1000’ above
2000 ft horizontal
Class B and G are clear of clouds
Entry requirement for C, D, and and towered E airports
Prior two way communications
Class A and B entry requirements
ATC CLEARANCE
Federal airways include airspace within ____ TO EACH SIDE OF CENTERLINE
4 Nautical miles
To each side of centerline
An intersecition(🔼) with
——|🔼 |—-
Means there will/ will not be a required altitude change?
Will require altitude change
An intersecition(🔼) with
—— 🔼 ——
Means there will/ will not be a required altitude change?
Will not require altitude change
What is (TEC) tower en route control
ATC program that uses overlapping approach control radar services to provide ifr clearances. Using TEC, the pilot is touted by airport control towers
En route charts are revised every ___ days
56
MEA
Minimum enruoute altitude
Ensures navigation signal and obstacle clearance along airway
Does the MEA guarantee communications?
No
The obstacle clearance within the limits of the airway is typically ______ ft in non mountainous areas and ______ ft in designated mountainous areas
1000 ft non
2000 ft mountainous
MOCA
MINIMUM OBSTACLE/obstruction CLEARANCE ALTITUDE
Provides same obstacle clearance as the MEA but NAV signals are only ensured within 22nm of closest navaid
MRA
Minimum reception altitude
Lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined from an OFF COURSE NAVAID
(DME removes the need to reach the mra)
MRA is indicated by a diagonal flag with an R inside
MAA
Maximum autororized altitude
The highest altitude at which the airway can be flown with assurance of receiving adequate navigation signals.
MCA
Minimum crossing altitude
Charted when a higher MEA is reached
Pilot is required to climb before reaching the intersection and CROSS AT OR ABOVE the new MEA
indicated by a tilted flag with an X
🏴
When intersection with a sideways T
—|
You should expect ______
You may do so when?
And how fast?
Expect change MEA, MOCA and or MAA
You may change altitudes AT THE INTERSECTION
How fast? Ask dad
VOR
Very high frequency omnidirectional ranges
NDB
Non directional beacon
TACAN
Tactical air navigation
VHF/UHF NAVAIDS are depicted in____
LF/MF NAVAIDS are depicted in______
Very high and ultra high frequency are black
Low and medium frequency are brown
An intersection with a solid vs an open/hollow triangle
Open triangle is a mandatory ATC reporting point
Solid is compulsory (if you would like)
Airports indicated in blue or green have…
An approved low altitude instrument approach procedure published.
An airport or seaplane base indicated in brown …
Does not have a published instrument approach procedure
RNAV data is depicted in what color
Blue
Distances from VOR to VOR are charted with ….
A number(the distance) inside a box
what is a VOR changeover point
It is a symbol on the map that indicates the distance at which to change the VOR frequency
When do you switch VOR frequencies when on an airway between two VORs
Midway unless otherwise depicted by a changeover symbol
What does an ( X ) symbol mean when separating an airway
A course Change and or a mileage break down
What does a shadowed box with a name and frequency mean
It means there is a automated flight service station (AFSS)
What does ASOS stand for
Automated surface observing station
(depicted by a white A in a black circle)
What does AWOS stand for
Automated Weather Observing Station (depicted by a white A in a black circle)
What does HIWAS stand for
Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service
(Depicted by a white H in a black circle)
What does TWEB stand for
Transcribed Weather Broadcast
(Depicted by White T in a black circle)
MEL
Minimum equipment list
SOP
Standard operating procedures
SID
Standard instrument departure
STAR
Standard terminal arrival route
TPP
Terminal procedures publication
Includes approach procedures, stars , departure procedures and airport diagrams
What are the two types of DPs (departure procedures)
Obstacle departure procedures
And
SIDS
