21
Q

When should you contact ATC to obtain a clearance for entering controlled airspace

A

10nm from airspace boundary

22
Q

Items in a clearance request

A
  • Callsign
  • Position
  • Level
  • Intended route
  • Destination
  • Clearance request
23
Q

What should you familiarise yourself with before flight

A
  • Airspace boundaries
  • Upper + lower limits
  • Controlling authority
  • Frequencies
  • Visual reporting points
24
Q

If another controller has arranged a clearance on your behalf without you having to request one whose responsibility is it to ensure that a clearance has been obtained prior to entering the controlled airspace

A

Yours

25
Q

If you are in controlled airspace and need to request clearance to enter another controlled airspace what must you do

A

The request is made on the frequency you are currently using, they will then instruct you to contact … control where you will make a position report and again request clearance to enter their airspace

26
Q

What must you do when you are under the control of an ATC unit that doesn’t have a radar

A

You must report when you are at the places stated in the clearance, and you must report when reaching and leaving assigned altitudes

27
Q

SQUAWK …

A

Set the code as instructed and read back.

28
Q

RESET SQUAWK … (mode/code)

A

Reselect the assigned mode/code. used if the controller thinks you have selected the wrong code Read back “RESET SQUAWK 3714”

29
Q

RESUME OWN NAVIGATION

A

Is used after the radar controller has vectored you, means that vectoring has finished and you may turn as required to regain you cleared track. You respond with “RESUMING OWN NAVIGATION TO…”

30
Q

DESCEND/CLIMB TO …

A

Commence your descent/climb as soon as practicable, your are required to read back these instructions

31
Q

WHEN READY … (descend/ climb to … alt)

A

Used by ATC when issuing a clearance to descend/climb, it means that you start your descent/climb to the given altitude when you are ready. You are required to read back these instructions

32
Q

REPORT YOUR LEVEL

A

Report your altitude

33
Q

IDENTIFIED

A

The radar controller has positively identified which target on the radar screen is your aircraft, you acknowledge using your callsign

34
Q

FLY HEADING

A

Turn onto a given heading and follow this heading until ATC advises further, this is used when under radar control, read back headings

35
Q

CONFIRM SQUAWK

A

Confirm the Mode A code set on your transponder. Your response would be to check that you have the correct code selected on your transponder and read back this code to the controller

36
Q

SQUAWK CHARLIE

A

Set your transponder, so it will transmit your mode c info, do this by selecting alt function

37
Q

SQUAWK (code and) INDENT

A

Press indent button, causing your radar symbol to flash so that the controller can identify you , you don’t need to verbally respond

38
Q

CONFIRM (level) …

A

Check and report your altitude to the nearest 100 ft

39
Q

When ATC is checking your Mode C info how close must ATC’s readout be to your actual alt

A

Within 200ft

40
Q

If it not possible to comply with instructions what should you do

A

Request an amended clearance

41
Q

If you don’t understand what is required of you by ATC what should you do

A

Advise the controller and ask for a repeat

42
Q

If you cannot find which frequency to use who should you ask

A

Flight Information

43
Q

CHECK ALTIMETER SETTING AND CONFIRM

A

Check that you have the correct setting on your altimeter subscale (correct QNH set) and report your alt to the nearest 100ft, respond with ALTIMETER …, LEVEL …ft

44
Q

STOP SQUAWK

A

Select OFF

45
Q

STOP SQUAWK CHARLIE WRONG INDICATION

A

Having tried the previous transmission and procedure to correct a wrong readout of your altitude, it is still not within acceptable limits. It could also be that your altitude readout on the screen is erratic. It is better not to transmit Mode C information rather than have wrong information. To stop squawking Charlie (Mode C) you set your transponder to the ON function.

46
Q

SQUAWK

A

Return to normal transponder operation, check that you are using the correct transponder function

47
Q

SQUAWK STANDBY

A

Select SBY on your transponder

48
Q

SQAUWK MAYDAY

A

Squawk emergency code 7700

49
Q

When is it a requirement for transponders to be selected to ON or ALT

A

In controlled and uncontrolled airspace, so radar controllers can identify you and aircraft equipped with ACAS can receive the transponder transmissions and enhance their ability to avoid a collision

50
Q

When should the transponder be selected to SBY

A

After engine start and while taxiing to takeoff position

51
Q

When should the transponder be selected to ON/ALT

A

Immediately before takeoff and left there during flight

52
Q
