  • Change mic
  • Relay through other aircraft
  • Prefix with transmitting blind
  • Fly higher
36
Q

Controlled airspace loss of radio communication

A

Follow recent clearance instructions, avoid high traffic areas, divert to unattended aerodrome if possible, if not enter airspace via published arrival procedure, or approach side onto the runway and do an overhead join

37
Q

How will pilots be advised of TIBA

A

NOTAM action

38
Q

Pre-flight radio test

A

After the radio has been turned on listen to communications with ATS or ATIS broadcasts, if the radio is working no further testing is required, IF ATS isn’t on duty or you are shielded by high ground make a call to ATS after takeoff if there is no response land and investigate the problem

39
Q

Signal Check

A

When the aircraft is airborne and radio is ON an in-flight radio check is required

40
Q

Maintenance check

A

For a ground test during maintenance

41
Q

Readability scale

A

Name of station calling, aircraft callsign, RADIO CHECK ON (frequency)

43
Q

Requested by a ground station to participate in a radio check

A

The ground station transmits your aircraft callsign followed by numerals and you respond with your callsign, READING YOU (1-5)

44
Q

TIBA frequency

A

If initiated through NOTAM the frequency will be included in the advice, if it is not planned use the primary frequency for that airspace

45
Q

TIBA listening watch

A

Maintained 10 minutes prior to entering airspace, or if leaving an aerodrome within the airspace commence ASAP before takeoff

46
Q

TIBA time of broadcasts

A

Give as much advance as possible of your intentions, broadcasts should be made 10 minutes prior to entering airspace, ASAP before/after takeoff, 10 minutes prior to crossing a reporting point, 2-5 minutes prior to changing altitude, when at designated altitude, anytime the pilot considers necessary

A 
Select LRG frequency and ATS unit for the area
Fly at a higher alt
Contact other aircraft to relay 
Transmit blind
Use 5592kHz if HF radio is equipped
51
