25
When is TIBA introduced
If significant disruption to ATC or related services occurs
26
What happens under TIBA procedures
Pilots provide their own separation
27
Initial call
Made to establish radio communication - callsign of station being called followed by aircraft callsign
28
Reply to the initial call
Callsign of the station that made the initial call and callsign of station responding
29
Say again (an item)
Say again the specific item in the message
30
What must be readback
Clearances and numbers
31
VFR loss of radio communication
Don't declare emergency as separation from is possible with a good lookout
32
IFR loss of radio communication
Declaring an emergency is an option
33
Loss of communication following procedure
- Fly aircraft - Squawk 7600 - Maintain separation - Keep a good lookout - Carry out onboard checks
34
Onboard radio checks - loss of communication
- Check masters, avionics, radio ON - Mic leads IN - Circuit breakers - Volume + squelch level - High ground
35
Communication failure after onboard checks
- Change frequency - Change mic - Relay through other aircraft - Prefix with transmitting blind - Fly higher
36
Controlled airspace loss of radio communication
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
How will pilots be advised of TIBA
NOTAM action
38
Pre-flight radio test
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
Signal Check
When the aircraft is airborne and radio is ON an in-flight radio check is required
40
Maintenance check
For a ground test during maintenance
41
Readability scale
1 (unreadable) - 5 (perfectly readable)
42
Requesting ground station participation in a radio check
Name of station calling, aircraft callsign, RADIO CHECK ON (frequency)
43
Requested by a ground station to participate in a radio check
The ground station transmits your aircraft callsign followed by numerals and you respond with your callsign, READING YOU (1-5)
44
TIBA frequency
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
TIBA listening watch
Maintained 10 minutes prior to entering airspace, or if leaving an aerodrome within the airspace commence ASAP before takeoff
46
TIBA time of broadcasts
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
47
When to use the speechless technique using unmodulated transmissions
The transmitter is working but the mic is unserviceable but able to be used for unmodulated transmissions
48
The relay system is not able to be used for flight under what alt
400ft
49
Where can you find info on LRG VHF frequencies in NZ
FISCOM charts
50
What should you do if you are unable to contact with an ATS unit due to high terrain
``` 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
Speechless technique using unmodulated transmissions ATS procedure
Upon hearing the unmodulated transmission ATS will instruct the pilot to activate the transmitter 3 times and then proceed to ask questions
52
Unmodulated transmissions YES
Press once
53
Unmodulated transmissions NO
Press twice
54
Unmodulated transmissions SAY AGAIN
Press three times
55
Unmodulated transmissions AT NOMINATED POSITION
Press 4 times
56
Light signal - Steady green
In-flight - cleared to land | On aerodrome - cleared to takeoff
57
Light signal - Steady Red
In-flight - give way to other traffic and continue circulating On aerodrome - stop
58
Light signal - Green Flashes
In-flight - return for landing | On aerodrome - cleared to taxi
59
Light signal - Red flashes
In-flight - aerodrome unsafe don't land | On aerodrome - taxi clear of the landing area in use
60
Light signal - White flashes
In-flight - land at this aerodrome and proceed to the apron | On aerodrome - return to the starting point on this aerodrome
61
Light signal - Red and green flashes
In-flight - Danger be on alert | On aerodrome - Danger be on alert
62
Light signal - Red pyrotechnic
