Q

If the RTR is less than 2nm how often are range and advisory heights passed to crew?

A

Every 0.5nm

19
Q

If the RTR is 2nm how often are range and advisory heights passed to crew?

A

Every 1nm

20
Q

What type of approach is an SRA approach?

A

Non-precision

21
Q

What is the latest a landing clearance can be given?

A

2nm

22
Q

Is “land after” a clearance to land?

A

No (it’s a provisional clearance)

23
Q

What info is passed to crew prior to taxi?

A
  • runway in use
  • wind
  • qnh
  • air temperature (jets only)
  • visibility or RVR
  • time
24
Q

What info is passed to crew prior to entering the traffic pattern?

A
  • rwy in use
  • wind
  • qnh
25
Q

When do you switch from approach control to aerodrome control?

A

In the vicinity of the aerodrome

26
Q

When should atc advise of delays?

A

When delays are expected to exceed 30 mins

27
Q

Who is responsible for separation on a visual approach?

A

Atc

28
Q

When should an assigned speed be reported to atc by pilots?

A
  • at any position report

- in an initial call after a frequency change

29
Q

What is the separation from a holding area?

A

5 mins flying time (unless lateral separation exists)

30
Q

What can be used as a checkpoint for a timed approach?

A

A suitable point on the approach path that is capable of being determined by the pilot

31
Q

What action is required by atc with regards to timed approaches?

A

To pass to the aircraft a specified point inbound at the previously notified time

32
Q

What is a definition of a significant change of wind?

A 
Headwind = 10kts
Tailwind = 2kts
Crosswind = 5kts

(Remember “what’s the time? 10 to 5”)

33
Q

What is the objective of class f airspace?

A

To separate of IFR traffic operating on an IFR flight plan

34
Q

How do you cross an airway and an advisory route?

A

At right angles and at the appropriate FL

35
Q

What traffic receive advisory services in advisory airspace?

A

Only participating IFR traffic

36
Q

What flights can receive FIS in class f airspace?

A

All flight if requested

37
Q

What are the two emergency frequencies?

A

Air to ground = 121.5

Air to air = 123.45 (used as a backup)

38
Q

Who must be warned in the case of an emergency descent?

A

Aircraft in the vicinity (must broadcast the altitude at intervals)

39
Q

What should you do if you are informed of an emergency descent?

A

Unless instructed to clear the area:

  • maintain hdg and speed in accordance with current clearance
  • stand by for further clearances from ATCU
40
Q

What is the minimum altitude for fuel jettison?

A

6000ft

41
Q

Where must fuel jettison be carried out?

A
  • clear of towns and best over water

- clear of CBS

42
Q

What is a strayed ac?

A

One that has deviated significant from its intended track or if reports that it is lost

43
Q

What is an unidentified ac?

A

One that ATC is aware of but doesn’t know who they are
