Q

What are the methods of identification?

A
  • geo location
  • location relative to a navaid

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?

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?

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
When do you switch from approach control to aerodrome control?
In the vicinity of the aerodrome
26
When should atc advise of delays?
When delays are expected to exceed 30 mins
27
Who is responsible for separation on a visual approach?
Atc
28
When should an assigned speed be reported to atc by pilots?
- at any position report | - in an initial call after a frequency change
29
What is the separation from a holding area?
5 mins flying time (unless lateral separation exists)
30
What can be used as a checkpoint for a timed approach?
A suitable point on the approach path that is capable of being determined by the pilot
31
What action is required by atc with regards to timed approaches?
To pass to the aircraft a specified point inbound at the previously notified time
32
What is a definition of a significant change of wind?
``` Headwind = 10kts Tailwind = 2kts Crosswind = 5kts ``` (Remember “what’s the time? 10 to 5”)
33
What is the objective of class f airspace?
To separate of IFR traffic operating on an IFR flight plan
34
How do you cross an airway and an advisory route?
At right angles and at the appropriate FL
35
What traffic receive advisory services in advisory airspace?
Only participating IFR traffic
36
What flights can receive FIS in class f airspace?
All flight if requested
37
What are the two emergency frequencies?
Air to ground = 121.5 | Air to air = 123.45 (used as a backup)
38
Who must be warned in the case of an emergency descent?
Aircraft in the vicinity (must broadcast the altitude at intervals)
39
What should you do if you are informed of an emergency descent?
Unless instructed to clear the area: - maintain hdg and speed in accordance with current clearance - stand by for further clearances from ATCU
40
What is the minimum altitude for fuel jettison?
6000ft
41
Where must fuel jettison be carried out?
- clear of towns and best over water | - clear of CBS
42
What is a strayed ac?
One that has deviated significant from its intended track or if reports that it is lost
43
What is an unidentified ac?
One that ATC is aware of but doesn’t know who they are
