Valley traffic: 1000ft Valley QFE.
Mona traffic: 2000ft Mona QFE.
What speed should you fly at if joining behind at Texan?
No faster than 300kts IAS.
What is the maximum G for a VRIAB?
4G
What is the maximum number of aircraft in each formation for a VRIAB?
4.
What is the minimum break height?
500ft for all Rwys except Rwy 31.
Rwy 31: 800ft.
What is the maximum number of speaking units in the visual cct?
3, with one extra departing or joining to land.
What is the restriction on SIAs when Valley Rwy 31 and Mona Rwy 04 in use?
No SIAs to Mona Rwy 04.
When should you contact tower when performing an SIA?
At least 1 minute before achieving 5nm on the centreline.
Who should you request clearance from for an SIA when on recovery?

What should you call at 2nm on an SIA?
“Final, gear down”
When should you inform ATC that you intend to rejoin through initial or for an SIA following a touch and go?

State how you would go about positioning for a rejoin from the climb upwind.
Position wide downwind and remain at 1000ft QFE.
Rejoins on Rwy 31 should be flown to the left, over the sea, avoiding Rhosneigr. This is to prevent conflictions with Mona cct traffic.
What restrictions apply to flapless approaches?
They are not to be made with the intention to land unless in an emergency.
Flapless approaches to Rwy 01 should be terminated at high approaches not below 150ft QFE.
Flapless approaches at night prohibited unless in an emergency.
Specifically for Hawk:
Max Fuel 500kg (+200kg for every 10kts of headwind).
Minimum LDA: 5000ft
X-wind < 25kts (chute limit)
If doing a T&G, power must be applied by 3000ft to go.
Can you perform a landing or Touch and Go without a caravan in place?
No, except during dual runway ops or in an emergency.
