Question 1

Properties of radio waves:

The travel at a constant speed within a -

The properties of a radio waves is -

They change velocity and direction when passing from one medium into another, this is called -

At higher frequencies . radio waves tend to travel in straight lines and bounce off obstacles. This is called -

At lower frequencies, they tend to pass through and around obstacles. this is called -

They are reflected by objects and obstacles whose -

All frequencies are subject to static interference, but the -

Answer 1

given medium

frequency dependent

Refraction

Diffraction and attenuation

wavelengths are proportional to their own

lower frequencies are affected most.

3. Maintain a safe and orderly flow of air traffic
4. for the safe conduct of flight
5. assist such organisations

Question 3

According to ICAO the speed limit in airspaces class C, D, E, F and G is?

Answer 3

250kts below 10 000ft

Question 4

In the RADAR environment:

What does does “RADAR IDENTIFIED” mean?

Answer 4

ATC has made use of radar to identify your target on their visual display unit but the is still responsible for maintaining their own terrain separation.

Question 5

In the RADAR environment:

What does does “RADAR CONTACT” mean?

Answer 5

ATC has made use of radar to identify your target on their visual display unit but the is still responsible for maintaining their own terrain separation(same as (“RADAR IDENTIFIED”)

Question 6

In the RADAR environment:

What does does “RADAR CONTROL” mean?

Answer 6

ATC is making use of radar to provide the pilot with positive Air Traffic Control service on their visual display unit which includes, but is not limited to, the supply of headings, terrain clearance and vectors.

Question 7

In the RADAR environment:

What does does “vector” mean?

Answer 7

This is the provision of navigational guidance to aircraft by ATC in the form of heading/s

Question 8

In the RADAR environment:

To which definition does the following point:

ATS is cancelling their radar control service and transferring the responsibility of items such as terrain clearance and headings to steer back to the pilot-in-command.

Answer 8

Radar service terminates

Question 9

In the RADAR environment:

To which definition does the following point:

The radar control service of the ATC has been terminated however they will still continue to monitor the IFR aircrafts movements.

Answer 9

Radar control terminates
