ITA- Block 8 Flashcards
1000 and 3
Aircraft in controlled airspace must have at least 3 miles visibility and maintain 500feet distance from the ground as well as from cloud overhead
Minima for VFR AC in an uncontrolled airspace during the day above 1000 feet AGL
1 mile visibility with 2000 feet between the AC and cloud horizontally, 500 feet below cloud
Minima for VFR AC in an uncontrolled airspace during the day below 1000 feet AGL
Flight visibility of two miles and clear of cloud
Minima for a VFR AC in an uncontrolled airspace above 1000 feet AGL at night
Flight visibility of 3 miles, 2000 feet from cloud horizontally and 500 vertically.
Minima for a VFR AC in uncontrolled airspace below 1000 feet AGL at night
Visibility 3 miles and clear of cloud.
VFR over the top conditions
There must be 5000feet between cloud layers and 1000feet between the AC and cloud with both flight visibility and cruising altitude being 5 miles
Special VFR conditions
Flight visibility must be at least one mile (one half mile for helicopter) and the AC must have visual reference to the ground at all times
What are the differences between an airport and an aerodrome?
All airports are aerodromes but not all aerodromes are airports. An airport is an aerodrome that is licensed and will be listed in the CFS.
When two AC are converging at the same altitude, who has the right of way?
The AC with the other on its right gives way
Minimum altitude and distance for an AC from a built up area
2000 feet horizontally, 1000 feet vertically
Minimum altitude and distance of a balloon from a built up area
500 feet vertically and 500 feet horizontally
What is the minimum distance for an AC other than an airplane or balloon from a built up area?
1000 feet vertically and 500 feet horizontally
What are the four types of activities that are considered special circumstances and have different rules that apply to them?
Towing -formation flights -aerobatic manoeuvres -parachuting
When is it allowable for an AC to fly without a flight plan or flight itinerary?
When it is a VFR flight and the AC is not flying further than 25 NM from their departure aerodrome.
Composite flight plan
A flight plan which is VFR for part of the flight and IFR for part.
