SQ code for LOST

A

SQ 0030

Distress and diversion can be contacted on 121.5 if not already in contact with a ATSU.

Alternatively you can also use ATSU with radar services. In Scotland there is Leuchars and Lossiemouth. None to the West.

96
Q

Safety com - what is it and how to contact?

A

For use of AD that do NOT have assigned freq.
Currently 135.475Mhz

Used within 10NM and up to 1000ft of AD circuit.
When making calls, “[x] traffic, [callsign], [PAI]”

97
Q

A

Radio is an air/ground comm with only basic information available.
Manned stations cannot give you authorisation or clearances

98
Q

Callsign ‘information’ - what is it?

A

AFIS do NOT give instructions to AC in the air though they do give mandatory instructions to vehicles and AC on the ground up to a RW holding point.

AFIS is one step up from Radio in that they give more comprehensive info, and will ask for a position report that’s consistent with published AD traffic procedures.

110
Q

Which kind of AC is the PA28?

A

Aluminium alloy semi monocoque monoplane with low semi tapered wings.

Monocoque means that features of the structure are integral to it. Therefore semi monocoque means that parts have been added to the structure e.g. fitting of doors and windscreen/windows.

A

In flight - Clear to LD

Ground - Clear for TO

118
Q

AD to AC light signals - what does … mean?

120
Q

AD to AC light signals - what does … mean?

Ground - Return to starting point on the AD

121
Q

AD to AC light signals - what does … mean?

Red pyrotechnic

A

In flight - not withstanding (in spite of) any previous instructions, do NOT LD for the time being

Ground - NONE

122
Q

Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft:

Day and in flight

A

Rock AC wings, except if on base/final appr

123
Q

Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft:

Day and on ground

A

Move AC ailerons or rudder

(Should move ailerons as you need to consider whether AC has weight on the nose. If weight on the nose and you try to move the rudder while the AC is static, you will break the hydraulic sys)

124
Q

Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft:

Night and in flight or on ground

A

Flashing on and off x2 LDG or NAV lights

125
Q

What is Safetycom and its freq?

A

A freq used to transmit over an airfield where there is no dedicated freq for that airfield.

Safetycom freq is 135.475mhz.

126
Q

When do you use Safetycom?

A

Freq 135.475Mhz.

Used when airfield has no dedicated freq and AC is passing within 2000ft or less than 1000ft AGL and within 10NM of the airfield.

127
Q

What is a VOLMET?

A

Continuous radio broadcast of AD METAR reports. Can be used in flight for wx updates.

Scottish VOLMET is 125.725Mhz

128
Q

What is QGH?

A

Controlled descent through cloud. Use only by RAF.

129
Q

What is SERA?

A

Standard European rules of the air

SERA is used to dictate operating procedures in the air, even when there is not ATZ established. It is sometimes replaced by individual state rules which are published and stated if there is a difference.

130
Q
