SQ code for LOST
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
Safety com - what is it and how to contact?
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
When do you RT “radio”?
Radio is an air/ground comm with only basic information available. Manned stations cannot give you authorisation or clearances
98
Callsign ‘information’ - what is it?
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. AFIS - AD flight information service

110
Which kind of AC is the PA28?
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.

116
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? Steady red
In flight - Give way to other AC and continue circling On ground - STOP
117
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? Steady Green
In flight - Clear to LD Ground - Clear for TO
118
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? Red flashes
In flight - Do NOT LD: ad not avail for LDG Ground - Move clear of LDG area
119
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? Green flashes
In flight - Return for LDG. Clearance to LD will be given in due course Ground - Clear to taxi
120
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? White flashes
In flight - LD at this AD and proceed to apron, clearance to LD will be given in due course Ground - Return to starting point on the AD
121
AD to AC light signals - what does ... mean? Red pyrotechnic
In flight - not withstanding (in spite of) any previous instructions, do NOT LD for the time being Ground - NONE
122
Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft: Day and in flight
Rock AC wings, except if on base/final appr
123
Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft: Day and on ground
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
Acknowledgement of light signals by aircraft: Night and in flight or on ground
Flashing on and off x2 LDG or NAV lights
125
What is Safetycom and its freq?
A freq used to transmit over an airfield where there is no dedicated freq for that airfield. Safetycom freq is 135.475mhz.
126
When do you use Safetycom?
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
What is a VOLMET?
Continuous radio broadcast of AD METAR reports. Can be used in flight for wx updates. Scottish VOLMET is 125.725Mhz
128
What is QGH?
Controlled descent through cloud. Use only by RAF.
129
What is SERA?
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
What is the UK rules of the air 2015?
These are laws and procedures established by the UK for air operations.
