Hectopascals (when pressure 999hPa or less “hectopascals” must be stated when passing.
When should the QNH be passed to an ac?
QNH should be passed to :
Inbound ac outbound ac transit ac inside CAS below the transition altitude when the QNH changes, to ac already given the QNH
QFE should be passed to:
VFR circuit training ac
ac when requested (e.g. SRA on QFE)
when the QFE changes, to ac already given the QFE
RPS should be passed to:
ac outside CAS that are remaining at or below transition altitude when service is terminated
ac when requested
What is the transition altitude?
4000ft inside the Wessex CTR/CTA
3000ft in class G airspace
What should be available to ac operating on the QFE?
the threshold elevation should be available as RWY17 threshold elevation is 8ft below the aerodrome elevation and must be passed to all pilots operating on the QFE before commenccing their final approach
What ASR is Wessex situated within?
Portland ASR

When visibility is 2000m or less
What are the restrictions for taxiing ac on the main southern taxiway?
Code E and F cannot be taxied behind other Code E and F ac holding at A1, J1, and L1
What restrictions are there for ac taxiing via N?
Only Code C and D ac can pass eachother at N2 & N3 and only when one is stationary
What restrictions apply to the taxiway between V4 & U4?
Limited wing tip clearance between V4 & U4 and taxiway VL between VL3 and the main apron means only ac Code C and smaller can pass eachother
