Q

What are FIAs?

A

Flight Information Areas

18
Q

What is CTAF

A

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency

Informs pilots as to what the correct frequency is

19
Q

What is the MULTICOM

A

126.7

Used when no CTAF is available

20
Q

In what places is the carriage and use of a radio mandatory when the tower is closed

A

Class C and MIL aerodromes

21
Q

what are broadcast areas

A

areas within class G that have CTAF assigned

22
Q

What is the Surveillance Information Service

A

traffic advice on other known traffic that may conflict with your flightpath

23
Q

When should clearance into controlled airspace be given to the SIS frequency

A

5-10 min before entering the airspace

24
Q

What code letter is used for the ATIS outside of hours

A

ZULU

25
Q

What is FLIGHTWATCH

A

Gives latest weather information for a local area

26
Q

Where MUST aircraft be radio equipped

A

CERT, REG or MIL

27
Q

Are non-radio aircraft allowed to operate at a CTAF aerodrome

A

yes

28
Q

In terms of AFRU, how long must no transmission have occurred for there to be a generated response

A

5 min

29
Q

when is a beep triggered on the AFRU

A

When there was a transmission in the last 5 minutes

30
Q

when do you have to amend you SARTIME

A

When you change your flight plan

31
Q

If you need to make a distress call and there is no response after multiple attempts, what frequency should you broadcast on

A

121.5 (international emergency frequency)

32
Q

what two frequencies does an analogue ELT simultaneously transmit on?

A

121.5 and 243 MHz

33
Q

what frequency can a digital ELT operate on

A

406 MHz

34
Q

Why does turning to the left or right sometimes help with improving radio signal

A

because the airframe itself can actually cause interference

35
Q

Non-directional Beacons utilise what frequency

A

Low and Medium frequencies

36
Q

Global Navigation Systems operate under what frequency

A

Very Low Frequency

37
Q

why are repeater stations unsuitable for VHF

A

because VHF systems rely on there being only one source from one ground station

38
Q

during the day, what can the thickness of the ionosphere be

A

50-500km

39
Q

during the night, what can the thickness of the ionosphere be

A

100-400km

40
Q

As a general rule for HF,the closer the station……..

A

the lower the most suitable HF frequency

41
Q

waves that actually travel in contact with the earths surface are known as…
