Answer 2

Like an airborne NOTAM. Controller or Flt info service officer passes info pertinent to safe and efficient conduct of flight: such as weather, change of facilities, condition at aerodrome. Etc

Question 3

D
  - CTZ - 0 to specified
  - CTA  >0 to specified
E - below 6000 feet
G - specified to 195

Question 4

Answer 4

Control zone - ground to specified

Control area - specified (above ground) to specified

Question 5

MATZ & ATZ dimensions?

Answer 5

ATZ (Air traffic zone)

• Surface to 2000ft AAL (above aerodrome level)
• Radius 2nm or 2.5nm (if runway > 1850m)
• From midpoint of longest runway

MATZ

• Surface to 3000ft AAL
• Radius 5nm (can be 3nm at smaller airfield)
• Stub(s)
  
  • 1000ft to 3000ft AAL
  • 4nm wise
  • 5nm long

Question 6

UK Visual Flight Rules?

Answer 6

• Aircraft to remain in weather that meets VMC minima

- Pilot responsible for safe separation from other aircraft

Question 7

Instrument Flight Rules outside controlled airspace?

Answer 7

• Above 3000ft
• Set 1013 on altimeter
• Select FL based on IFR semi circular rules (odd 000M - 179M and even 180M - 359M). * MAGNETIC *
