Question 1

When does final approach wake turbulence separation apply?

Answer 1

• aircraft operating directly behind another aircraft at the same altitude or < 1,000 ft below
• aircraft is crossing behind another aircraft at same altitude or < 1,000ft below
• both aircraft using the same runway or parallel runways separated by < 760m

Question 2

List all final approach wake turbulence separations;

Lead aircraft - S/H/UM/LM/S/L

Answer 2

S: 0/5/7/7/7/8
H: 0/4/5/5/6/7
UM: 0/0/3/4/4/6
LM: 0/0/0/0/3/5
S: 0/0/0/0/3/4
L: 0

Question 3

When may separation be reduced in the vicinity of aerodromes?

Answer 3

• each aircraft is continuously visible to the aerodrome controller
• each aircraft is continuously visible to the other aircraft and pilots report maintaining own separation
• flight crew of succeeding aircraft reports other in sight and can maintain own separation

Question 4

Define longitudinal separation for departing aircraft

Answer 4

• 1 minute, tracks diverge 45° or more immediately after take off
• 2 minutes, preceding TAS 40kts faster, no manoeuvres
• 5 minutes, preceding TAS 20kts faster
• 10 minutes otherwise

Question 5

What is an Alerting Service?

Answer 5

A service provided to notify appropriate organisations regarding aircraft in need of SAR aid and assist such organisations as required

Question 6

What are the requirements and minimum services in Class D airspace?

Answer 6

Requirements:

• ATC clearance before entry
• Comply with ATC instructions

Minimum Services:

• Separate IFR - IFR
• Traffic information to IFR/SVFR on VFR, traffic avoidance advice when requested
• Traffic information to VFR on all other flights, traffic avoidance advice when requested

Question 7

What are the Visual Meteorological Conditions in class D airspace below FL100?

Answer 7

By Day
Below FL100
1500m Horizontal 1000ft Vertical 5km Vis

By Night
Below FL100 - above 3000ft
1500m Horizontal 1000ft Vertical 5km Vis

At and below 3000ft
1500m Horizontal 1000ft Vertical 5km Vis
Maintain continuous sight of surface

Question 8

When must a pilot fly according to the IFR?

Answer 8

If the airspace has been notified as Class A

If the meteorological conditions preclude VFR or SVFR flight

Question 9

What rules do the IFR require a pilot to comply with inside of controlled airspace?

Answer 9

• File a flight plan and obtain clearance
• Conduct flight in accordance with clearances and isntructions from ATC
• Maintain listening watch, report position according to procedures

Question 10

What are the dimensions of an ATZ?

Answer 10

Surface to 2000ft agl
2.5NM radius where runway >1850m

Surface to 2000ft agl
2NM radius where runway 1850m or less

Question 11

What are the minima/rules for special VFR flights to/from aerodromes/ATZ in class D airspace?

Answer 11

Fixed wing:
Ground visibility 1500m
Cloud ceiling 600ft

Helicopter:
Ground visibility 800m
Cloud ceiling 600ft

140kts or less
Clear of cloud, reference to surface, clear of obstructions

Question 12

What are the minima/rules for special VFR flights transiting class D airspace remaining outside of an ATZ?

Answer 12

Fixed wing:
Flight visibility 1500m

Helicopter:
Flight visibility 800m

140kts or less
Clear of cloud, reference to surface, clear of obstructions

Question 13

Define the following:
Aircraft Accident/Aircraft Accident Imminent
Aircraft Ground Incident
Full Emergency
Local Standby
Weather Standby
Unlawful Acts

Answer 13

Aircraft Accident/Aircraft Accident Imminent
- Aircraft accidents, which have occurred or are inevitable on, or in the vicinity of, the aerodrome.

Aircraft Ground Incident
- Where an aircraft on the ground is known to have an emergency situation other than an accident, requiring the attendance of emergency services.

Full Emergency
- When it is known that an aircraft in the air is, or is suspected to be, in such difficulties that there is a danger of an accident.

Local Standby
- When it is known that an aircraft has, or is suspected to have, developed some defect but the trouble would not normally involve any serious difficulty in effecting a safe landing.

Weather Standby

• When weather conditions are such as to render a landing difficult or difficult to observe,
  e. g. strong crosswind, poor visibility, ice or snow on the runway.

Unlawful Acts
- Action to be taken in the case of any unlawful act will be contained in the aerodrome’s
Contingency Plan, which will be drawn up in conjunction with the local Police.
