Progress 2 Flashcards
In the vicinity of an aerodrome that is going to be used by the aircraft, the vertical position of the aircraft shall be expressed as:
The altitude above sea level at or below the transition altitude.
Who is responsible for the determination of the Transition Level in Saint Lucia’s airspace ?
The approach control unit or the aerodrome Control Tower.
The elevation of Moule A Chique is?
830ft
Define coordinatation
The process of obtaining agreement on clearances, transfer of control, and information to be issued to aircraft, by means of information exchanged between ATS units or between controller working positions.
A descending aircraft flying through the transition layer vertical position should be reported as:
Altitude above mean sea level.
What is the elevation of Piton Flore?
1875 feet.
What is the VMC minima for a VFR flight inside a class D ATS airspace ?
5km visibility when below 3050 m (10,000 feet) AMSL or 1500 m horizontal and 300 m vertical from cloud.
What is the elevation of Mount Gimmie?
3117 feet
Airport taxiway edge lights are identified at night by:
Blue omni-directional lights.
What is the transition level?
The first available flight level above the transition altitude.
In accordance with ICAO, unless authorized by ATC, a VFR flight is not permitted to take off from an aerodrome within a CTR when:
Cloud ceiling is less than 1,500 ft OR ground visibility is less than 5 km
What is the minimum vertical separation between IFR aircraft flying below FL290?
1000 feet
What minimum ground visibility is required to enable a SVFR flight to take off from an aerodrome in a CTR?
1,500 feet
What is the speed limit (IAS) in airspace D?
250 kt for IFR and VFR, below FL100.
What shall be the determined transition level by Saint Lucia Approach, when the current QNH is 1011 hPa?
F110
Describe the threshold lights.
Green and omnidirectional
When VMC condition exists at an aerodrome, control of a departing aircraft may be transferred from the unit providing Aerodrome control to the unit providing Approach control, as specified by LOA or local ATS instructions:
• When the aircraft is at a prescribed point or level.
• Prior to the time the aircraft leaves the vicinity of the aerodrome.
• Prior to the aircraft entering IMC conditions.
The elevation of the College Hill (Vigie) is:
359 feet
Approximately what QNH pressure corresponds to the QFE pressure 1000 hPa on an airfield with the elevation 200m ? (Consider 1 hPa = 30 feet)
1022 hpa
The elevation of Mt. Fortune is:
967 feet.
What are the items of essential aerodrome information normally given to a pilot?
• Construction or maintenance work on, or immediately adjacent to the movement area.
• Rough or broken surfaces on a runway, a taxiway or an apron, whether marked or not.
• Water, snow, slush, ice or frost on a runway, a taxiway or an apron.
• Anti-icing or de-icing liquid chemicals or other contaminant on a runway, taxiway or apron.
• Snow banks or drifts adjacent to a runway, a taxiway or an apron.
• Other temporary hazards, including parked aircraft and birds on the ground or in the air.
• Failure or irregular operation of part or all of the aerodrome lighting system;
What is the frequency of BNE NDB?
305 kHz
When VFR operations are suspended, the Aerodrome controller shall:
• Hold all VFR departures.
• Recall all local VFR flights.
• Obtain requested SVFR clearances from Approach.
• Obtain requested IFR clearances from Approach.
• Notify Approach and local operators of the action taken.
When should the pilot of a departing aircraft flying under IFR shall change the altimeter setting from QNH to standard pressure setting ?
When passing the transition altitude.
