Decreases from 300m to 150m
Who determines OCA / OCH?
The authority of the state
The MOC in the intermediate phase of a missed approach is:
30m
What is the speed limitation in the hold for Class A & B aircraft below 14,000ft?

Parallel runways - one for arrival and one for departure - what is this called?
Segregated parallel operations
What is the general speed limit in class C airspace for IFR flight?
Not applicable
A clearance to “fly maintaining own separation while VMC’ may be given by the appropriate ATS authority. This may be requested by the pilot a controlled flight and has to be agreed by the pilot of the other aircraft. Additional conditions are:

Define ‘Essential Local Traffic’
Essential local traffic consists of any a/c, vehicle or personnel on or near the runway to be used, or traffic in the take-off, climb-out or final approach areas, which may constitute a collision hazard to a departing or arriving aircraft

400m
How are areas of taxiways, aprons and runway turning points defined where the weight of the aircraft is unbearable?
Two lines with the same colour as taxiway centreline markings
Runway threshold identification lights, when provided, should be:

The repeated switching on and off of the landing lights
When must aerodrome lighting be available?
At least 1 hour before the planned movement of aircraft
