Random 3 Flashcards
In the case of air-ground voice communication failure:
• Aircraft shall use all available means to establish contact.
• Aerodrome traffic to watch for visual signals.
When is the submission of a flight plan is required?
• Flying across international borders
• IFR flight operating within advisory airspace.
• Air traffic control service is to be provided or requested.
.
What are the contents of an arrival report?
• Aircraft identification.
• Departure aerodrome.
• Destination aerodrome (only in case of diversionary landing).
• Arrival aerodrome.
• Time.
Why are lights fitted to the exterior of aircraft ?
• To make the aircraft more visible to others.
• To indicate the relative path of the aircraft.
• To improve pilot’s visibility during critical phases of flight.
• To attract attention.
• To provide illumination for other specific purposes.
• To indicate that its engines are running.
• To indicate the extremities of their structure.
What are the requirements for simulated instrument flights?
• Aircraft fitted with fully functioning dual controls.
• Safety pilot in control seat in aircraft.
• Safety pilot qualified to fly aircraft type.
• Safety pilot field of view adequate to both forward and to each side or a competent observer in communication with safety pilot and can supplement the view of safety pilot.
What are the minimum heights for VFR flights?
• Over cities, towns, or settlements or over an open assembly of people.
• Height not less than 1000 ft. above highest obstacle within radius of 600 m from the aircraft.
Elsewhere than as specified above:
• Height not less than 500ft. above ground or water
what is a controlled flight?
A controlled flight is any flight that is subject to an ATC clearance.
What is the procedure if in IMC or IFR when communication failure occur and provided with surveillance service:
• Maintain the last assigned speed & level or climb to minimum flight altitude if its higher than assigned level for a period of 7 minutes following the time that:
- The last assigned level or minimum flight altitude is reached or
- The transponder is set to code 7600 or
- Failure to report over a reporting point or
Whichever is later, then adjust level and speed according to FPL.
Give some examples of distress signals
Signal by radiotelephony SOS or MAYDAY
Red light parachute flare.
Data link sending MAYDAY.
Rockets or shells throwing red lights fired one at a time in short intervals.
What are the conditions in which a VFR flight shall not take off or land at an aerodrome within a control zone, or enter the aerodrome traffic pattern?
• When the ceiling is less than 1500ft. when the ground visibility is less than 5 km.
Between sunset and sunrise or such other period between ( sunset and sunrise) as may be prescribed by the appropriate authority.
• Above FL 200
• At transonic or supersonic speed.
What are the colors used on the movement area and what do they indicate?
Flashing green: Cleared to taxi.
Steady green: Cleared for take off.
Flashing red: Taxi clear of landing area in use.
Steady red: Stop.
Flashing White: Return to starting point on the aerodrome.
In what ways can an aircraft acknowledge single given?
When in flight:
• During the hours of daylight –by rocking the wings.
• During the hours of darkness-by flashing on and off twice the landing lights or switching on and off twice the navigation lights.
When on the ground:
• During the hours of daylight - by moving the ailerons or rudder.
• During the hours of darkness – by flashing on and off twice the landing lights or switching on and off twice the navigation lights.
An aircraft in distress may:
• Use any means to attract attention Make position known.
•Get help.
An urgency signal is used when an aircraft wishes to give notice concerning the safety of a ship, aircraft or some other vehicle, or of some person on board or within sight.
True.
What are the signal colors used on an aircraft in flight and what do they indicate?
Flashing green: Return for landing.
Steady green: Cleared to land.
Flashing red: Aerodrome unsafe. Do not land.
Steady red: Give way to other aircraft and continue circling
Red pyrotechnic: not withstanding any previous instructions do not land for the time being.
Flashing White: Land at this aerodrome and proceed to apron
