Minimum enroute altitude

allows reception of an acceptable navigational signal from a NAVAID & provides terrain clearance

21
Q

MSA

A

Minimum sector altitude

Lowest altitude that provides a minimum clearance of 1000ft (under standard temp. & pressure) within a 25NM radius

22
Q

MVA

A

Minimum vectoring altitude

Lowest altitude for vectoring aircraft by ATC that meets obstacle clearance & radio coverage

23
Q

Safe altitude 100NM

A

Lowest altitude that provide a minimum clearance of 1000ft above all obstacles within 100NM of an aerodrome

24
Q

AMA

A

Area minimum altitude

Lowest altitude that provides a minimum vertical clearance of 1000ft above all obstacles located in the area specified

25
Q

Transition altitude

A

Highest altitude at which the vertical position of the aircraft is express in ft, above it position is expressed at a flight level

26
Q

MRA

A

Minimum reception altitude

Lowest altitude ASL at which acceptable navigational signal coverage is received

27
Q

SIDs

A

Standard instrument departures

3D IFR routes produced to expedite safe & efficient flow of air traffic

28
Q

STARs

A

Standard terminal arrivals

3D IFR routes produced to expedite safe & efficient flow of air traffic

29
Q

2 types of SID

A

Pilot navigation SIDs
(pilot is required to use SID chart as reference for navigation)

Vector SIDs
(ATC will provide navigational guidance (vectors) to an assigned route)

30
Q

6 commonly used charts

A

VFR aeronautical charts
Canada Air Pilot
Terminal charts
Enroute low altitude charts

VNCs (VFR Navigation Charts)
WACs (World Aeronautical Charts)

32
Q

VTAs

A

VFR Terminal Area Charts

Provide detailed info for VFR pilots operating in busy terminal areas

33
Q

VNCs

A
