VFR

Question 1

VFR and radio contact

Answer 1

Doesn’t need to operate on radio contact unless in controlled airspaces

Question 2

VMC and IMC

Answer 2

Minima Meteorological conditions in which VFR is allowed to fly

if conditions are worse than VMC then it becomes IMC and required IFR

Question 3

If VFR loses radio comm?

Answer 3

• 1. Sqwk 7600
• 1. continue to fly VFR
• 1. find nearest aerodrome to land
• 1. alert ATS about arrival/landing immediately to avoid initiating SSR

Question 4

VMC visibility conditions by class

Answer 4

**Above 100FL (10,000 ft)
**
8km vis.
1500m horz & 1000ft ver from cloud
=>class A,B,C,D,E,F,G

**Between 100FL (10,000 ft) & 3000ft amsl
**
5km vis.
1500m horz & 1000ft ver from cloud
=>class A,B,C,D,E,F,G

**Below 3000ft amsl
**
5km vis.
1500m horz & 1000ft ver from cloud
=>class A,B,C,D,E

AND
5km vis.
clear from cloud
=>class F, G

vfr in class A not allowed, but maybe in SVFR

Question 5

VMC visibility exception

Answer 5

with approval from ATC -
you can fly down to 1.5km vis if
- flying slow
- area has very low traffic

Question 6

VFR in a CTR zone or traffic zone/traffic patter

Answer 6

unless cleared by ATC -
A VFR can’t land or take off in Control zones unless

ground vis is 5km minimum
cloud ceiling is 1500ft minimum

Question 7

What is SVFR

Answer 7

a VFR flight that needs to operate in a controlled airspace below MVC criteria

Question 8

minimal conditions for SVFR in a controlled airspace

Answer 8

with clearance from ATC, the SVFR can land and depart with min conditions of:

1500 m vis (ICAO recommendations)
3km vis (EASA regulation)

Question 9

in svfr, looking out for obstacle’s is who’s responsibility?

Answer 9

Pilot

Question 10

Minimum distance above obstacles in congested vs non?

Answer 10

In congested, big cities, open assembly of people – must keep
1000 ft height from obstacle
600 m radius

above non-congested
min 500 m is sufficient

Question 11

Flight level to fly when in VFR

Answer 11

Above transition attitude - you fly at flight level using standard pressure 1013hpa

Flight level you fly depends on the aircraft magnetic track

Above FL290
359M 0M
320 300
360 340
400 380
440 420
480 460
Etc..
180M 179M

Below FL290
359M 0M
25 35
45 55
65 75
85 95
105 115
Etc..
180M 179M
