ZAE Airspace Flashcards
What are compulsory reporting points?
Geographical locations which are defined by navigational aids/fixes.
How are compulsory reporting points designated on aeronautical charts?
By solid triangles
How are compulsory reporting points filed in a flight plan?
As fixes selected to define direct routes
What agency must compulsory reporting points be reported to?
ATC
When should pilots discontinue position reporting over compulsory reporting points?
When informed by ATC that their aircraft is in “radar contact”
What is the Minimum En Route Altitude (MEA)? 3 points
- The Lowest published altitude between radio fixes
- assures acceptable navigational signal coverage
- meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.
What is the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)?
A worldwide position and time determination system that includes one or more satellite constellations.
What is the Global Navigation Satellite System Minimum En Route IFR Altitude (GNSS MEA)? (4 points)
- The minimum en route IFR altitude
- on a published ATS route or route segment
- which assures acceptable GNSS reception
- and meets obstacle clearance requirements
What is the Minimum Reception Altitude (MRA)?
The lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined
What is the Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA)?
The lowest altitude at certain fixes at which an aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher MEA
What is the Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude (MOCA)?
The lowest published altitude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments which meet obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which assure acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 miles of a VOR.
