All About Airports
Runway edge lights are this Color.
White
These are the four serves provided by ATS personnel:
Information services
Advisory services
Control services
Alerting services
This altitude seperates high and low level airspace.
FL180
On a descent from FL270, a pilot mush change their altimeter setting to the nearest station in this pressure region.
Standard Pressure Region (SPR)
Top of descent is in this phase of flight.
Enroute phase
This period starts at the end of evening civil twilight and ends at the start of morning civil twilight.
Night
These two services are provided by all ATS personnel.
Information services
Alerting services
When the tower in Class C and Class D or space closes, the airspace becomes this.
Class E Airspace
An aircraft is flying at 8000 feet from one airport to another. What is the type of aircraft flying and in which direction?
IFR westbound
This frequency group provides amendments to IFR clearance.
Clearance Delivery
The primary difference between precision and non-precision approaches.
Non-precision =
Azimuth / Lateral Guidance
Precision =
Azimuth + Glide Path / Lateral and Vertical Guidance
If aircraft on an apron would like to pick up their IFR clearance to another airport, which ATS position would they call?
Clearance Delivery
High-level airspace is further divided into these three separate areas of controlled airspace. (With altitudes)
SDA (FL180)
NDA (FL230)
ACA (FL270)
List the following in the correct order in terms of right of way. The one that gives way will be last)
Gliders
Power driven heavier than air aircraft
Balloons
Airships
Balloons
Gliders
Airships
Power driven heavier than air aircraft
This frequency group provides a secure arrival sequence.
Terminal Arrival
Noise Abatement Procedures be found in these two documents.
CAP & the CFS
State the objective of control services.
These classes of airspace require clearance for pilots to enter.
Class A, B and C
Ground visibility at an aerodrome can be reported by: (name 3)
ATC units
FSS
CARS
AWOS
Ground based radio station operated by an air operator
Name two frequencies used by FSS.
Mandatory
FISE
General Broadcast
Ground
Name 4 of the following criteria:
The PIC of an aircraft operating at or in the vicinity of an aerodrome shall…
1) Observe aerodrome traffic to avoid a collision.
2) Conform to or avoid the pattern of traffic formed by other aircraft in operation.
3) Make all turns to the left when operating within aerodrome traffic circuit, except where right turns are specified by the Minister in the CFS or where otherwise authorized by the appropriate ATC unit.
4) If the aerodrome is an airport or heliport, comply with any operating restrictions specified by the Minister in the CFS.
5) Where practicable, land and take off into the wind unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate ATC unit.
6) Maintain a continuous listening watch on the appropriate frequency for aerodrome control communications, or if not possible, keep watch for visual instructions by the ATC unit.
7) Where the aerodrome is controlled, obtain from the ATC unit, clearance to taxi, takeoff from or land at the aerodrome.
Name two pieces of information that FSS at an AAS site would provide in the advisory.
Traffic of note and runway conditions
Class F airspace is further divided into these categories.
Advisory
Restricted
Danger
What are the required weather conditions for VFR flights around an airport?
Ground in sight.
Ground visibility at least 3 miles.
1 mile horizontally, 500 feet vertically from a cloud.
Minimum 500 feet above ground, except during take off and landing.
These are the points where the Arrival phase of flight begins for IFR and VFR aircraft.
IFR: Initial Approach Fix (IAF)
VFR: 1000 feet above runway elevation or VFR pattern entry
