Airspace and Aerodromes Flashcards
(143 cards)
Generally what altimeter must be set if in Auckland Oceanic (outside of Raro, Samoa and Norfolk QNH Zones?
- 1013.2
When should non-QNH aerodromes within NZZO change between 1013.2 and appropriate aerodrome QNH value?
- Within 10nm and below 3000ft
What altimeter setting in between 13000ft and FL150 in the NZZC?
- area QNH as advised by ATC
Min FL when QNH below 980?
- FL160
How set altimeter if departing an aerodrome with no QNH?
- Set aerodrome elevation on the altimeter and obtain appropriate setting as soon as possible and in any case before entering IMC
Can you set on QNH from aerodrome elevation before entering IMC?
- No
How many QNH zones in NZFIR?
-12
Below what latitude do you need to use grid track, not mag track, to determine IFR crusing levels?
- 60deg South
When can 14000ft non standard be issued by ATC?
- emergency or hazardous weather
Outside controlled airspace when can operate in transition layer?
- if unable to operate at any other layer, established no conflict, given prior notification to ATS unit
Lowest odd/even FL/Altitude available IFR in NZZO and NZZC?
- FL30/3000ft and FL40/4000ft
Can you use oceanic cruising levels in NZZC?
- yes, if international flights leaving or transiting NZFIR
What mode must transponder be on in mandatory airspace?
- A and C, or Mode S
Who assigns Mode S code?
state of registry
Do you need specific approval to operate in TM airspace without an operable one? Who from?
- Yes
- The ATC unit who has jurisdiction of that airspace
How man aircraft need to have transponder on in formation?
Only 1
How many times must ATC verify altitude from a transponder before they can use it for separation purposes?
- Once
What SSR code to be set if IFR (including Oceanic) but not assigned a code by ATC yet?
- 2000
What difference between reported altitude and coded altitude will ATC ask pilot to check altimeter setting? If in error what will ATC ask them to do?
- 200ft
- Turn off mode C
If a transponder fails what will ATC let the aircraft do? (partial and complete failures)
- Partial = allow to continue with minimum restriction to final destination and thereafter to repair base
- Complete = some restrictions to destination. not allowed to continue until repaired. May get special approval to go to repair base (restricted to periods of low density and alternate routes).
Is IFR separated from VFR in class D?
- No
Is IFR separated from SVFR in class D?
- Yes
Any speed limits IFR class D?
- Yes
What must upper limit of a control zone be matched to?
- A VFR cruising level
