Q

What speed limitations are applied in class D airspace?

A

200kts at or below 2500’ AAL within 4nm of aerodrome and 250kts in all other class D airspace (MATS 2.4.1.1).

(MATS 2.4.1.1).

17

A

Upper: FL245
Lower: FL180
under class A airspace
(MATS 2.4.2.1).

(MATS 2.4.2.1).

28
Q

When active, from the following, what areas replace the restrictions of a category of airspace with their own; Danger, Restricted, and Prohibited

A

Restricted, and Prohibited (MATS 2.4.2.1 Note 2).

Note: Services provided within a Danger area may only be modified with OAR approval (MATS 2.4.2.1 Note 2).

29
Q

What equivalent class of airspace service would a civil aircraft travelling through a military (restricted) area recieve?

A

Class C (MATS 2.4.2.2).

30
Q

Do speed limitations apply to military aircraft?

A

No, with the exception of military IFR in class C airspace at location specified in ERSA (MATS 2.4.1.1 Note 1).

31
Q

Are aircraft operating at the vertical limits of Prohibited and Restricted areas separated from activities within those areas?

A

Yes, unless the aircraft intend to use the level between Prohibited or Restricted areas that vertically adjoin (MATS 2.4.3.2).

32
Q

When should Restricted areas classified as ‘military flying/non-flying’ be classified as ‘military flying’ for the purposes of separation? (clue: airspace description)

A

Airspace description,

  1. Does not specify activity type, or
  2. Specifies both flying and non-flying activities (MATS 2.4.3.4.4).
33
Q

What service is used to notify the activation, deactivation or amendmant of Danger, and Restricted areas times?

A

NOTAMS (MATS 2.4.4.1).

34
Q

If a Restricted or Danger area is being deactivated early, within what period of time of the published cessation is a NOTAM not required to be issued?

A

1 Hour (MATS 2.4.4.2).

35
Q

If within an hour of the published cessation time, by what means may the amended deactivation time for Restricted and Danger areas be distributed?
