27
Q

This is a volume of controlled airspace, normally around an airport, which extends from the surface to a specified upper limit, established to protect air traffic operating to and from that airport

A

Control Zones

28
Q

An airspace of defined dimensions established around an aerodrome for the protection of aerodrome traffic

A

Aerodrome Traffic Zones

29
Q

This is an uncontrolled airspace of defined dimensions extending from the surface of the earth within which air traffic services, except Air Traffic Control, are available.

A

Aerodrome Advisory Zonw

30
Q

This is the designation for airspace in which certain activities must be confined, or where limitations may be imposed on aircraft operations that are not part of those activities

A

Special Use Airspace or Special Area of Operation (SAO)

31
Q

What do SAO’s usually consist of?

A
  • Prohibited areas
  • Restricted areas
  • Warning areas
  • Military operation areas (MOAs)
  • Alert areas
  • Controlled firing areas (CFAs)
32
Q

These contain airspace of designed dimensions, above the land areas of territorial waters within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare

A

Prohibited Areas

33
Q

An airspace of defined dimensions, above the land areas or territorial waters, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions.

A

Restricted Area

34
Q

These are areas where operations is subject to restrictions. Limitations may be imposed upon aircraft operations that are not part of those activities, or both

A

Restricted Area

35
Q

The purpose of such areas is to warn nonparticipating pilots of the potential danger

A

Warning areas

36
Q

They consist of airspace with defined vertical and lateral limits established for the purpose of separating certain military training activities from IFR traffic

A

Military Operation Areas (MOAs)

37
Q

They are depicted on sectional, VFR terminal area, and en route low altitude charts and are not numbered

A

Military Operation Areas (MOAs)

38
Q

They contain activities that, if not conducted in a controlled environment ,could be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. Activities must be suspended when a spotter aircraft, radar, or ground lookout position indicates an aircraft might be approaching the area

A

Controlled Firing Areas (CFAs)

39
Q

These are depicted on aeronautical charts with an “A” followed by a number to inform nonparticipating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity

A

Alert Areas

40
Q

Pilots should exercise caution in this area. All activity within this area shall be conducted in accordance with regulations, without waiver, and pilots of participating aircraft, as well as pilots transiting the area, shall be equally responsible for collision avoidance

A

Alert Areas

41
Q

Two types of airports

A

Towered and Non-Towered

42
Q

This has an operating control tower. Pilots are required to maintain two-way radio communication with ATX and to acknowledge and comply with their instructions

A

Towered Airports

43
Q

This does not have an operating control tower. Two-way radio communications are not required, although it is a good operating practice for pilots to transmit their intentions on the specified frequency for the benefit of other traffic in the area

A

Non-Towered Airports

44
Q

This is a frequency designated for the purpose of carrying out airport advisory practices while operating to or from an airport without an operating control tower

A

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)

45
Q

These are airports owed by the government which are classified by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) as International Airport, Principal or Domestic Airports (Class 1 or Class 2), Community Airports

A

Classified Airports

46
Q

These are airports capable of handling international flights and have border control facilities

A

Community Airports

54
Q

The various civilian aerodromes (airports, airfields, airstrips and seaplane terminals) that are owned and operated by individuals, corporations, or local governments

A

Unclassified Aerodromes

55
Q

What are the four common sources of information for pilots?

A
  • Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP)
  • Aeronautical Charts
  • Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs)
  • Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS)
56
Q

This is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as a publication issued by or with the authority of a state and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air navigation

A

Aeronautical Information Publication (or AIP)

57
Q

In the Philippines, this is the basic aeronautical information document published for the country that contains permanent information essential to air navigation within the Philippine Flight Information Region

A

Aeronautical Information Publication (or AIP)

58
Q

These provide specific information on airports. The charts contain excerpts such as symbols, legends and other information, which provide guidance on airports

A

Aeronautical Charts

59
Q

Time-critical aeronautical information, which is of a temporary nature or not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication, on aeronautical charts or in other operational publications receives immediate dissemination by the system.

A

Notices to Airmen (NOTAM)

60
Q

These include such information as taxiway and runway closures, construction, communications, change in status of navigational aids, and other information essential to planned en route, terminal, or landing operations

A

NOTAMs

61
Q

This is a recording of the local weather conditions and other pertinent non-control information broadcast on a local frequency in a looped format. It is normally updated once per hour but is updated more often when changing local conditions warrant

A

Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS)

62
Q

Important Information is broadcast on this including weather, runways in use, specific ATC procedures, and any airport construction activity that could affect taxi planning. When it is recorded, it is given a code- Information Alpha, Bravo and so on. This code is changed with every update

A

Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS)

63
Q

A defined area on land aerodrome intended to accommodate an aircraft for purposes of loading or unloading passengers, mail or cargo, fueling, parking or maintenance.

A

APRON or RAMP

64
Q

Any parking area within the protected area of an airport. A closed structure to hold aircraft and/or spacecraft in protective storage

A
