5
Q

Separation in CTA

Class A:

A

VFR by ATC

7
Q

Q

RADAR Control Services

RADAR control services only exist within controlled airspace after an aircraft has been

identified.

9
Q

If the word “visual” is used in conjunction with a vector or clearance then it is assumed the pilot will take over responsibility for

.
IFR aircraft must plan in accordance with the table

A

(a) ATS is notified of the intended change of level; and
(b) if conflict occurs with an aircraft maintaining the correct standard level than the non-standard aircraft must give way by changing heading or altitude as required.

14
Q

The pilot in command of an IFR flight must notify to ATS any intention to amend route, deviate from track or change level with sufficient

Q
Traffic Information
In class G airspace (OCTA) an IFR aircraft will be provided
A

with a traffic information service only

No separation will be provided.

16
Q

Within RADAR coverage, distance, bearing and altitude information may be provided by ATS

A

to be used for sighting or avoidance.

Note: Only KNOWN or OBSERVED traffic can be issued by ATS, this means there could be unidentified, unknown traffic in the vicinity. Do not forget to see and avoid.
