Jepp AUS Flashcards
ATC provides separation for
A . All flights
B . Between IFR flights
C . Between IFR and VFR
In what airspace categories
a. between all flights in classes A and B airspace;
b. between IFR flights in classes C, D and E airspace;
c. between IFR flights and VFR flights in Class C
What is the time window for ATC initiated FIS?
ATC initiated FIS is limited to 1 hours flight time of condition or destination at time of receipt of information by ATC.
The only exception to this is SIGMET info. which shall cover a portion of route up to 2 hours flying time ahead of aircraft.
Wind shear Call to ATC when able
A. Calls
B. When does ATC resume responsibility for clearance and separation?
“wind shear escape”
ATC shall not attempt to modify aircraft flight path until pilot reports-
“clear of wind shear”.
How do you ask for FIS info from ATC ( in all classes) ?
Pilots must prefix any request for FIS on ATC VHF frequencies with the callsign of the appropriate ATC unit and the generic callsign “FLIGHTWATCH”,
e.g. “MELBOURNE CENTRE FLIGHTWATCH REQUEST ACTUAL WEATHER (location)”
Traffic info in class G airspace
What is provided?
IFR v IFR?
IFR v VFR?
Military Jets?
- Class G airspace, a traffic information service is provided to IFR flights about other conflicting IFR
- and observed VFR flights.
MLJ flights are considered to be IFR for traffic purposes regardless of flight planned category.
Services provided may be based on ATS surveillance system data where coverage exists
Taxiing non controlled AD. What traffic info will be given?
Report inbound non controllers?
When does traffic info cease?
An IFR flight reporting taxiing or airborne at a non-controlled airport will be advised of conflicting IFR traffic which is NOT on the CTAF
An IFR flight inbound to a non-controlled airport will be advised of conflicting IFR traffic.
The ATS obligation to provide the pilot with traffic information ceases when the pilot reports changing to the CTAF
What is considered traffic in the case of arriving or departure of non controlled AD?
a. aircraft that climb, descend or operate with less than 1,000 ft vertical spacing and less than 15 NM lateral or longitudinal spacing;
b. overtaking or opposite direction aircraft on the same or reciprocal tracks with less than 1,000 ft vertical spacing and less than 10 minutes longitudinal spacing based on pilot estimates;
c. more than one aircraft arriving at, or departing from, the same aerodrome with less than 10 minutes between arrival and/or departure and falling within these guidelines.
Two airspace classes adjoin vertically
What airspace are you in if at that Level?
When ATS airspaces adjoin vertically -flights at common level must comply with less restrictive class of airspace.
Class C airspace is considered less restrictive than Class A airspace; Class D airspace is considered less restrictive than Class C airspace, etc
Which airspace only allows IFR
Class A
What lights must be operating to use an airport?
- : runway edge lighting; threshold lighting; illuminated wind sock ; obstacle lighting when specified in local procedures;
- plus taxiway lighting and apron floodlighting, all lighting to be electric
No windsock ok if approved observer gives you wind
If arranging AP lighting what times does it need to be on for;
Dept ?
Arr?
a. Departure: 10 minutes before departure -30 minutes after take-off;
b. Arrival: 30 minutes before ETA to time landing and taxiing has been completed.
If a TTF has two visibilities which one is used to asses alt criteria?
the higher visibility
PAL lighting
If using PAL you need an alternate unless?
Can a PAL Airport be an alternate?
When a flight is planned to AD with PAL and standby power, need an alternate airport unless a responsible person is in attendance to manually switch on the airport lighting.
Alternate Airports — PAL An airport may be nominated as alternate airport provided -where aircraft is RPT the alternate airport must be one which is:
a. served by a lighting system which is not pilot activated; or
b. served by PAL and there is a responsible person in attendance to manually switch on lighting
What classes of airspace do ATC provide service for IFR flts?
. To all IFR flights in classes A, B, C, D and E airspace;
Light signals to aircraft
Steady green. Ground/air
Steady red. Ground /air
Flashing green “”
Flashing red. “”
Flashing white
Green St. Authorized to land /takeoff if pilot satisfied no collision risk exists
Red sted Give way and cont circling/ stop
Flash green. Return for land- Clear taxi
Flash red. Don’t land. - Taxi clr rwy
Fl white. Return to start point on a/d
