Q

What are FIAs?

A

Flight Information Areas

18
Q

What is CTAF

A

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency

Informs pilots as to what the correct frequency is

19
Q

What is the MULTICOM

A

126.7

Used when no CTAF is available

20
Q

In what places is the carriage and use of a radio mandatory when the tower is closed

A

Class C and MIL aerodromes

21
Q

what are broadcast areas

A

areas within class G that have CTAF assigned

22
Q

What is the Surveillance Information Service

A

traffic advice on other known traffic that may conflict with your flightpath

23
Q

When should clearance into controlled airspace be given to the SIS frequency

A

5-10 min before entering the airspace

24
Q

What code letter is used for the ATIS outside of hours

25
What is FLIGHTWATCH
Gives latest weather information for a local area
26
Where MUST aircraft be radio equipped
CERT, REG or MIL
27
Are non-radio aircraft allowed to operate at a CTAF aerodrome
yes
28
In terms of AFRU, how long must no transmission have occurred for there to be a generated response
5 min
29
when is a beep triggered on the AFRU
When there was a transmission in the last 5 minutes
30
when do you have to amend you SARTIME
When you change your flight plan
31
If you need to make a distress call and there is no response after multiple attempts, what frequency should you broadcast on
121.5 (international emergency frequency)
32
what two frequencies does an analogue ELT simultaneously transmit on?
121.5 and 243 MHz
33
what frequency can a digital ELT operate on
406 MHz
34
Why does turning to the left or right sometimes help with improving radio signal
because the airframe itself can actually cause interference
35
Non-directional Beacons utilise what frequency
Low and Medium frequencies
36
Global Navigation Systems operate under what frequency
Very Low Frequency
37
why are repeater stations unsuitable for VHF
because VHF systems rely on there being only one source from one ground station
38
during the day, what can the thickness of the ionosphere be
50-500km
39
during the night, what can the thickness of the ionosphere be
100-400km
40
As a general rule for HF,the closer the station........
the lower the most suitable HF frequency
41
waves that actually travel in contact with the earths surface are known as...
surface waves
