Q

whilst cruising - where is the aircraft being flown at?

A

At Flight level and Altitude

**Flight level:
**for flights at or above the lowest useable flight level, or above transition altitude

**Altitude:
**flight below the lowest useable flight level or at / below the Transition level

Transition altitude is usually no less thant 3000 ft (depends on state)

Q

Formation flight

A

No aircraft can conduct formation flight except by arrangement of PICs

formation in controlled airspace must be in accordance to ICAO rules of air (annex 2) and ATS

manoevering/spacing/separating/joining is the responsiblity of the formation leader and the Pics

for navigation and position reporting purposes, formation operates as single aircraft

aircraft to keep min 1KM (0.5NM) lateral distance from leader

and 30m (100ft) vertical distance from leader

Q

ATC’s role in setting priority

Study These Flashcards
A

priority of landing is dictated by ATC and should be obeyed

23
Q

when not confined to a runway

Study These Flashcards
A

During landing - aircraft to pass to the right of an aircraft that just landed or about to land

During take off - aircraft move to the right to give way to aircraft about to take off

24
Q

On ground - During taxiing

Study These Flashcards
A

Head on - stop or alter course to the right

converge - the one on the right has right of way

overtaking - can overtake from any direction but stay well clear

25
On ground - vehicle operating on an apron
must give way to emergency vehicle, aircraft taxiing, about to taxi, or being towed
26
Surface movement & holding points
Holding points: An aircraft taxiing must stop at all holding points unless otherwise authorised by ATC Stop light bars: also must stop at all 'lighted' stop bars and can proceed when lights are off. If ATC autorized movement but lights are on, PIC must request clarification/confirmation from ATC.
27
Navigation lights
1) Nav lights Red - Port/Left - 110 projection Green - starboard/right - 110 projection White - Rear light 140 project (70 on each side) On during Night only On in flight and on the ground
28
Anti-collision lights
**Rotating Beacon (red or white)** * When engine is on * Manoevering * Being towed * Located on the tail *On all the time: on day and night, on ground or in flight **Strobe (white)** * Used to attract attention * Located on the wingtips near Nav lights * When on active runways when about to take off * or When crossing runways *on day and night, on ground or in flight *turn it off, when off the active runway
29
Landing lights
* Turn on when about to take off & climb, approach and land - ideally on in the traffic circuit * Used day and night, on ground or in flight * Located at front of plain (sometimes) * Might be used for conspicuity or signaling (interception signals, ATC visual communication, etc)
30
What is a Flight Plan
notification of intended flight and route to take submitted by the pic
31
submission of flight plan
1)Pic to send it to ATS **hard copy or electronically ****60 min before flight at destination aerodrome** 2)Can be s**ubmitted during the flight (not ideal) transmitted to ATS radio station** - at least **10 min before reaching an intended controled area or point of crossing an airway** ATS forwards to various ATC involved. ATC (especially for controlled airspace) can approved/reject plan
32
components of flight plan & closing/arrival report
**Flight plan:** departure and arrival points/airport estimated time en route time of arrival Whether flying IFR or VFR **Closing Flight plan** Aircraft identification departure and arrival points/airport alternative destination airports (if deviated) time of arrival
33
Flight plan for IFR or in controlled airspace
flight plan is mandatory and is treated as request for permission
34
Flight plan for VFR
not mandatory but only for crossing national borders
35
Other reasons to have a flight plan (advisable)
if flying over unfavourable or inhospitable areas or sparsely populated over large bodies of water **greater than 10NM from coast**
36
Flight plans mandatory when:
flying across international borders flying SVFR flying in designated areas or along designated routes where ATS is required to provide search/rescue/flight information
37
closing flight plan
**If ATS exists:** immediately after landing **If ATS doesn't exist**: submit to neart ATS after landing **If comm facilities are poor at destination** airport, can s**ubmit via aeronotical radio station** airborn before landing
38
can deviate from a flight plan if
clearance had been requested in case of emergency (but ATS must be informed by crew)
39
What are the 2 components of Aircraft marking
Nationality mark + registration mark
40
What is the format of the aircraft nationality marking
consist of a group of characters
41
Where is the nationality mark taken from
It's the same as the radio call sign allocated to the state of registry by the ITU ITU - International telecomm union
42
Registration mark
Letters and/or numbers if 1st character is a letter then it must be prceded by a hypern
43
who assigns the registration mark
State of register
44
where are the marks located and in what size?
Fuselage = 30 cm under the wings = 50 cm
45
what are limitation when selecting an aircraft marketing
cannot use marks that can be confused with the international code signals like ones that: Start with Q SOS, PAN, XXX, TTT
46
Certificate of Registration
Nationality mark Registration mark aircraft plate #
47
what is a common mark
when an aircraft operator operates in multiple countries and has multiple country of registrations - they use a 'Common mark' instead of a nationalty mark.
48
who assigns the common mark?
ITU assigns common mark but ICAO specifies which state will act as state of registry
49
What is the state in charge of when it comes to air worthiness
1) in charge of issuing Airworthiness certificate 2) in charge of reporting any defects, malfunctions, etc that can cause adverse effects on the airworthiness of the aircraft 3) Advise the "state of design" if a type is added to its registers 4) determine the continued airworthiness of an aircraft 5) determine the inspection period to ensure the continued validity of the airworthiness certificate
50
Airworthiness certficate contains:
Aircraft nationality & Registration mark Aircraft manufacturer and manufacturing model aircraft serial # issuance date Notes/validity Airworthiness review certificate
51
Aircraft damage in a state other than state of registry
- The other state has the right to now allow the damaged aircraft to resume its flights - the other state can position the damaged aircraft to fly (without passengers) to repari faciity **in both cases, the other state must advise/seek permission from the state of registry **
52
Annex 2 and 11 purpose is:
purpose is to **ensure safe flight over territories and high seas** **over high seas,** * annex 2 is applied without exceptions * * but some provisions of Annex 11 might be applied
53
SERA
**Standardized European Rules of Air** **incorporates ICAO SARPS and notes deviations** to **create one common rules of air** - that applies to: * Within europe * to all eurpean registered aircraft whever they are, as long as SERA doesn't conflict with local laws * to all ATS, on ground aircraft operations and competent authorities
54
collision avoidance
pilot responsible must **make collision avoidance manoevers based** on advises from **ACAS equipment**
