What are the VFR cruising altitude? Are they based on true track or magnetic track? |
They start at 300 AGL: East 000 dgrees to 179 degrees = odd thousands +500 feet West 180 degrees to 359 degrees = even thousands +500 feet In the southern domestic airspace they are based on magnetick track and in the northern domestic airspace they are based on true track. |
|
What are hte regulations for flying over open water? |
When beyond gliding distance from land, life jackets are required. For single engine aircraft beyond 100 NM life rafts are requires (CAR 602.02) |
|
What id the difference between controlled and uncontrolled airspace? |
Controlled airspace: airspace within which air traffic control service is provided and within some or all aircraft be subject to air traffic control. There is no air traffic control in uncontrolled airspace. |
|
What are the weather VFR minima? |
Control zone: 3 SM vis, 1 mile horizontally and 500 feet vertically Uncontrolled above 1000: 1 SM vis at day and 3 SM vis at night horizontally 2000 feet and 500 feet feet vertically Uncontrolled under 1000: 2 SM vis at day and 3 SM vis at night and clear of clouds |
|
Class A airspace |
FL 180 to 600 in SDA, FL 230 to 600 in Northern Control Area, and FL 270 to 600 in Artic Control Area. IFR flights only and altimeter is set to 29.92
|
|
Class B airspace |
Flights between 12500 and FL 180. IFR and controlled VFR are allowed in this airspace. Altimeters are set to local station and mode C transponder required |
|
Class C airspace |
Airspace around an airport described as terminal control area and control zones. IFR and VFR are permitted but VFR requires clearance from ATC. 2 way radio and mode C transponder required. Class turns to class E when ATC is not in service. |
|
Class D airspace |
Airspace around an airport described as terminal control area and control zones. IFR and VFR are permitted but VFR must establish a 2 way radio communication with AT. |
|
Class E airspace |
Airspace around an airport described as terminal control area and control zone. Also exists at designated airport without an ATC. There is no special requirement for VFR traffic |
|
Class F airspace |
Airspace that could either be advisory or restricted. Requires permission to enter. |
|
Class G airspace |
Every other airspace that is not A B C D or E |
|
To what class of airspace do low-level airways belong? |
Class E up to 12500 and class b from 12500 to 18000 |
|
What is the base of low-level airways? How wide are they? |
From 2200 AGL. They are usually 8 NM wide |
|
Do VFR flights need permission to enter class E airspace? |
They do not require permission |
|
You intend to fly at 800 AGL in class G. What are the min weather requirements? |
2 SM vis at day, 3 SM vis at night, clear of clouds |
|
What is the major difference between class e and class g airspace? |
Class E: Weather minima are higher and ATC may exercise authority. Class G: Weather minima are lower and ATC has no authority |
|
Can you fly though class F airspace? |
Yes if it is advisory or else no if its restricted |
|
Why is it considered good practice to obtain current weather info to the west and northwest of the area of your cross country? |
Weather system generally move west to east so there is a good chance that the weather west of the area will move in your area. It is also a way to to see if the GFA and TAF are accurate.
|
|
What is the scale of a VNC and VTA map? |
1:500 000 1:250 000 |
|
How do you know if your VNC, VTA charts are valid? How can you check if changes have occurred to the charts since they went into print? |
TC AIM subscribers are sent a circular detailing current Canadian aeronautical charts. Any changes to VFR charts are listed in the CFS section C |
|
Name three methods that you can use to get back on track |
-Visual method -Double angle method -Opening and closing angle |
|
Name the three different type of "set heading" procedures. |
-Overhead departure -Geographic point procedure -En route climb |
|
What id the difference between MF and ATF? |
ATF is designated for active uncontrolled aerodromes to ensure all radio-equipped aircraft are listening on a common frequency MF is used at selected uncontrolled aerodromes or at uncontrolled between certain hours. MF area are used where the traffic volume and mix of aircraft traffic are such that there would be a safety benefit derived from implemeting a MF procedure. |
|
What are the requirements for SVFR |
1 SM vis and clear of clouds |
|
If you are unsure of runway conditions at your destination, what could you do? |
Check for NOTAM that may have been issued and contact the airport operator |
|
How do you obtain a DF steer? |
First check on the CFS or the aerodrome data box on your chart to see if DF steers are available then contact the appropriate agency to request DF steers |
|
How do you know if your CFS is current? |
The front cover displays validity dates |
|
What does pressure altitude mean? On what altitude are most performance charts based? |
Altitude corrected for non-standard pressure. Most performance charts are based on the pressure altitude |
|
Define IAS, CAS, and TAS |
Indicated: what you read on instrument Calibrated: IAS corrected for instrument and position error True: CAS corrected for non-standard pressure and temperature |
|
What is variation? |
The angle between the true meridian and the magnetic meridian |
|
What is deviation? |
The angle through which the compass needle is deflected from the magnetic meridian, Major cause of the error is the magnetic field generated by the metal in airframes. |
|
What are the minimum fuel requirements for day and night VFR? |
Day: to destination +30 minutes at normal cruising speed Night: to destination +45 minutes at normal cruising speed |
|
What is the difference between a flight plan and itinerary? |
Plans are filed with ATC, FIC, FSS. They have to be closed as soon as you land or SAR will be sent out after one hour of not calling in. Itinerary are filed with a responsible person. You have to report arrival asap or else SAR will be conducted after 24 hours after ETA |
|
When are you required to file a flight plan? |
When going more then 25 NM from |
