- 1VFR flight may only be conducted:a In VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions), as described in the table on in section 6, page 3 of 6.
b By reference to the ground or water when flying at or below 2000 feet above the ground or water.
c At sub-sonic speeds. - 2Position fixing:When navigating by reference to (in sight of) the ground or water, a pilot must be able to positively fix the aircraft’s position by visual reference to features shown on the map at intervals not exceeding 30 minutes.
- 3Controlled airspace include..?Classes A, C, D and E airspace
- 4Uncontrolled airspace include?Class G airspace
- 5VMC conditions exist whenthe visibility, and distance from cloud, both horizontal and vertical, are at or greater than the minimums laid down.
- 6All VFR flight shall be planned at levels selected in accordance with thehemispherical / semicircular rule.
- 7When the magnetic track is between 000ºM and 179ºM, the level selected shall beodd thousands plus 500 feet. ie 1,500´, 3,500´, 5,500´, 7,500´ etc.
- 8When the magnetic track is between 180ºM and 359ºM, the level selected shall beeven thousands plus 500 feet. ie 2,500´, 4,500´, 6,500´, 8,500´ etc.
- 9VFR flights conducted at or above 5,000 feet amsl are required to cruise at thehemispherical/semicircular rule
- 10When flying VFR below 5,000 feethemispherical/semicircular rule whnever practical (possible)
- 11a A VFR flight must not depart from an aerodrome beforefirst light (BOD – Beginning of Daylight)
- 12A VFR flight must not land at an aerodrome afterlast light (EOD - End of Daylight)
- 13A VFR aircraft must plan to land at a destination or alternate at least10 minutes before the end of daylight
- 14Altimeter uses a subscale which scales the Altitude. THis subscale is measured in...?hPa
- 15The aerodrome (local) QNH may be obtained from theATIS or from ATC (Air Traffic Control).
- 16When the local QNH is set, the altimeter shows theapproximate elevation of the aerodrome AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level). The reading will not be exact unless ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conditions are present at the time.
- 17If taking off from a non-towered aerodrome where no ATIS is available,the altimeter can be adjusted to read the aerodrome elevation. The subscale will then indicate the approximate local QNH,
- 18Local QNH is set whenflying in the vicinity of an airport.
- 19When the aircraft is on the ground, the altimeter shows the (QNH)approximate elevation of the aerodrome AMSL (above mean sea level). (Aircraft ‘A’)
- 20When the aircraft is flying in the circuit area the altimeter shows (QNH)the height of the aircraft above mean sea level. (Aircraft ‘B’)
- 21QFE definitionThis is the pressure recorded on the surface of an aerodrome.
- 22When QFE is set on the sub-scale, the altimeter will readheight above the aerodrome.
- 23When parked, taxiing or on the runway the altimeter will read (QFE)zero ft
- 24When QFE is set, vertical distance is referred to asheight
- 25When QNH is set, vertical distance is referred to asaltitude
- 26QNE definitionStandard Sea Level Pressure
1013.2 hPa - 27Transition Layer PurposeTo separate aircraft flying on QNH (up to 10,000 feet) and aircraft flying a Standard Pressure of 1013.2 hPa, the Transition Layer is used.
- 28The lower limit of the layer of Transition Layer is called theTransition Altitude and is always at 10,000ft
- 29The upper limit of the layer of Transition Layer is called theTransition Level and is at FL 110
(Flight Level 110) - 30The space between the transition altitude and the Transition Level is called theTransition Layer.
- 31Are aircraft permitted to cruise in the transition layer?No
- 32High up Aircraft above Transition Level use?QNE
- 33Low aircraft below transition altitude use?local QNH or Area QNH
