Control Zone

Back 4

A controlled airspace extending upwards from the surface of the earth to a specified upper limit.

Civil CTR: Class C and D

Military CTR: Class C

Front 5

Back 5

A controlled airspace extending upwards from a specified limit above the earth.

Front 6

Aeronautical Information Service (AIS)

Back 6

The AIS is responsible for the collection, collation and dissemination of aeronautical information relating to the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation within the areas covered.

Front 7

State Aircraft

Back 7

State aircraft are any that are military, police, customs etc. Also foreign state aircraft must give five days notice and apply to enter our airspace.

Front 8

Danger Area

Back 8

An airspace of defined dimensions, above land or water within state boundaries (12NM), which present a possible danger to aircraft

Front 9

Restricted area

Back 9

An airspace of defined dimensions, above land or water boundaries of the state, within which the flight of the aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specific conditions.

• RA1: pilots my flight plan through; expect a clearance
• RA2: no flight planning but may be offered a clearance
• RA3: no planning and no clearances available

Front 10

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)

Back 10

A designated frequency in which pilots make positional broadcasts when operating within the vicinity of an uncontrolled aerodrome. Default is 126.7 however ERSA should be consulted for possible changes for different aerodromes.

Front 11

Certified Air/Ground Services (CA/GRS) - say "caggerus"

Back 11

An aerodrome based radio service aimed to provide information to pilots at non-controlled aerodromes.

Front 12

Due regard aircraft

Back 12

Aircraft that go due regard are ones that look after themselves. Must inform other ATS, however you don't have to separate them from other aircraft.

Front 13

Calculating Restricted Area Upper Limit (RAUL) - NON flying

Back 13

1. Add elevation of highest point on the ground to the planned height to determine the Activity Altitude/Level
2. In the standard pressure region (above 10,000 ft) ad a Pressure Variation Buffer (PVB) of 1000ft
3. Add Instrument/Pilot Tolerance (I/PT) buffer of 500ft below FL290 and 1000ft above FL290

Front 14

Calculating Restricted Area Upper Limit (RAUL) - flying

Back 14

1. Add a Standard Flying Activation Buffer (SFAB) of 500ft below FL290 and 1000ft above it.
2. Add Instrument/Pilot Tolerance (I/PT) buffer of 500ft below FL290 and 1000ft above FL290
