Front 15

What is the first thought process in the event of any concern or emergency?

Back 15

ANC

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate

Front 16

Procedure if your radio fails outside controlled airspace and you're wanting to enter

Back 16

Don't enter! Remain out and arrange to enter NORDO

Front 17

Procedure if your radio fails inside control zone but outside the circuit

Back 17

Maintain VMC. Divert to nearest suitable unattended aerodrome. Otherwise execute a standard overhead rejoin to designated runway only and wait for lights

Front 18

Procedure if your radio fails inside the circuit

Back 18

Continue approach, continue transmitting as normal and watch for lights

Front 19

Is radio failure an emergency in VMC?

Back 19

No

Front 20

You are flying VFR and you have an apparent communication failure. What is the procedure? (8)

Back 20

1) ANC

2) Transponder code to 7600 (or 7700 if necessary)

3) Try alternate, then secondary ATS frequencies

4) Check equipment

5) Listen to ATIS

6) Transmit position & intentions "transmitting blind"

7) Turn on lights

8) Use a phone if available

Front 25

What are the recommendations for a listening watch in regard to TIBA airspace? (In air and on ground)

Back 25

In air: Should be maintained on TIBA frequency 10 mins before entering until leaving.

Ground: As soon as appropriate, before or after take-off.

Front 26

When should TIBA broadcasts be made? (6)

Back 26

1) 10 mins before entering TIBA airspace or as soon as appropriate before or after take-off.

2) 10 mins prior to AND crossing any reporting point

3) 10 minute intervals between reporting points

4) 10 mins prior to crossing or joining an ATS route

5) 2 to 5 mins before AND when starting + finishing changes in altitude

6) Amy other time considered necessary

Front 27

What's the deal with acknowledging TIBA broadcasts?

Back 27

Only if there's a potential collision risk
