VFR vertical separation from cloud in a CTR |
500ft |
|
VFR visibility beneath plane of separation |
5km |
|
VFR cloud separation beneath plane of separation |
Clear of cloud and in sight of the surface. |
|
VFR met minima at aerodromes within a CTR |
1500ft ceiling with 5km visibility, day and night for all aircraft |
|
VFR met minima at aerodromes in uncontrolled airspace |
Day: 600ft ceiling, 1500m vis. Night: 1500ft ceiling, 8km vis. |
|
What is considered a ceiling in aviation? |
The lowest level of cloud that is BKN or worse |
|
What are the 5 reqs to be granted SVFR |
An ATC clearance, must be daylight, clear of cloud, in possession of working two way radio, and met minima of 600ft ceiling/1500m vis. |
|
Does IFR receive separation service in A, C, and D? |
Yes, unless it’s daylight in class D airspace, and flights have been cleared to climb/descend whilst maintaining separation in VMC. |
|
Are IFR and VFR separated by ATC in class C airspace? |
Yes |
|
Does ATC separate IFR and SVFR ? |
Yes |
|
Does ATC provide separation between SVFR flights? |
Only if visibility is beneath 5km |
|
Does ATC provide separation at controlled aerodromes when defined runway and wake turbulence separations are applicable? |
Yes |
|
Does ATC provide separation between IFR flights in class G airspace |
No |
|
Does ATC provide separation between IFR and VFR in G airspace |
No |
|
Does ATC provide separation between IFR and VFR flights in D airspace |
No |
|
Does ATC provide separation between IFR in C and VFR in D, operating at the common airspace level? |
No |
|
Does ATC provide separation between SVFR when vis is 5km or more? |
No |
|
Does ATC provide separation between VFR flights? |
No, except at controlled aerodromes where a control service provides instructions to VFR pilots IOT prevent collisions and wake turbulence issues. |
|
When will two flights usually entitled to separation no longer be separated? |
When one or more are responding to a TCAS, GPWS, or TAWS alert. Separation services resume when the pilot announces “clear of conflict”. |
|
Minimum vertical separation from other aircraft above FL290 |
2000ft |
|
Minimum vertical separation below flight level 290 |
1000ft |
|
Will ATC vertically separate us from special use airspace such as restricted areas? |
Yes |
|
Under what circumstances must a flight adhere to NOSE guidance? |
When the flight is above the plane of separation |
|
What are the parameters for NOSE? |
270-89, and 90-269 |
