  1. Radio Communication and Procedures pt 2

  2. Control Zones Designated airspace around certain aerodromes to facilitate the control of VFR and IFR traffic • Usually a 5 NM radius, 3,000’ AGL • VFR weather limits are higher • SVFR may be requested in some zones • Most zones designated as class D

  3. Obstacle Clearance Circle

  4. Displaced Threshold

  5. Control Zone in a Terminal Area is normally 7nm radius

  6. VFR Weather Minima

  7. SVFR -Special VFR • Authorization obtained from the appropriate ATC unit allows you to fly: -within a control zone, -in IFR weather conditions, -without an IFR clearance -has to be requested by the pilot 1 mile for aircraft ½ mile for helicopters -working radio -clear of cloud, in sight of ground at night, only to allow the aircraft to land

  8. CIRCUIT JOINING@ ATF

  9. CIRCUIT JOINING @ MF

  10. CAVOKKAV-OH-KAY • No cloud below 5,000 feet, no cumulonimbus • Visibility of 6 SM or more • No precipitation, thunderstorms, shallow fog or drifting snow

  11. EMERGENCY • Declared • Apparent • Transponder 7700 • Radio 121.5 Mhz • 243.0 Mhz

  12. EMERGENCY • Mayday or Pan Pan 3 times • On air to ground frequency in use • Name of station addressed • Aircraft identification • Nature of distress/emergency • Intentions of PIC • Position, altitude and heading

  13. EMERGENCY • Communication failure 7600 • Unlawful interference 7500 • If dual VHF then monitor 121.5 is suggested in AIP SAR 4.2 • Radar alerting manoeuvres RONLY NORDO

  14. Some Types of Distress MAYDAY Urgency PAN PAN Safety Security National Security CIRVIS

  15. ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter • SAR Search and Rescue • SARSAT & COSPAS Search and Rescue Satellites • Test ELT – first 5 minutes of hour, no more than 5 seconds • In error – call 121.5, 126.7 or HF5680khz • MANOT Missing aircraft Notice

  16. ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter • A Automatic ejectable • AD Automatic Deployable • F Fixed • AF Automatic Fixed • AP Automatic Portable – integral antenna • P Personnel • W or S Water activated or Survival

  17. Baron ELT activation switch

  18. C 172 ELT activation switch

  19. ELT behind cargo compartment

  20. ELT antenna & position placard

  21. VHF Direction Finding Service • Provides directional assistance • An aid in times of difficulty • SVFR aircraft will not be given VDF steers • Provided when requested by the pilot, or suggested by the VDF operator and accepted by the pilot

  22. Communication Problems • Stuck mike • Two on at once • Radio failure -out of the zone -entering the zone -in the circuit • NORDO • RONLY

  23. Communication Failures(602.138) Where there is a two-way radio communication failure between the ATC unit and a VFR aircraft while operating in Class B, C, or D airspace, the PIC shall: • leave the airspace • where the airspace is a control zone, by landing at the aerodrome for which the control zone is established • in any other case, by the shortest route

  24. Communication Failures(602.138) Where there is a two-way radio communication failure between the ATC unit and a VFR aircraft while operating in Class B, C, or D airspace, the PIC shall: • squawk 7600 on the transponder (if the aircraft is equipped with one) • inform ATC (as soon as possible) of the actions taken

  25. Emergency Radio Capability(602.143) No person shall operate an aircraft equipped with two-way VFR radio communication equipment unless it is capable of providing communication on VHF frequency 121.50 MHz.

  26. Interception Signals(602.114) No person shall give an interception signal or an instruction to land except: • a peace officer, an officer of police authority or an officer of the Canadian Forces • a person authorized to do so by the Minister

  27. Light Gun Signals - FLIGHT

  28. Light Gun Signals - GROUND

  29. Transponder

  30. VFR Transponder Operation • 12,500’ and below – 1200 • Above 12,500’ – 1400 • Emergency – 7700 • Other codes assigned by TRSA or a tower “Squawk 5670” “Ident” “Squawk standby” • Turn to standby when re-selecting a code

  31. Wake Turbulence -light -medium -heavy Intersecting Runways -sequential -simultaneous -intersection take-off

  32. Flight Priority • First come, first served -Emergency -MEDEVAC -SAR -Military aircraft -VIP’s

  33. Conversion Tables/Factors • CFS part one • AIP GEN 1-12 and 1-13 • US gal to litres 3.785 • Stat miles to naut miles 0.868 • Roughly 70 to 60 • Kilograms to pounds 2.205 • Naut miles to kilometres 1.852

  34. ESCAT Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic Plan ESCAT Test “This is an ESCAT test. All aircraft will acknowledge this message and continue normal operation.”
