ACCURATE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
◉ What is a Flight Information Region (FIR)? Answer: An airspace of
defined dimensions extending upwards from the surface of the Earth,
within which flight information service and alerting services are
provided
◉ How many Flight Information Regions in CDA? Answer: The CDA is
divided into 8 flight information regions, and 7 FIR centers.
◉ List the High-Level Controlled Airspaces Answer: Southern Control
Area (18,000' ASL and above)
Northern Control Area (FL230 and above)
Arctic Control Area (FL270 and above)
◉ Where is there uncontrolled high level airspace? Answer: From
18,000' ASL to 22,999' ASL in the Northern Control Area
From 18,000' ASL to 26,999' ASL in the Arctic Control Area
◉ How are airways identified? Answer: With a single letter plus a
number ( i.e. G1, J500, T781)
,◉ How are air routes identified? Answer: With two letters plus a
number (i.e. GG1, BR4,)
◉ Standard dimensions of low level airways? Answer: The standard
airway is 4NM each side of centre (8NM total) with additional
controlled airspace within the 4.5° drift lines.
◉ Dimensions of a low level airway between a VOR and NDB?
Answer: 4.34NM each side of centre between a VOR & NDB, with
additional controlled airspace within the 5° drift lines.
◉ Dimensions of a LF/MF airway? Answer: 4.34NM each side of centre
between an NDB & NDB, with additional controlled airspace within the
5° drift lines.
◉ Dimensions of T-routes, Low level controlled fixed RNAV routes?
Answer: The airspace associated with T-routes extends upward from 2
200 ft AGL, 10 NM either side of the centreline, and does not splay.
◉ Primary and secondary obstacle clearance of a T-route Answer: Low-
level controlled fixed RNAV routes have dimensions of 4 NM of
primary obstacle protection area, plus 2 NM of secondary obstacle
protection area on each side of the centreline.
◉ Transponder type for Class A, B and C airspace? Answer: Mode C
required.
, ◉ When is a Mode C transponder required in Class D airspace? Answer:
When specified in the Designated Airspace Handbook
◉ Standard dimensions of Class E airspace? Answer: 2,200' AGL to
12,500' ASL
◉ When is a Mode C serviceable? Unserviceable? Answer: Mode C
serviceable if within +/- 200ft
Unserviceable if +/- 300 ft or more
◉ IFR aircraft shall be provided how much vertical separation from
Class F airspace? Answer: 500' unless wake turbulence minima applies,
in which case 1000 feet vertical separation will be applied.
◉ What is a VFR restriction in an IFR clearance? Answer: ATC may
issue an IFR clearance for an aircraft to depart, climb or descend VFR
until a specified time, altitude, or location provided
(a) the pilot requests it;
(b) the aircraft is outside Class A airspace;
(c) the aircraft is within Class B airspace at or below 12 500 ft ASL or
within Class C, D or E airspace; and
(d) the weather conditions permit.
◉ What is a VFR release for IFR aircraft? Answer: When a delay is
experienced in receiving an IFR departure clearance, a pilot may request
approval to depart and maintain VFR until an IFR clearance can be
