Study Notes
AIRMET Issuance
- AIRMETs are issued for specific conditions including visibility reduction, low ceilings, and freezing fog.
International Flight Plan Requirements
- No international flight plan is necessary when flying from Canada to the USA.
Information from EFIS and ADSB Systems
- Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) provides information on heading, pitch, roll, and attitude.
- Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) includes air data, pilot information, and reference data.
Aerodynamic De-Icing
- Aerodynamic de-icing measures are effective at speeds of at least 500 knots to prevent ice accumulation.
GFA and Associated Systems
- The Graphical Area Forecast (GFA) typically indicates meteorological features such as upper troughs.
Primary Radar Functions
- Primary radar is used for detecting and tracking aircraft in the airspace without relying on transponder signals.
Factors Affecting Radio Reception
- Various factors can impact radio reception, including atmospheric conditions, terrain, and interference from other signals.
Knowledge of GNSS
- The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) provides precise positioning and timing information essential for navigation applications.
