Study Notes

Class F Airspace Overview

Class F airspace has defined horizontal and vertical dimensions and is effective for specified periods.
It can be classified as restricted, advisory, military operations, danger areas, or a combination of both.

Characteristics of Class F Airspace

Activities within Class F airspace are confined to specific operations, imposes limitations on aircraft operations.
It is categorized into advisory areas and restricted areas, which may be controlled, uncontrolled, or a mixture of both.

Advisory Area Details

Advisory areas have a defined floor in uncontrolled airspace and a ceiling in controlled airspace, affecting weather minima regulations.
ATC requires vertical or lateral separation between IFR or CVFR aircraft and the outer edges of Class F airspace.

Airspace Alerts

In case of a loss of separation from Class F Restricted airspace, ATC issues an airspace alert with instructions to act "IMMEDIATELY."
Alerts are crucial to informing pilots about the presence of activities in Class F advisory airspace, which they need to be aware of for safety.

IFR Clearance and Separation

IFR aircraft typically cannot be cleared through Class F airspace unless permission from the user agency is confirmed, or an altitude reservation is in place.
Minimum vertical separation for IFR or CVFR aircraft from active Class F advisory airspace is 500 feet; if wake turbulence separation is required, it increases to 1,000 feet.

Communication and Monitoring

Pilots are encouraged to monitor frequencies and communicate intentions when entering or exiting Class F advisory airspace.
For uncontrolled Class F advisory airspace, the appropriate frequency to use is 126.7 MHz.

Identification of Restricted and Advisory Areas

Each restricted and advisory area in Canada has a unique identification code consisting of:
- Nationality letters (CY)
- A letter indicating area type (R for restricted, D for danger, A for advisory)
- A three-digit number for identification
- Additional letters for activity type in advisory areas.
