Study Notes
Flight Information Service (FIS)
- Provides essential flight data to enhance situational awareness for pilots and air traffic control.
- Involves sharing information about weather, airspace conditions, traffic, and hazards.
Airspace Management (ASM)
- Aims to optimize airspace use for increased safety and efficiency.
- Facilitates the integration of various aircraft operations, including commercial and general aviation.
Transition Level in Altimetry
- Represents the lowest altitude in the atmosphere for safe separation between IFR and VFR flights.
- Crucial for maintaining vertical separation during flight operations.
RTF General Operating Procedures
- Establishes guidelines for communication and coordination between pilots and ATC.
- Ensures clarity in instructions to enhance safety in air traffic management.
ATC Clearances
- Essential for granting pilots permission to operate within controlled airspace.
- Ensures safe, organized traffic flow by providing takeoff, landing, and route instructions.
Coordination in Air Traffic Management
- Facilitates communication among various stakeholders (pilots, ATC, and airlines) for efficient operations.
- Necessary for changing flight plans, emergencies, and managing airspace restrictions.
Units of Measurement
- Kilogram symbol: kg
- Nautical mile (NM) equivalent: 1,852 meters
- Non-SI unit for altitude: feet
- Frequency symbol: Hz
- Kilowatt-hour symbol: kWh
- 1 minute in seconds: 60 seconds
- 1 cubic meter equals 1,000 liters
- Atmospheric pressure symbol in kilopascals: kPa
- Megahertz symbol: MHz
- Airspeed measurement 'kt' signifies knots
- RVR stands for Runway Visual Range
Time and Date
- 1 hour consists of 3,600 seconds.
- Factors in determining air traffic service include traffic volume and complexity of operations.
- Objectives of ATC service: ensuring safety, efficiency, and flow of air traffic.
- ISO 2014 date format is all-numeric; example: 2016-08-25.
- Basis for clock time: Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- ISO 3307 specifies 24-hour representation for hours.
Airspace Classes
- Class A: IFR and VFR flights; controlled service with separation.
- Class B: IFR flights separate from other IFR and traffic information for VFR.
- Class C: IFR flights receive advisory services; VFR receives flight information if requested.
- Controlled airspace in FIR/UIR regions like Madrid and Barcelona corresponds to Class C.
- Classification as controlled or uncontrolled in Spain is determined by air traffic service provision.
SI Units
- Basis of international civil aviation measurement systems: standardized units for consistency.
- SI base units are dimensionally independent and include meters, kilograms, and seconds.
- SI prefixes simplify large and small numbers for clarity; 'mega' signifies a multiplication factor of 1,000,000.
- Non-SI units should be used when explicitly accepted and defined for aviation purposes.
Additional Services
- Ground service: protects against collisions on the maneuvering area.
- Air traffic service: manages and expedite aircraft flow, prioritizing safety and efficiency.
- Visibility measurement under 5 km is critical for operational safety.
Date and Time Representation
- "25 August 2016" in all-numeric form: 2016-08-25.
- "20 minutes and 18 seconds past 3 o’clock in the afternoon": 15:20:18.
