While operating in Class C, aircraft must be equipped for two-way radio communication, and the pilot must maintain a continuous listening watch. Transponders are required with Mode C (altitude encoding) capability. Class C airspace reverts to Class-E status when ATC services are not provided....
Queensland-based Aviation Safety Advisor Rob Whittle says the booklet provides very useful information about aerodromes and airspace in the region. ‘We encourage pilots to make the guide a part of their preflight planning,’ he says. ‘However, before flying to or around Cairns or Townsville, ...
This a huge bonus for flight training, meaning you will train in a real air traffic environment. We now have a system to allow for private hire of suitably qualified and endorsed recreational pilots to fly in Class D airspace. Student ground training is conducted in our air-conditioned ...
In 2011, airports and airline companies on the Chinese mainland reported 1,538 bird strikes, which cost 113.3 million yuan in financial losses. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the body that supervises air sports, has ...
Overall, understand that you cannot operate in Class C Airspace (e.g., the Vancouver Terminal Control Area or Langley Airport) without a clearance from the controller; simultaneously, however, the controllers are there to facilitate your movement. The result is that pilots must make “requests”...
It is important to highlight that this work is developed based on the assumption that the UAS will operate in the class G airspace (500 ft and below) in urban areas where the UAS are exposed to various obstacles such as static objects: high-rise buildings, trees, lamp posts, over-...
Since we operate in Honolulu Class Bravo airspace, we use specific departures designed to keep us clear of the fixed-wing traffic. For example, the Shoreline 6 departure keeps us at or below 500 feet as we fly over the lagoon south until we reach Magic Island, where we clear the terminal...
In the development of a blended wing body (BWB) planform for low-speed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), the present design approach relies on rather cost-effective fidelity tools in aerodynamic modeling and testing. This enables efficient analysis management of the huge parametric studies from airfoi...
airspace. Make both points explicitly clear in your application: you want access to all uncontrolled airspace, but not Class B, C, D, or E airspace. This can be written as the answer to a question, such as: “In what class of airspace will operations conducted under this waiver occur...
s airspace to the north, we were cleared to climb to FL 340 almost without interruption. A straight-line speed run demonstrated a top mark during our test of 0.53 Mach or 316 ktas at ISA +8 Celsius—the E1000GXhits its sweet spot in speed around FL 260, but this still impressed me...
