What should an intercepted aircraft do to indicate that the aerodrome designated is inadequate?
NIGHT-Flashing landing lights while passing over landing runway at a height exceeding 300m (1,000 ft) but not exceeding 600m (2,000 ft) above the aerodrome level, and continuing to circle the aerodrome. If unable to flash landing lights, flash any other lights available. Aerodrome you have designated is inadequate.
How are restricted and prohibited airspace depicted on a sectional chart?
The area is charted as a “P” followed by a designation number [Figure 1/2] Prohibited Airspace is depicted on aeronautical charts, to include: VFR sectionals and IFR en-route low altitude charts. Details about specific prohibited areas are available on the side of the corresponding sectional chart [Figure 3]
Where can I find information about restricted airspace?
Permanent restricted areas are charted on Sectional Aeronautical, VFR Terminal Area, and the appropriate En Route charts.
How will an intercepting aircraft signals your aircraft?
Interception Signals. DAY-Rocking wings from a position slightly above and ahead of, and normally to the left of, the intercepted aircraft and, after acknowledgement, a slow level turn, normally to the left, on to the desired heading. NIGHT-Same and, in addition, flashing navigational lights at irregular intervals.
What action if any is appropriate if the pilot though not deviating from FAR Part 91 is given priority by ATC in an emergency?
(d) Each pilot in command who (though not deviating from a rule of this subpart) is given priority by ATC in an emergency, shall submit a detailed report of that emergency within 48 hours to the manager of that ATC facility, if requested by ATC.
What is restricted airspace?
Restricted or “special use” airspace is for certain areas where drones and other aircraft are not permitted to fly without special permission, or where limitations must be imposed for any number of reasons. Drone pilots should be familiar with:
How does ATC deal with aircraft flying in restricted airspace?
For the latter categories, the ATC facility will issue a clearance so the aircraft will avoid the restricted airspace unless it is on an approved altitude reservation mission or has obtained its own permission to operate in the airspace and so informs the controlling facility.
How does the FAA establish temporary flight restrictions?
The FAA accepts recommendations for the establishment of a temporary flight restrictions area under 14 CFR Section 91.137 (a) (1) from military major command headquarters, regional directors of the Office of Emergency Planning, Civil Defense State Directors, State Governors, or other similar authority.
What are the different types of restrictions on drone flights?
1 Prohibited areas. Airspace where aircraft flight, including drones, is prohibited. 2 Restricted Areas. Restricted areas are where operations are hazardous to you and your drone flying in the vicinity. 3 Temporary Flight Restrictions ( TFRs) Temporary hazardous conditions, such as a wildfire, hurricane, or chemical spill.
