thanks to david keyser…IT Corporate Seminar FAA Guidance on Icing Bird Strikes Airspace Tom Evans thanks to david keyser…IT

FAA Icing Guidance and Temperature. 1. In the Past FAA’s defines Icing as Moisture and Temperature. 2. A violation if in a non-approved Icing plane…. 3. Now Ice must be present… 4. No action on cautious pilots who accidentally.. Case by case 5. Reasonable and Prudent Behavior 6. Violations for those that have a callous disregard for conditions … 7. “All available information”….due diligence

Bird Strikes 75% of Bird Strikes Occur at or below 500 agl Takeoffs and Landings account for 41% of Strikes 90% occur near airports Avoidance: Check departure leg for flocks Climb thru 3000’ agl as quickly as possible A 2 pound can create an impact force 2.8 tons A bird 12 to 15 # can impart 60 tons at 350kts (120,000) Same bird 30 tons at 260 kts (52,000) Stay on the slow side of climb if birds are present .. Constant Attitude. Only 20 to 30% of the strikes are reported…. Billion $ Damage

Low Altitude Training Routes Low level training exercise speeds in excess of 250 kts IFR designated by “IR”. VFR designated by “VR” Military Training Routes : Below 1500’ 4 numbers - IR 1206…VR 1207 Above 1500’ 3 numbers – IR 206… VR 207 Contact Flight Service or Local authority. Flights permitted but use Extreme vigilance. Flight Planning for these areas are a must.

VFR Flyways Maybe Heavily Congested with many types of AC. A General Flight Path, not a Specific course. For Planning Flights into, out of, through or near “B” Clearance not Required Can Extend to the Ground Not Sterile of Traffic, VFR rules apply ….See and Avoid… Concerns: Over flying airports with Control Towers

VFR Transition Routes Accommodates VFR traffic through very heavy traffic areas in “B”. Must have a clearance to enter A Heading, Altitude, Speed change, Squawk code, does not constitute a Clearance. Must comply with ATC instruction and Fly the Route depicted. Altitudes a must because of opposing traffic Cross runways mid field
