2. 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

3. 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

4. Mostly Determined by Weather and Special Use
Airspace
Mostly Determined by Weather
and
Special Use

5. Airspace Problems ADIZ—Land and Sea Temporary Flight Restrictions
Low altitude Military Training Routes
Airspace under the Lateral Boundaries of B,C,D,E,
Published VRF Routes: VFR Flyways-
VFR Corridors
Class “B” Airspace VFR Transition Routes

6. Air Defense Identification Zones
Land Based ADIZ
Can be Activated or Deactivated over geographic areas as needed.
Report Leaving or Entering, if too Low for Radar.
A position report +/- 5mins
Flight Plan-DVFR or IFR, two way radio Transponder----Air Filed Flight Plan
Authorization to deviate from the requirements..

Class “B” Airspace VFR Transition Routes

9. Temporary Flight Restrictions
To protect persons and property in the air or on the ground.
Opens the airspace for Relief aircraft.
Normally limited to within 2,000’ agl and 3 NM radius
National Disasters for Humanitarians reasons.
Political officials
Safe environment for the Space Agency.
Hijacking and only through the local ARTCC.

11. 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.

14. Airspace and Weather Minimums For VFR
Part – (d) “No Person” may take off or land an aircraft, or enter the traffic pattern of an airport, under VFR, within the lateral boundaries of surface areas of Class B, C, D, or E airspace designated for an airport-
1) Unless ground visibility is 3 SM
(c) When the ceiling is less than 1000’
Exception is a Special VFR From ATC

17. 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

23. 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

26. Terminal Radar Service
TRSA do not fit into any of the Airspace classes
TRSA over lies a very busy Class “D” airspace.
The over lying area is class “E” from 700’ to 1200’
Voluntary.
Highly recommended that pilots participate

NSA an Area for the need for increase Security and Safety of ground facilities.
Pilots are ask to voluntarily avoid flying through these areas.
Concerns: Can temporarily become a Prohibited area.

43. Self-Announce Position and/or Intentions
Pilots stating ”Traffic in the area, please advise” is not recognized Self-Announce Position and /or intention phase and should not be used under any condition..
