• Pre-Flight Information

  • Check Restricted Airspace (temporary) / RA(T) +44 08085 354802
  • Check Meterology,
    • guidance cloud ceiling (BKN / OVC) of 1500 FT AGL require special attention
    • VFR Minima Class G below 3000 FT (clear of cloud, visi of 1500 m.), however VFR with less of 5 KM is not recommended
    • VFR below 1000 FT AGL its suitable for circuit or familiar area
• Route or area of operation
  • Plan to fly as high as possible
    • Randomisation of cruising level or select 3200 FT instead of 3500 FT
    • Safety margin to add 500 / 1000 FT in sensible area (busy traffic)
    • Safety altitude below which not to descend due to weather
    • VFR cruising levels
  • Avoid infringements
    • Close to controlled airspace contact ATS
    • Détermine Altitude not above (or below) to avoid infringing
    • Request transit controlled airspace (ATZ) 10 min. prior to the boundary, crossing 90° and a few miles of runway and have a plan B
  • Aerodrome planning
    • Prior permission by telephone is required
    • Level of ATS provided
    • Procedure to follow and surface conditions (wind direction !)
    • Noise abatement procedure

  • Mass, balance and performance
    • Performance on AD at present time (TKO / LDG / Crosswind / Surface)

    • FPL should be filled 60 minutes before OBT
    • FPL activation or closure via ATSU or FIS

    • FPL Helpdesk
  • Rules
    • Low flying and congested areas (do not fly over 500 FT to any person, vessels, vehicle or structure)
    • In the event of an engine failure, single engine aircraft should be able to glide clear of any congested areas. You should not rely on being able to land in parks or other open spaces within congested areas, since there may be people on them
    • When two aircraft are approaching an aerodrome for landing, the one at a lower heights shall have priority. This rule should not be used to cut in front of another aircraft that is already established onAirspace
  • VFR
    • Class CDEG : ERA minima (visi 5 km / cloud 1500 m horizontal / 1000 FT vertical)
    • Class G : below 3000 FT (clear of cloud / visi 5 km / in sight of surface)
    • Do not enter / TKO / LDG within CTR / ATZ when cloud ceiling less than 1500 FT AGL or visibility less than 5 km
    • In UK, there is no requirement for VFR flights to fly at VFR Cruise level
  • SVFR
    • Clear of cloud and sight of surface, min. cloud ceiling 600 FT
    • when assessing a SFVR clearance for an AD without meteorological report, take in account the conditions reported to a parent airport
  • Classification
    • Controlled C & D : VFR with clearance and basic or traffic service
    • Controlled Class E : only in Scotland (without VFR clearance)
    • Uncontrolled G : VFR with basic or traffic service
  • ATZ / MATZ
    • Watch OPS hours & Listening ATIS to know ATSU / FISO in activity 
    • Sometimes you may wish to cross an ATZ during enroute flight (for example the cloud base may prevent flight above the vertical limit of the ATZ). It is perfectly acceptable to cross an ATZ provided you announce your intentions or gain permission (if there is an air traffic control service provided within it) and do not cut across circuit traffic. Ideally, any transit should be done above circuit height. If you are unsure as to whether you can avoid traffic already in the ATZ, fly around instead
    • To cross a MATZ you should contact the assigned frequency prior to entry and request a “MATZ penetration service” with your proposed route. If there is no response from the assigned frequency after two attempts you may enter with caution
  • Zone / Area
    • Transponder mandatory zone
    • Radio mandatory zone
    • Prohibited area (No VFR)
    • Restricted area (VFR restriction)
    • You should never overfly a glider site below the specified winch launch altitude. You may encounter a vertical winch cable
    • AIAA (intense activity)
    • Sector with Instrument approche (avoid to cross at the IAP's Altitude)
    • Military low flying system (VFR recommend to fly over 1000 FT AGL)
  • Controlled airspace
    • The key message on controlled airspace is that if it appears advantageous and sensible to do so, confidently request a transit. If not, plan a route that minimises the risk of infringement.
  • Transponder use
    • Squwak 7000 VFR
  • Altimeter Setting
    • Regional pressure setting (ENR 6 of the AIP)
• Aerodrome operation
  • Safety com 135.475 for AD without assigned FREQ
  • Standard ist Left Hand circuit with blind call
  • Plan to arrival : identified runway in user, determine circuit direction and how to join, confirmed the circuit altitude and QNH
  • Joining procedure recommended is "overhead", caution of Airspace / Traffic contraints or use the "joining circuit at crosswind leg"
  • At an aerodrome with a FISO unit you must request taxi instructions before taxiing. FISO to Holding point Runway (Hot Spot) at which the service reverse to information only (no clearance)

Air Traffic services outside controlled Airspace

Exemple of typical Radio Exchange

• Who you are and what you want– callsign, aircraft type and request;
• What you are doing – point of departure and destination, route or area of operation and/or intentions;
• Where you are– position and altitude/level. Use a reference point such as a major town or aerodrome, that the controller will be able to identity; and
• What you want– for example a ‘Basic Service’ or a controlled airspace transit.

Aerodrome Operation

• SafetyCom – callsign ‘Traffic’ : Blind Transmission on 135.475MHz
• Air/Ground radio – callsign ‘Radio’ : The radio operator has no power to issue clearances or instruct aircraft either in the air or on the ground.
• Aerodrome flight information service – callsign ‘Information’ : issue mandatory instructions to aircraft and vehicles on the ground, up until aircraft pass a runway holding point. AFIS units do not issue instructions to aircraft in the air
• Aerodrome control service – callsign ‘Tower’ : Within the ATZ, compliance with their instructions both on the ground and in the air is mandatory
• Aerodrome approach control service – callsign ‘Approach’ : Approach Control Service may be provided at an aerodrome either inside or outside controlled airspace.

Position reports are to be made as follow

• Downwind - aircraft are to report ‘Downwind’ when abeam the upwind end of the runway.
• Base Leg - Aircraft are to report ‘Base Leg’, if requested by ATC, immediately on completion of the turn onto base leg.
• Final - Aircraft are to report ‘Final’ after the completion of the turn onto final approach and when at a range of not more than 4nm from the approach end of the runway.
• Long Final - Aircraft flying a final approach of a greater length than 4nm are to report ‘Long Final’ when beyond that range and ‘Final’ when a range of 4nm is reached. Aircraft flying a straight-in approach are to report ‘Long Final’ at 8nm from the approach end of the runway and ‘Final’ when a range of 4nm is reached.

Mark Wagner (FI à Redhill) et Ian Sheppard sont venus faire à l'improviste au mois de janvier qq photos des avions du GVVV et GVMN. Nous avons eu l'occasion d'échanger nos projets de vol et Mark a volontiers accepter de nous conseiller sur les particularités VFR en UK. Ci-dessous, vous pouvez consulter nos échanges mails. Je lui ai annoncé nos dates et j'espère que vous aurez également l'occasion de le rencontrer lors notre arrivée à Redhill 

Un Grand Merci à Mark pour sa précieuse contribution

Question de Stéphane au sujet du wording / standard procédure circuit

1) Overflying Airport; Altitude; Autorisé ou pas si aucune indication ?

2) Quels sont les types d'intégration circuit les plus courant. J'ai vu  le passage au seuil de piste opposé par exemple ?

3) Codes transpondeur et fréquence à monitoire sans indication spécifique du contrôleur. Il y'a la liste dans AIP Pooleys. A quel moment doit on enclencher ce genre de procédure ?

4) Peut-on transiter les ATZ sans contact ?

5) Quel service demand-t-on au SIV (LARS ?) Basic ou Traffic ou autre selon les conditions ?

6) A Duxford, le week-end avant notre vol, il ya le Duxford Air Festival, ça va être chargé ?
