Air Law Part 3

Cross Country = flight is going more than 3 NM from aerodrome of departure

Only a flight that has been properly pre-planned with a route, turning points and destination, and is of such duration and distance that in-flight track adjustments can be made is acceptable to the Authority for this purpose.

Gathering; minimum of 500 people on the ground and organizer must have CAAM permission.

The aircraft should not fly below 500' above the gathering.

If the gathering is more than 1000 people, aircraft should not fly below 3000' above the gathering.

QUOTATIONS FROM PPL NOTES;

An aircraft other than a helicopter must not fly over a congested area below a height that would allow it to land clear of the area without danger to people or property if an engine fails, or less than 1500' above the highest fixed object within 600 m, whichever is the higher

No aircraft may fly over or within 1000 meters of an open-air gathering of more than 1000 people except with the permission in writing of the Authority and in accordance with any conditions specified and with die written consent of the organizers

An aircraft must not fly closer than 500 feet* to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure (treated as a semi- spherical shape)

AERIAL COLLISION AVOIDANCE

CONVERGING

The aircraft on the right has the right of way, hence the aircraft that has the other on its right must give way.

ORDER OF LANDING

Emergency has first priority of landing

2nd priority is the aircraft that has been given clearance to land

The lower aircraft gets to land first.

If you're flying under Class A, B, C you need ATC clearance, that means you need to file a specific form (written notification), but in Class G you need to notify them verbally (verbal information and it is minimal)

Subject to Rule 5 (Low Flying) requirements the aircraft must not fly at less than 1000 feet above the highest obstacle within 5 NM except:

(a) on a route notified for the purposes of this Rule or otherwise authorized by the competent authority;

(b) as necessary for take-off or landing;

(c) when flying at 3000 feet AMSL or below, clear of cloud and in sight of the surface.

In controlled airspace, you use Semi-circular levels.

In uncontrolled airspace, you use Quadrantal levels.

When flying > FL 290, use semi-circular rules (in uncontrolled)

In controlled airspace; VFR is continued up to FL 150

In uncontrolled airspace; VFR is continued up to FL 250
