Airspace E. update. Controlled airspace in which IFR and VFR traffic is permitted

Transcription

1 Pilot Info 01/2015 Facts: Airspace update ontrolled airspace in which IFR and VFR traffic is permitted Lower limit between 1000 ft and 2500 ft, below this (uncontrolled) airspace G Upper limit FL100, above the German Alps FL130 Weather minima for VFR traffic: 1000 ft vertical and 1.5 km horizontal distance from clouds, up to FL100 flight visibility 5 km, in/above FL100 flight visibility 8 km VFR pilots alone are responsible for complying with these conditions regarding the weather minima as compliance is not verifiable uring the day, radio contact for VFR traffic is not prescribed No separation established between IFR and VFR traffic. Filing of a flight plan is mandatory for VFR night flights in airspace. The VFR night traffic is then under the control of an IFR sector; AT has no obligation to establish separation between IFR and VFR night Only powered aircraft have to activate their transponders above A5000 ft MSL or A3500 ft GN (for example, gliders may fly without a transponder up to FL95 in airspace ). uring the night, transponders are mandatory for all aircraft in airspace Transponders are mandatory for all aircraft in the Transponder Mandatory Zone () that is part of airspace Pilot Info 01/2015 1

2 FS eutsche Flugsicherung - Safety and Quality Traffic information - To IFR traffic, if information is available and the situation allows - To VFR traffic, when in radio contact with FIS (Flight Information Service) and the situation allows VFR traffic is not controlled even when in radio contact Traffic avoidance advice to IFR traffic only upon request IFR flight documents do not provide sufficient information on the airspace structure VFR charts do not provide sufficient information on IFR routings IFR flights do not have a general right-of-way in airspace. The right-ofway rules under the German Aviation Regulation (LuftVO) shall apply. Gliders, hang gliders, paragliders, balloon and aerotowing aircraft shall have the right-of-way This not only applies when the IFR flight is being radar vectored but also when the IFR flight is conducting an IFR procedure, such as a SI or STAR. To prevent dangerous aircraft proximity, the SI or STAR shall be deviated from and AT informed Arrival and departure charts To draw the attention of IFR pilots to the special features of airspace, FS has now added the appropriate information to all approach and departure charts from and to airports that are not protected from unknown VFR traffic below FL100 by airspace categories or (not TR). For airports whose approach and departure procedures from/to FL100 lead through airspace (also ), the following information will be given: IFR PROFILS WITHIN AIRSPA LASS. WATH OUT FOR VFR TRAFFI UNKNOWN TO AT. For airports whose approach and departure procedures from/to a specified level are protected by airspace / (not TR), but a portion of the approach and departure procedures from/to FL100 leads though airspace, the following information will be given: PARTS OF IFR PROFILS WITHIN AIRSPA LASS. WATH OUT FOR VFR TRAFFI UNKNOWN TO AT. Pilot Info 01/2015 2

3 FS eutsche Flugsicherung - Safety and Quality Airports and regional airports* *only the most important regional airports have been included No protected airspace below FL100, airspace until reaching the control zone. The Saarbrücken, Niederrhein, Memmingen and Friedrichshafen airports are protected by a Protected airspace and/or (not TR) at levels above TR, but not up to FL100. This applies to the Bremen, Münster/Osnabrück, ortmund, Paderborn Leipzig, resden, Frankfurt-Hahn and Karlsruhe-Baden airports. Approaches to and departures from Nürnberg Airport are protected by a from FL70 to FL100.* Protected airspace and/or (not TR) below FL100 up to TR.* *List of airports and airspace flown through can be found in the annex.
