Corporate Seminar

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

2. FAA Icing Guidance 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. 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..

7. ADIZ/FRZ

8. Airspace Problems • ADIZ • 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

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.

10. Airspace Problems • ADIZ • 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

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.

12. Military Training Routes

13. Airspace Problems • ADIZ • 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

14. Airspace and Weather Minimums For VFR • Part 91.155– (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

15. Lateral Boundaries of Tampa “B”

16. Special Airspaces • Flyways • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited P50

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

18. VFRFlyways

19. VFR FLYWAYS

20. Special Airspaces • Flyways D.A.D. • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited ( attachment) P50 • “B” “C” “D” “E” Lateral Boundries

21. VFR CorridorUncontrolled Traffic-------- No Clearance---SFR

22. Special Airspaces • Flyways D.A.D. • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited ( attachment) P50

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

24. VFRTransitionRoute

25. Special Airspaces • Flyways D.A.D. • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited ( attachment) P50

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

27. TRSA

28. Special Airspaces • Flyways • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited ( attachment) P50

29. National Security Area 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.

30. National Security Area

31. Special Airspaces • Flyways • VFR Corridors • VFR Transition Routes • Terminal Radar Services (TRSA) • National Security Areas (NSA) • Prohibited P 50

32. Prohibited P-40

33. “E” Airspace Six Types of “E” Airspace Less than 10,000’-3sm..500 below, 1,000 above, 2000’ horizontal Surface Area Designated for an Airport

34. Understanding AWOS & ASOS ASOS Automated Surface Observation System

35. Weather Text ASOS AWOS

36. Florida’s Surface Class “E” When Towers Close “C” or “D” Lakeland Tower Vs St Pete/Clearwater

37. Class E Airspace

38. Gainesville Regional

39. Sarasota/Bradenton INTL “C”

40. Hot Spots Florida • Daytona Bch Int.- Twy W to S turningon to Runway. • Miami Intl.-multiple intersections closely spaced.

41. This Has Been An Airspace Review But Not in It’s Entirety Please Drive and Fly Safety And Appreciate and Help Each Other

42. Difference between Upwind and Departure legs.

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..
