IFR Law 8 - Separation

Who is responsible for traffic separation between IFR traffic in Class G airspace?

• Christchurch Information or the relevant information service

• The pilot in command

• The radar monitoring service

• The service that released you for take-off

In class D airspace, are IFR traffic separated from VFR traffic?

• Yes

• No

• Only Special VFR traffic

When Dunedin tower goes off watch at night:

• It remains class D airspace

• It reverts to class G airspace

• I becomes a Mandatory Broadcast Zone

• The airspace is closed while the tower is off watch

Select the situations where an IFR pilot is responsible for their own traffic separation

• A pilot flying at FL150 in class G airspace

• An Airbus below you has received a TCAS RA and it climbing towards you

• When a pilot has been cleared visual separation

• On departure out of Christchurch airport while still in tower's airspace

The standard separation between two IFR aircraft is: (select all that apply)

• 1000ft Vertically

• 5NM Laterally

• 500ft Vertically

• 3NM Laterally

The standard horizontal separation may be reduced within a 60NM radius of: (select all that apply)

• Auckland

• Ohakea

• Wellington

• Christchurch

• Te Weraiti SSR site

What are the conditions for the minimum vertical separation to be reduced to 500ft within controlled airspace?

• Both aircraft are medium or light weight category aircraft, and the lower aircraft is VFR or SVFR operating at an altitude of 4500 ft or below.

• Both aircraft are light weight category aircraft, and the lower aircraft is VFR operating at an altitude of 4500 ft or below.

• Both aircraft are medium or light weight category aircraft, and the lower aircraft is VFR or SVFR operating at an altitude of 1500 ft or below.

• The upper aircraft is light weight category aircraft , and the lower aircraft is VFR or SVFR operating at an altitude of 1500 ft or below.

An aircraft is considered on a conflicting with with another aircraft when in the opinion of the radar controlled the projected tracks would reduced separation to less than (a)   NM

An aircraft flying from Christchurch to Rarotonga, operating in the Oceanic RNP 10 airspace must be separated by how much from air aircraft in front of it?

• 10NM

• 30NM

• 20NM

• 50NM

If you are lining up A6 at Christchurch in a Piper Tomahawk after an A320 (medium) has just rolled from A6, how much must you wait for wake turbulence separation?

• There is no wake turbulence separation required in this case

• 2mins

• 3mins

• 4mins
