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 ______ 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
