The Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's)

Are rules prescribed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) governing all aviation activities in the United States.
The FARs comprise Title 14 of the (see link) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
A wide variety of activities are regulated, such as aircraft design and maintenance, typical airline flights, pilot training activities, hot-air ballooning, lighter-than-air aircraft, man-made structure heights, obstruction lighting and marking, model rocket launches, commercial space operations, model aircraft operations, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and kite flying. The rules are designed to promote safe aviation, protecting pilots, flight attendants, passengers and the general public from unnecessary risk.

The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM)
The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is the FAA's official guide to basic flight information and Air traffic control (ATC) procedures.
The AIM contains the basic aeronautical knowledge information required to fly in the United States National Airspace System.
It also contains items of interest to pilots concerning health and medical facts, factors affecting flight safety, a pilot/controller glossary of terms used in the ATC System, and information on safety, accident, and hazard reporting.

EXERCISE 2

Respond the next question to determine the following

-USE THE AIM TO FIND BASIC VFR WEATHER MINIMUMS


 

Phraseology

Section 2. Radio Communications Phraseology and Techniques
De Sitio FAA.GOV encontramos esta seccion

Esta sección prescribe procedimientos y fraseología estandarizados para que los utilicen los especialistas al comunicar información meteorológica y aeronáutica en comunicaciones por radiodifusión, radioteléfono e interfono.

Esta orden prescribe procedimientos y fraseología de control de tráfico aéreo para uso del personal que proporciona servicios de control de tráfico aéreo. Los controladores deben estar familiarizados con las disposiciones de esta orden que pertenecen a sus responsabilidades operativas y ejercer su criterio si encuentran situaciones no cubiertas por ella.

The 4 W's radio communications technique

Remember the 4 W's of ATC

  • Who you're calling: Clearly state the name of the facility you're calling.

  • Who you are: State your full aircraft identification as filed in the flight plan.

  • Where you are: State your position.

  • What you want: State your request.


Sample
  • Who you're calling: Brown Ground/Tower

  • Who you are: Skyhawk N1234L

  • Where you are: At (Facility, report point, distance and altitude)

  • What you want: Request (Taxi for Runway Number,Inbound Landing,etc)

THE US AIRSPACE

FAA AIRSPACE FOR VFR FLIGHT


There are two categories of airspace or airspace areas:


  1. Regulatory (Class A, B, C, D and E airspace areas, restricted and prohibited areas); and

  2. Nonregulatory (military operations areas [MOA], warning areas, alert areas, controlled firing areas [CFA], and national security areas [NSA]).

Within these two categories, there are four types:


  • Controlled,

  • Uncontrolled,

  • Special use, and

  • Other airspace.

The categories and types of airspace are dictated by:


  • The complexity or density of aircraft movements,

  • The nature of the operations conducted within the airspace,

  • The level of safety required, and

  • The national and public interest.

It is important that pilots be familiar with the operational requirements for each of the various types or classes of airspace. Subsequent sections will cover each class in sufficient detail to facilitate understanding.


 

  • Class A 

AIRWAYS

  • Class B

BIG AIRCRAFT

  • Class C

CROWDED

  • Class D 

DIALOGUE

  • Class E

EVERYWHERE

  • Class G 

GO FOR IT

-Class A airspace is more restrictive than Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, or Class G airspace;

-Class B airspace is more restrictive than Class C, Class D, Class E, or Class G airspace;

-Class C airspace is more restrictive than Class D, Class E, or Class G airspace;

-Class D airspace is more restrictive than Class E or Class G airspace; and

-Class E is more restrictive than Class G airspace.


No person may operate an aircraft under basic VFR when the flight visibility is less, or at a distance from clouds that is less, than that prescribed for the corresponding altitude and class of airspace.


Except as provided in 14 CFR Section 91.157, Special VFR Weather Minimums, no person may operate an aircraft beneath the ceiling under VFR within the lateral boundaries of controlled airspace designated to the surface for an airport when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet. (See 14 CFR Section 91.155(c).)
