VFR Distances

  • VFR requires VMC conditions
  • Around airport:
    • Cloud ceiling > 1500'
    • Ground vis >= 5km
  • general:
    • 1500m horizontally + 1000' vertical distance from cloud
    • at or below 10000' = 5km visibility
    • above 10000' = 8km visibility
  • No VFR:
    • in Class A airspace
    • >= FL200
    • transonic, supersonic
    • min. 1000' over towns
    • min. 500' over other ground

IFR Distances

  • 1000' above highest obstacle within 8km radius
  • 2000' above highest obstacle in mountainous area, > 5000', turbulent conditions

Squawk codes

  • 7000 = VFR
  • 7500 = Hijacking
  • 7600 = Radio failure
  • 7700 = Mayday

Pressure

  • QNH - altitude (above MSL)
  • QFE - height (above airport)
  • Standard 1013.25 hPa - (Flight level)
