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 allowed:
    • 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)

Light Signals

Aircraft in Flight
steady green cleared to land
flashing green return for landing
steady red give way to other aircraft / continue circeling
flashing red Aerodrome unsafe, do not land
flashing white land after continuous green
red fireworks notwithstanding previous instructions, do not land
Aircraft on Ground
steady green cleared for take-off
flashing green cleared for taxi
steady red stop
flashing red taxi clear of landing area
flashing white return to starting point
