    Flight Inspection History Written by Scott Thompson - Sacramento Flight Inspection Office (May 2008)

    Flight Inspection History Written by Scott Thompson - Sacramento Flight Inspection Office (May 2008) Through the brief but brilliant span of aviation history, the United States has been at the leading edge of advancing technology, from airframe and engines to navigation aids and avionics. One key component of American aviation progress has always been the airway and navigation system that today makes all-weather transcontinental flight unremarkable and routine. From the initial, tentative efforts aimed at supporting the infant air mail service of the early 1920s and the establishment of the airline industry in the 1930s and 1940s, air navigation later guided aviation into the jet age and now looks to satellite technology for direction. Today, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides, as one of many services, the management and maintenance of the American airway system. A little-seen but still important element of that maintenance process is airborne flight inspection. Flight inspection has long been a vital part of providing a safe air transportation system. The concept is almost as old as the airways themselves. The first flight inspectors flew war surplus open-cockpit biplanes, bouncing around with airmail pilots and watching over a steadily growing airway system predicated on airway light beacons to provide navigational guidance. The advent of radio navigation brought an increased importance to the flight inspector, as his was the only platform that could evaluate the radio transmitters from where they were used: in the air. With the development of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and the Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR), flight inspection became an essential element to verify the accuracy of the system.

    B576/Y722 & Y711

    Operations Notice Number: ON 002/2017 Title: INTERSECTION OF AIRWAYS A593 – B576/Y722 & Y711 (the so-called ‘AKARA Corridor’) Applicable to: Operations in the Southern part of INCHEON FIR Effective date: 06 November 2017 Expiry: Until Further Notice Authorized by: Senior Vice President Safety and Flight Operations (SFO) IATA Contact e-mail: [email protected] This Operational Notice informs and reminds airlines of a unique arrangement over international waters agreed under a 1983 Memorandum of Understanding between China, Japan, Republic of Korea and ICAO for the management of air traffic in the southern part of the current INCHEON Flight Information Region (see attached map). The airspace is commonly referred to as the AKARA Corridor. Instead of responsibility for the control of ALL aircraft operating at the crossing point of air routes A593 and B576/Y722 (position NIRAT) and Y711 (position PONIK) being vested in a single air traffic control unit, it is vested under both the INCHEON Area Control Center (ACC) and the FUKUOKA ACC. Aircraft operating East/West on A593 are controlled by FUKUOKA ACC1 (crossing Y711 at position PONIK and B576/Y722 at position NIRAT). Aircraft operating North/South on B576 and Y711 are under the control of INCHEON ACC. Therefore, crossing traffic is not on the same ATC frequency, nor controlled from the same area control center. Following the implementation of RVSM in the INCHEON FIR in 2005, the allocation of flight levels on B576/Y711 was increased from 6 to 8 flight levels. Coincident with implementation of RVSM in China, levels available on A593 were also increased to include Flight Levels 300 and 310, while FL410 was replaced by FL400.

  • FAA Airspace Classifications

    FAA Airspace Classifications

    United States Main article: Airspace class (United States) The U.S. adopted a slightly modified version of the ICAO system on September 16 , 1993 , when regions of airspace designated according to older classifications were converted wholesale. The exceptions are some Terminal Radar Service Areas (TRSA), which have special rules and still exist in a few places. • With some exceptions, Class A airspace is applied to all airspace between 18,000 feet(5,500 m) and Flight Level 600 (approximately 60,000 ft). Above FL600, the airspace reverts to Class E (Reference Order 7400.9P, Subpart E). The transition altitude (see Flight level ) is also consistently 18,000 feet (5,500 m). All operations in US Class A airspace must be conducted under IFR. SVFR flight in Class A airspace is prohibited. • Class B airspace is used around major airports , in a funnel shape that is designed to contain arriving and departing commercial air traffic operating under IFR, up to10,000 feet (3,000 m) above MSL (12,000 feet above Denver, Colorado ). Class C airspace is used around airports and military air bases with a moderate traffic level. Class • Class D is used for smaller airports that have a control tower. The U.S. uses a modified version of the ICAO class C and D airspace, where only radio contact with ATC rather than an ATC clearance is required for VFR operations. • Other controlled airspace is designated as Class E - this includes a large part of the lower airspace. Class E airspace exists in many forms. It can serve as a surface-based extension to Class D airspace to accommodate IFR approach/departure procedure areas.

    Chapter: 2. En Route Operations

    Chapter 2 En Route Operations Introduction The en route phase of flight is defined as that segment of flight from the termination point of a departure procedure to the origination point of an arrival procedure. The procedures employed in the en route phase of flight are governed by a set of specific flight standards established by 14 CFR [Figure 2-1], FAA Order 8260.3, and related publications. These standards establish courses to be flown, obstacle clearance criteria, minimum altitudes, navigation performance, and communications requirements. 2-1 fly along the centerline when on a Federal airway or, on routes other than Federal airways, along the direct course between NAVAIDs or fixes defining the route. The regulation allows maneuvering to pass well clear of other air traffic or, if in visual meteorogical conditions (VMC), to clear the flightpath both before and during climb or descent. Airways Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called airways. [Figure 2-2] Airways can be thought of as three- dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules governing airway routing, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), are published flight procedures that cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway. Most airways are eight nautical miles (14 kilometers) wide, and the airway Figure 2-1.
