  • Countywide Airspace Usage
    A PPENDIX I Countywide Airspace Usage Riverside County is within one of the busiest and most complex sections of airspace in the United States, handling over 4.3 million operations annually. To better understand the magnitude of these op- erations and complexities of this system, Map 1 depicts Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations for the six busiest airports in the area for a 24-hour period on January 26, 1996. This exhibit does not depict operations from the 14 airports in Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan update. AIRSPACE STRUCTURE Since the advent of aviation, nations have established procedures within their boundaries to regulate the use of airspace. Airspace is broadly classified as either “controlled” or “uncontrolled” in the United States. The difference between the two categories relates primarily to requirements for pilot qualifica- tions, ground-to-air communications, navigation and traffic services, and weather conditions. Six classes of airspace have been designated in the United States. Airspace designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E is considered controlled airspace. Aircraft operating within controlled airspace are subject to vary- ing requirements for positive air traffic control. The airspace in Riverside County, as illustrated on Map 2, is constantly occupied by aircraft arriving and departing from other airports in the region. Frequently, overflights experienced in communities near Riverside County airports are not the result of operations at nearby airports, but from aircraft us- ing airports outside Riverside County. After the preparation of this plan, additional approaches have been established for aircraft arriving at Los Angeles International Airport. These new approaches were not included as part of the map development process for this plan.

  • Appendix 2 ORDER of PRIORITY for AIRSPACE USE
    Appendix 2 ORDER OF PRIORITY FOR AIRSPACE USE The order of priority described in this Appendix is based on advance notification procedures at the pre-tactical level of ASM in adherence to the FUA concept. Approved Agencies (AA) are authorised to submit advance notifications to the AMC. Airspace reservations can also be made without an advance notification at the tactical level, but in that case the reserved areas will have no priority over other airspace structures or air traffic. This document specifies the permanent order of priority for airspace use. Traficom may issue a decision concerning temporary reorganisation of priorities through the strategic level planning and negotiation process. The following flights always take priority over all other air traffic and airspace structures: - an aircraft in an emergency; - an aircraft avoiding a weather phenomenon dangerous to flights; - quick reaction alert flights (QRA missions); - flights conducted under an Open Skies agreement; - flights designated with STS indicators MEDEVAC/SAR/HEAD. The following order of priority shall be observed between various airspace structures and air traffic: 1 TSA – TMA At the pre-tactical level, a TMA takes priority over TSAs. A TSA may be given priority over a TMA through the strategic level planning and negotiation process. At the tactical level, the TMA holder may release airspace for a TSA, in which case the TMZ requirement and services specific to the airspace class may also be waived. 2 TSA – FIZ At the pre-tactical level, the FIZ takes priority over TSAs. A TSA may be given priority over a FIZ through the strategic level planning and negotiation process.

  • 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.

Standard Scenarios limit the administrative burden for both UAS operators and the authorities and stimulates innovation by lowering the entry level for certain types of operation. A standard scenario includes a declaration that shall be signed by the operator’s accountable manager and submitted to the authorities. By submitting the declaration the operator indicates the covered operation will be conducted in accordance with the indicated general conditions and that all mitigation measures are in place and verified. This methodology is in line with all known elements of upcoming EU drone legislation. Some underlying elements of this legislation and associated guidance material are still under construction. Therefore, until further notice, all operators wishing to conduct the operation covered by this standard scenario in The Netherlands, also need to obtain the specific approval of CAA-NL by applying for extension of the privileges under their RPAS Operators Certificate (ROC). Dutch ROC-holders may send their applications for authorisations to [email protected].

  • Appendix D National Airspace System
    APPENDIX D NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Airport Master Plan Update APPENDIX D. NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM The national airspace system consists of a network of navigational aids and a number of air traffic control facilities designed to operate in conjunction with the various defined classes of airspace. These classes are subdivided into controlled, uncontrolled, special use, and other airspace categories. D.1 CONTROLLED AIRSPACE Controlled airspace includes all airspace categorized as either Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace. While operating in controlled airspace pilots are subject to certain operating rules as well as pilot qualification and aircraft equipment requirements. In accordance with each airspace classification, ATC service is provided to aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR). D.1.1 Class A Airspace Class A airspace includes the airspace over the United States and the airspace overlying the waters within 12 nautical miles of the coast of the 48 contiguous states, from 18,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) up to and including 60,000 feet MSL, also known as flight level 600 (FL600). Appendix D D - 1 Final Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Airport Master Plan Update The Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) requires all persons operating an aircraft in Class A airspace to be flying under IFR. Operations in Class A airspace can only be conducted under an air traffic control (ATC) clearance received prior to entering the airspace and each aircraft must be equipped with a two-way radio capable of communicating with ATC on an assigned frequency and an operating transponder.
