ATC service will be provided to all IFR traffic and some VFR traffic
The confluence of airways adjacent to one or more aerodromes where ATC is provided
to all air traffic
A defined area of airspace in which all controlled flights are provided with an Air Traffic
Service
Airspace of defined limits in which IFR traffic is separated from other IFR traffic; IFR
from VFR and controlled VFR from other VFR traffic

6.
7.
Yes
No, only IMC is permitted
No, you must have an instrument rating and the aircraft must be instrument equipped
No, IFR is mandatory in class A airspace
Which class of airspace permits IFR and VFR flights but only offers a Flight Information Service
and Alerting Service?
a.
b.
c.
d.
10.
A
B

What class of airspace permits VFR controlled flights which are separated from all IFR traffic,
and the controlled VFR traffic receives flight information about other (non controlled) VFR
traffic?

12.
Are all Flight Information Regions (FIR) required to have a Flight Information Centre (FIC)?
a.
b.
c.
d.
15.
14.
Because advisory control is provided for both IFR and VFR traffic
Advisory control is provided to participating IFR traffic
Because there is no legal requirement to observe the existence of class F airspace, you
are just 'advised' to call the controller
Class F airspace only exists where normal procedural ATC cannot be applied due to
remoteness or sparse traffic density
13.
Yes
Not if the services (FIS and Alerting Service) have been assigned to an ATC unit having
adequate facilities
Not necessarily. An FIC is only required if the FIR has airways and control areas/zones
An FIC is not required if there are no aerodromes in an FIR

Squawk 7700 and try to evade the fighters
Try calling the fighters on the distress frequency stating that you are a controlled flight
under instructions of the ATCU and cannot comply with the interceptor requirements
