Control Zones
Designated airspace around certain aerodromes to facilitate the control of VFR and IFR traffic
Usually a 5 NM radius, 3,000’ AGL VFR weather limits are higher SVFR may be requested in some zones Most zones designated as class D
SVFR - Special VFR
Authorization obtained from the appropriate ATC unit allows you to fly:-within a control zone,-in IFR weather conditions,-without an IFR clearance-has to be requested by the pilot
1 mile for aircraft½ mile for helicopters
-working radio-clear of cloud, in sight of ground
at night, only to allow the aircraft to land
CAVOK KAV-OH-KAY
No cloud below 5,000 feet, no cumulonimbus
Visibility of 6 SM or more No precipitation, thunderstorms,
shallow fog or drifting snow

Communication Failures(602.138)
Where there is a two-way radio communication failure between the ATC unit and a VFR aircraft while operating in Class B, C, or D airspace, the PIC shall:
a) leave the airspace
i) where the airspace is a control zone, by landing at the aerodrome for which the control zone is established
ii) in any other case, by the shortest route
Communication Failures(602.138)
Where there is a two-way radio communication failure between the ATC unit and a VFR aircraft while operating in Class B, C, or D airspace, the PIC shall:
b) squawk 7600 on the transponder (if the aircraft is equipped with one)
c) inform ATC (as soon as possible) of the actions taken
Emergency Radio Capability(602.143)
No person shall operate an aircraft equipped with two-way VFR radio
communication equipment unless it is capable of providing
communication on VHF frequency 121.50 MHz.
Interception Signals(602.114)
No person shall give an interception signal or an instruction to land except:
a) a peace officer, an officer of police authority or an officer of the Canadian Forces
b) a person authorized to do so by the Minister
VFR Transponder Operation
12,500’ and below – 1200 Above 12,500’ – 1400 Emergency – 7700 Other codes assigned by TRSA or a tower
“Squawk 5670”
“Ident”
“Squawk standby” Turn to standby when re-selecting a code
Wake Turbulence
-light
-medium
-heavy
Intersecting Runways
-sequential
-simultaneous
