Runway Numbering

A runway number is taken from a bearing of
the direction that it points. Numbers are
rounded off to the nearest 10°. The numbers
are marked at the end of every runway in
large white numbers.
– Example

Regional Gliding School
A runway pointing to 18° magnetic would be
numbered 02.
Runway Markings

Centreline:

Threshold:
25
– white lines in the middle of the runway to mark the
centre.
– white line running across the runway.

Displaced Threshold:
– sometimes the threshold is unsafe for landing so it is
moved up to a safe area.

Taxiway Markings

Taxiway Centerline:
25
– yellow line used as a guide to keep the aircraft in the
center of the taxiway.

Hold Lines:
– yellow line running across the taxiway. Aircraft
must “hold short” at this point until cleared for
take-off.
Regional Gliding School
Aerodrome Markings:
 Unserviceable:
25
– marked with large white or yellow X’s on
both ends of a runway or taxiway. Red
flags are also used to mark unserviceable
areas that can be passable with caution.

Wind Indicators

Wind Sock:




elongates as the wind increases
if the wind sock is straight out
then the wind is 15Kts or more
if the wing sock is on a 30° down
slope then the wind is 6Kts
if the sock is fluctuating then
gusty conditions exist.

Wind Indicators

Tetrahedron:


known as wind T, it is designed like an arrow whose
small end points into the wind.
only tells wind direction, not wind speed.

The Circuit

Upwind:


Crosswind:


flight path opposite to the direction of landing, which is parallel to
and a distance off to the side of the runway
Base


lies across the centre of the landing area perpendicular to the
downwind leg
Downwind:


the area opposite to downwind leg
flight path perpendicular to the landing




no radio
aircraft is not capable of communicating over the

receive only
similar to NORDO except the aircraft can receive
messages. Tower may ask for confirmation through
a visual sign (i.e. rock the wings)
The following are authorized light signals
to aircraft on the ground:
Flashing Green Light
Steady Green Light
Flashing Red Light
Steady Red Light

Airworthiness


It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that Canadian registered
aircraft are fit and safe prior to being flown.
Flight Permit
– issued for experimental and specific purpose.

Certification of Airworthiness
– the C of A signifies that the aircraft conforms to TC
recognized design standards.

Annual Airworthiness Info Report
– certifies that airworthiness information is correct. Does not
require an inspection, flight test, or certification.
Regional Gliding School
Documentation
The following are required to be aboard all
aircraft:

C - Crew Licenses and Medicals
– Pilot License
– Medical Certificate
– Restricted Radio Operator's Certificate (unless NORDO)



P - POH (Pilot Operating Handbook)

Congratulations!!
You have now completed the Aerodromes and Traffic Procedures
lesson of the Aeronautical Rules and Facilities Module. Of course, this
lesson is always available to you for future reference if required.
You are now ready to move along to the next Aeronautical Rules and
Facilities lesson you have not completed or to any other module you
wish. You can advance to the Self Test Module if you feel ready to
challenge the final exam.
Good Luck!
