2 minutes of each other

If the pilot’s estimates of inbound aircraft that are not within two minutes of each other, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The aircraft are using different ______ or using different _______

approach patterns, runways

an approach procedure

If the pilot’s estimates of inbound aircraft that are not within two minutes of each other, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

If the pilot’s estimates of inbound aircraft that are not within two minutes of each other, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

within 2 minutes

If the pilot estimate of an inbound aircraft is not within two minutes of the time an aircraft is taxiing for departure, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The departing aircraft is _____. This is an important consideration especially if the inbound aircraft is _______.

IFR and requires a clearance, IFR with an approach clearance

If the pilot estimate of an inbound aircraft is not within two minutes of the time an aircraft is taxiing for departure, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The departing aircraft must make a long taxi and it is anticipated the taxiing aircraft _______ the inbound aircraft is in the vicinity of the aerodrome

will not be airborne

If the pilot estimate of an inbound aircraft is not within two minutes of the time an aircraft is taxiing for departure, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The departing aircraft is expected ______.

to be delayed by other traffic

If the pilot estimate of an inbound aircraft is not within two minutes of the time an aircraft is taxiing for departure, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The inbound aircraft ______

is already in the zone

If the pilot estimate of an inbound aircraft is not within two minutes of the time an aircraft is taxiing for departure, the aircraft could still be considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time depending on the situation, such as:

• The flight paths of the aircraft will ________ when the aircraft are in the vicinity of the aerodrome

cross or oppose

Traffic information is not required for inbound/outbound traffic if the outbound aircraft ______ before the inbound aircraft is in the vicinity of the aerodrome (within 5 miles of the airport) and ______.

will be airborne, the flight paths of the aircraft are diverging

If known or observed aircraft will be ________ on the runway in use or will still be ______ when the aircraft receiving the advisory is ready for departure they are considered to be operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome at the same time. The vicinity of the airport would be _______.

Transiting traffic is considered as ______, whose flight path is expected to bring the aircraft at a point within or near the vicinity of the aerodrome that it may impact on _______.

known aircraft, the intentions of aircraft receiving an advisory

Aircraft that are opposite directions on _______ are on opposing flight paths

the same flight path (i.e. departing to and arriving from the same location)

Aircraft that are opposite direction in the same general area are considered to be on opposing flight paths unless it can be ______, that the one will not affect ______
