#4. Do you need a flight radio telephony operator licence (FRTOL) to fly a Microlight
ANO Section 5
Operation of radio in aircraft 79.
(1) A radio station in an aircraft must not be operated, whether or not the aircraft is in flight, except—
(a) in accordance with the conditions of the licence issued for that station under the law of the country in which the
aircraft is registered or the State of the operator; and
(b) by a person duly licensed or otherwise permitted to operate the radio station under that law.
(2) The radio station in an aircraft must not be operated so as to cause interference which
impairs the efficiency of aeronautical telecommunications or navigational services.
Wireless Telegraphy (WT) Act 1949
Under the Wireless Telegraphy (WT) Act 1949 it is an offence to install or use radio transmission equipment without a licence.
Glider pilots and student pilots under training are, subject to certain conditions, exempt under ANO Article 26 from the requirement to hold a FRTOL. However, glider pilots without a FRTOL are not permitted to use the radio to communicate with an Air Traffic Control (ATC) unit.
#5. How long is the Microlight class rating valid for?
#6. How wide is an “Airway”
#7. How high does an ATZ extend above QFE?
Aerodrome Traffic Zones (ATZ)
ATZ’s are established to give protection to aircraft at the critical stages of flight when departing, arriving and flying in the vicinity of an aerodrome.
Where the longest runway is greater than 1850 metres in length
The zone will normally extend from the surface to 2000 feet above ground level (agl) with a radius of 2.5 NM around the midpoint of the longest runway.
Where the longest runway is less than 1850 metres in length
The zone will normally extend from the surface to 2000 feet agl with a radius of 2.0 NM around the midpoint of the longest runway for aerodromes.

#19. What does this symbol mean?
#20. You are in communication with an AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service), where does their authority end?
Ref: CAA CAP 413
AFISOs are also permitted to pass messages on behalf of other agencies and instructions from the aerodrome operator. If they do so, they will include the name of the agency so that pilots will be aware that the message comes from a legitimate source, e.g. ‘Wrayton Control clears you to join …’.
With the exception of issuing instructions to aircraft on the ground, AFISOs provide an information service relating to the ATZ and aerodrome. They must ensure that the information given to pilots is distinct and unambiguous, as pilots will use
this information for the safe and efficient conduct of their flights.
An AFISO may request pilots to make position reports e.g.downwind, final etc. These requests do not have the status of instructions, although it is expected that most pilots will comply.
From the information provided by the AFISO, the pilot will determine if it is safe to land, take-off or transit
the ATZ. AFISOs are not permitted to refuse entry into the ATZ when requested by a pilot. The aerodrome authority may decide that they will not permit an aircraft to land at their aerodrome and request that the AFISO pass this message on. Such a message must be prefixed: ‘Message from the aerodrome authority…’ AFISOs may not issue such
messages of their own volition.
