#9. Can a flight enter an ATZ without permission?
Rule 11 of The Rules of the Air Regulations 2015 – Flying within an ATZ
To comply with Rule 11
1. An aircraft must not fly, take off or land within the ATZ of an aerodrome unless the commander of the aircraft has complied with 2, 3 or 4 as appropriate.
2. If the aerodrome has an air traffic control unit the commander must obtain the permission of that unit to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
3. If the aerodrome provides a flight information service the commander must obtain information from the flight information centre to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
4. If there is no flight information centre at the aerodrome the commander must obtain information from the air/ground communication service to enable the flight to be conducted safely within the ATZ.
#10. 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.

#24. 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.
#25. What is the minimum amount of third party insurance required for a microlight?
This is measured in Special Drawing or SDR Rights
An SDR (Special Drawing Right) is a currency unit of the International Monetary Fund and is used worldwide as a method of determining value. It is based on a selection of foreign currencies and therefore fluctuates in value on a continual basis in the same way as any currency does.
