A pilot that is planning an IFR flight is reviewing the data needed through the NOTAMs and the AIPs. What are the FIRs of concern?

1. FIR affecting the aerodrome of departure
2. FIR of the whole state
3. FIR of adjacent states
4. FIR of the whole continent where the departure aerodrome is
5. FIR affecting the route flown

  • A

    1, 3 and 5

  • B

    1, 3 and 4

  • C

    1, 2 and 3

  • D

    2 only

When preparing for an IFR flight, a pilot should be aware of information relevant to the flight route, including the procedures related to the departure, destination and alternate aerodromes and the procedures to be followed along the route. Such information are available in the AIPs.

The pilot should also be aware about unserviceabilities, occupied areas along the route or any other operational information concerning the departure, destination and alternate aerodromes and the route to be flown. These will be provided through the NOTAMs.

Therefore, the FIRs concerned are the FIRs that include the:

  • departure airport
  • route to be flown
  • destination airport
  • alternate airports

Note: FIR of adjacent states refers to the FIRs across the route that are not part of the departure airport FIR. FIR of the whole continent of the departure aerodrome or of the whole state of the departure aerodrome is generally too broad for flight planning purposes.
