Jerricho and 1261
I've got a handle on US domestic airspace stuff. I'm looking for guidance from fellow PPRUNErs on non US terminology.
US Enroute Control Center (ARTCC, cat A airspace typically) = ICAO FIR?
US Terminal Control Area (TCA, cat B airspace) = ICAO TMA?
US Airport Radar Service Area (ARSA, category C airspace) = ICAO CTA?
US Airport Traffic Area (ATA, Cat D airspace) = ICAO ATZ?
But I do not fully understand the air traffic services available, or to put it from a pilot point of view, I do not fully understand what my obligations are as a pilot. Do I automatically make pos reports? Do I expect radar service? Is the airspace prohibited to VFR aircraft? Are all aircraft in the airspace known to ATC (in theory?)
Thanks already, and thanks in advance, for your answers.
