The objective of the air traffic advisory service is to make information on (…) more effective than it would be in the mere provision of flight information service.
The objective of the air traffic advisory service is to make information on (collision hazards) more effective than it would be in the mere provision of flight information service.
Air traffic advisory service (does/does not) afford the degree of safety and (can/cannot) assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control service in respect of the avoidance of collisions.
Air traffic advisory service (does not) afford the degree of safety and (cannot) assume the same responsibilities as air traffic control service in respect of the avoidance of collisions.
To make this quite clear, air traffic advisory service does not deliver “clearances” but only “advisory information” and it uses the word “advise” or “suggest” when a course of action is proposed to an aircraft
A controller offering air trafic advisory service is (aware/may be unaware) of all traffic within his airspace.

Air traffic advisory service may be provided to aircraft conducting (VFR/IFR/both IFR and VFR) flights in advisory airspace or on advisory routes.
Air traffic advisory service may be provided to aircraft conducting (IFR) flights in advisory airspace or on advisory routes.
In advisory airspace, a controller will give (a clearance which must be followed/a suggestion of action).
In advisory airspace, a controller will give (a suggestion of action).
When a pilot receives a broadcast concerning the emergency descent of another aircraft, he shall:
a) continue according to current clearance and maintain listening watch on the frequency in use for any further instructions from the ATS unit; and
b) watch for (…).
When a pilot receives a broadcast concerning the emergency descent of another aircraft, he shall:
a) continue according to current clearance and maintain listening watch on the frequency in use for any further instructions from the ATS unit; and
b) watch for (conflicting traffic both visually and by reference to ACAS).
As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, action shall be taken to ascertain whether the aircraft is able to receive transmissions from the air traffic control unit by requesting it to (…) or to transmit, if possible, a specified signal in order to indicate acknowledgement.
As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, action shall be taken to ascertain whether the aircraft is able to receive transmissions from the air traffic control unit by requesting it to (execute a specified manoeuvre which can be observed by an ATS surveillance system) or to transmit, if possible, a specified signal in order to indicate acknowledgement.
As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, appropriate information describing the action taken by the air traffic control unit, or instructions justified by any emergency situation, shall be transmitted blind for the attention of the aircraft concerned, on the frequencies (121.5 MHz/122.8 MHz/243 Mhz/on which the aircraft is believed to be listening).
As soon as it is known that two-way communication has failed, appropriate information describing the action taken by the air traffic control unit, or instructions justified by any emergency situation, shall be transmitted blind for the attention of the aircraft concerned, on the frequencies (on which the aircraft is believed to be listening).
A strayed aircraft has (…) or (…).
A strayed aircraft has (deviated significantly from its intended track) or (reports that it is lost).
An unidentified aircraft has been observed or reported to be operating in a given area but (…).
An unidentified aircraft has been observed or reported to be operating in a given area but (the identity has not been established).
An aircraft in an emergency or other urgent situations may need to dump fuel so as to (…).
An aircraft in an emergency or other urgent situations may need to dump fuel so as to (reduce to maximum landing mass in order to effect a safe landing).
When an aircraft operating within controlled airspace needs to dump fuel, the flight crew shall advise ATC. The ATC unit should then coordinate with the flight crew the following:
a) the route to be flown, which, if possible, should be clear of (…), preferably (…) and away from areas where thunderstorms have been reported or are expected;
b) the level to be used, which should be not less than (5000/6 000/10 000/12 000) ft; and
c) the duration of the fuel dumping.
When an aircraft operating within controlled airspace needs to dump fuel, the flight crew shall advise ATC. The ATC unit should then coordinate with the flight crew the following:
a) the route to be flown, which, if possible, should be clear of (cities and towns), preferably (over water) and away from areas where thunderstorms have been reported or are expected;
b) the level to be used, which should be not less than (6 000) ft; and
c) the duration of the fuel dumping.
An ATC unit may instruct an aircraft to (permanently/temporarily) change its type of RTF call sign, in the interests of safety, when similarity between two or more aircraft RTF call signs are such that confusion is likely to occur. This (may/may not) be done after a flight plan has already been accepted.

The term ‘AIRPROX’ is (…).
The term ‘AIRPROX’ is (The code word used in an air traffic incident report to designate aircraft proximity).
An air traffic incident report shall be submitted, normally to the (operator/authority/air traffic services unit concerned), for incidents specifically related to the provision of (…) involving such occurrences as aircraft proximity (AIRPROX), or other serious difficulty resulting in a hazard to aircraft, caused by, among others, faulty procedures, non-compliance with procedures, or failure of ground facilities.
