Q

Where ATSUs provide both flight information service and air traffic control service, which takes precedence? (1)

A

ATC Service

17
Q

What shall be included with FIS? (9)

A
  • SIGMET & AIRMET information
  • Volcanic activity, eruptions, ash clouds
  • Release of chemicals into atmosphere
  • Availability of radio nav services
  • Any AD changes - weather, Serviceability
  • Unmanned balloons
  • Any other info
  • Collision hazards to A/C operating in Class C D E F G
  • Flights over water
18
Q

When would information related to collision hazards be passed? (2)

A
  • Information relating to collision hazards includes only known activities that constitute risks to the aircraft concerned
  • Air traffic services cannot assume responsibility for its issuance at all times or for its accuracy
19
Q

Who is responsible for providing FIS? (2)

A
  • Within FIR:
    By a FIC, unless responsibility for providing such services is assigned to an ATC unit having adequate facilities for the exercise of such responsibilities
  • Within controlled airspace / controlled ADs:
    By the relevant ATC units
20
Q

How can Information be disseminated to aircraft? (4)

A
  • Directed transmission on the initiative of the appropriate ATS unit to an aircraft ensuring that receipt is acknowledged
  • A general call, unacknowledged transmission to all aircraft concerned
  • Broadcast
  • Data link
21
Q

What is VOLMET? (3)

A
  • Meteorological information for aircraft in flight
  • HF & VHF radio transmitted from regional broadcasts
  • Automated voice transmission (continuous loop) of: TAF, SIGMET, METAR
22
Q

What types of ATIS are there? (3)

A
  • ATIS
  • D-ATIS
  • Voice-ATIS
23
Q

When shall an Alerting service be provided? (4)

A
  1. For all aircraft provided with air traffic control service
  2. In so far as practicable, to all other aircraft having filed a flight plan or otherwise known to the air traffic services
  3. To any aircraft known or believed to be the subject of unlawful interference
  4. An alerting service is provided to notify appropriate organisations regarding aircraft in need of SAR aid and assist such organisations as required
24
Q

What is an Air Traffic Advisory Service? (1)

A

A service provided within advisory airspace to ensure separation, insofar as practicable, between aircraft which are operating on IFR flight plans

25
What is **Advisory Airspace**? (1)
An airspace of defined dimensions, or designated route, within which air traffic advisory service is available
26
What is an **Advisory Route**? (1)
A designated route along which air traffic advisory service is available
27
What are the **objectives** of Air Traffic Advisory Service? (2)
- To make information on collision hazards more effective than it would be in the mere provision of FIS - May be provided to aircraft conducting IFR flights in advisory airspace or on advisory routes (Class F airspace)
28
**Where** should an **Air Traffic Advisory Service** be implemented? (3)
- The air traffic services are inadequate for providing an ATCS - The limited advice on collision hazards provided by a FIS will not meet the requirement - It should be considered a temporary measure only until such time as it can be replaced by an air traffic control service ATCS. (generally 3 years maximum.)
29
What does an **Advisory Service** not provide? (4)
- Offer the same degree of safety or assume the same responsibilities as an ATCS - Information available to the unit providing the advisory service may be incomplete - The advisory service does not deliver **“clearances”** but only **“advisory information”** - It uses the words **“advise”** or **“suggest"** when a course of action is proposed to an aircraft
30
When using the Air Traffic Advisory service, aircraft shall comply with the same procedures as those applying to controlled flights except... (3)
- The flight (or changes) is not subject to a clearance - The aircraft shall decide whether-or-not to act on advice issued but it shall inform the unit of its decision - Air-ground contacts shall be made with the air traffic services unit designated to provide air traffic advisory service within the advisory airspace or portion thereof
31
When not using the Air Traffic Advisory service but operating IFR in advisory airspace:
32
What should IFR flights do if they intend to cross an Advisory route? (2)
- As nearly as possible at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction of the route - At a level, appropriate to its track, selected from the tables of cruising levels prescribed for use by IFR flights operating outside controlled airspace
33
What shall an ATSU advise, when providing air traffic advisory service provide?
**Advise A/C to:** - Depart at the time specified - Cruise at the levels indicated in the flight plan - If it does not foresee any conflict with other known traffic
