INDICATED AIRSPEED
The uncorrected reading on the airspeed indicator.
MACH ADHERENCE
0.01
Within CDA, aircraft shall adhere to the Mach number assigned by ATC, to within 0.01 Mach, unless approval is obtained from ATC to make a change or until the pilot receives the initial descent clearance
approaching destination. If it is necessary to make an immediate temporary change in the Mach number (e.g. because of turbulence), ATC shall be notified as soon as possible that such a change has been
made.
If it is not possible to maintain the last assigned Mach number during enroute climbs and descents because of aircraft performance, pilots shall advise ATC at the time of the climb/descent request.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics
If the type of separation or the minimum used to separate aircraft cannot be maintained…
… take action to ensure that another type of separation exists, or another minimum is established, before the current separation becomes insufficient.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments > Expression of Speed Adjustments
Express the speed adjustment using either of the following methods:
- As a multiple of 10 knots, based on IAS
- If the aircraft is a turbojet operating in high-level airspace, as a Mach number
Factors that could affect traffic sequence include:
- The type of approach intended
- The types of aircraft and their relative performance
- Any specified minimum departure interval between takeoffs
- The routes to be followed after takeoff
- Wake turbulence separation minima
- Aircraft subject to ATFM

2% PER 1000FT OF ALTITUDE
GROUND SPEED
the speed of the aircraft over the surface of
the earth.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
If required to achieve or maintain required spacing or to minimize vectoring, instruct a pilot to adjust the aircraft’s speed.
When you issue a speed adjustment to an aircraft….
…, the pilot must comply within plus or minus ten knots of the specified speed.
SPEED ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES
*********
20 MILES OR MORE
10 000FT ASL + 250 IAS
10 000FT ASL - 210 IAS
SPEED ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES
******
LESS THAN 20 MILES
TURBOJET
150 IAS - USE ONLY WHEN REQUIRED OF SPACING ON FINAL APPROACH
160 IAS - PREFERRED WHEN ASSIGNING A SPEED TO CROSS THE FINAL FIX
PROPELLER
120 IAS
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments > Airspeed Limitations
*****
Do not approve a speed over 250 knots IAS below 10000 feet above sea level, but acknowledge a pilot who informs you of a requirement to operate above the CARs-regulated speed limitations for minimum safe speed requirements.
If a pilot reports or operates at a speed over 250 knots below 10000 feet above sea level and does not state that it is for minimum safe speed, inform the
operations duty manager.
TC AIM RAC 2.5.2 Aircraft Speed Limit Order
*****
According to CAR 602.32, no person shall operate an aircraft in Canada;
(a)below 10 000 ft ASL at more than 250 KIAS; or
(b)below 3 000 ft AGL within 10 NM of a controlled airport and at more than 200 KIAS, unless authorized to do so in an air traffic control clearance.
