106 Flashcards
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring
Vector an aircraft if any of following apply:
- It is necessary for separation.
- It is required for noise abatement procedures.
- You or the aircraft will gain an operational advantage.
- The pilot requests it.
PTL, RBL, and PIV functions may be used to determine that a turn has been
initiated.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Position Information > Navigation Assistance
Unless specifically prohibited…
use ATS surveillance to provide navigation assistance if a pilot requests it
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Initiation
If you initiate vectoring, inform the pilot of the following:
- The purpose of vectors and/or the point to which the aircraft is being vectored
- That the aircraft’s SID or STAR
is cancelled, if applicable
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring
Before vectoring an aircraft
ensure that it can be established on the cleared route without requiring navigation assistance while within ATS surveillance coverage.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Methods
Vector an aircraft by specifying one of the following:
- The heading to be flown
- The direction of the turn and the heading to be flown after completion of the turn
- The direction of the turn and the number of degrees to turn
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance
When vectoring, ensure the following:
- Provide aircraft with adequate terrain clearance by assigning altitudes at or above a minimum IFR altitude specified for the area within which they are being vectored.
- Follow unit procedures to assign cold temperature corrected minimum IFR altitudes, if applicable
MATS ACC > Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation From a Prominent Obstruction
When an aircraft is at an established minimum vectoring altitude that does not provide adequate clearance above a prominent obstruction, vector the aircraft by one of the following minima:
- 5 miles, if the position of the obstruction is indicated on CSiT or NARDS
- 3 miles, if the following apply:
◦ You provide terminal control service.
◦ The ATS surveillance sources include MLAT/WAM, DND-NG, or RSE but do not include DND-NWS.
◦ CSiT or NARDS displays a maximum range of 120 miles from left to right.
◦ The obstruction is enclosed within a circular buffer that is indicated on CSiT or NARDS. (Vectoring an Aircraft Past an Obstruction)
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
You may terminate vectoring of an aircraft, provided any of the following apply to the aircraft:
- It is cleared for an approach.
- It is cleared to hold.
- It is established on the cleared route without requiring navigation assistance.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Position Information
Inform the pilot of the aircraft’s position when any of the following apply:
- Identification is established by an identifying turn.
- Vectoring is terminated, unless you know the pilot has the information.
- The pilot requests the information.
- You deem it necessary.
Describe the position of an aircraft in relation to a fix, airway, course, or radial
indicated on the situation display
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
Inform the pilot of…
- Termination of vectoring, except when the aircraft has been cleared for an approach
- Position of the aircraft when vectoring is terminated, unless you know the pilot has the information.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
When an aircraft has been vectored off its cleared route…
Where cleared?
… clear the aircraft to the next waypoint or fix on its route of flight, or vector the aircraft back to a point on its original route.
