(2) ATM - ADC Reduced Separations Flashcards
When may the standard separation be reduced in the vicinity of an AD? (3)
- Adequate separation can be provided by the aerodrome controller when each aircraft is continuously visible to this controller
- Each aircraft is continuously visible to flight crews of the other aircraft concerned and the pilots thereof report that they can maintain their own separation
- in the case of one aircraft following another, the flight crew of the succeeding aircraft reports that the other aircraft is in sight and separation can be maintained
What factors should be considered when completing a safety assessment for each runway to allow reduced separation minima? (3)
- Runway length
- AD layout
- Types / Categories of involved aircraft
When can reduced runway separation using the same runway be used? (1)
Reduced runway separation minima shall only be applied during the hours of daylight
(from 30 minutes after local sunrise to 30 minutes before local sunset)
For the purpose of reduced runway separation, aircraft shall be classified as? (3)
Category 1 aircraft
Single-engine prop - MTOM 2000kg<
Category 2 aircraft
Single-engine prop - MTOM 2001-6999kg
Twin-props - <7000kg
Category 3 aircraft
All other aircraft
Reduced runway separation minima shall not apply between a departing aircraft and a preceding landing aircraft. True or False?
True
What conditions shall reduced runway separation minima be subject to? (8)
- Wake turbulence separation minima shall be applied
- Visibility shall be at least 5km and cloud ceiling shall not be lower than 1000 feet
- Tailwind component shall not exceed 5kts
- There shall be available means, such as suitable landmarks, to assist the controller in assessing the distances between aircraft.
- A surface surveillance system is used
- Minimum separation continues to exist between two departing aircraft immediately after take-off of the second aircraft
- Traffic information shall be provided to the succeeding aircraft
- The braking action shall not be adversely affected by runway contaminants
