201 - Martin Airspace and Basic Procedures

Question 1

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > ATS Surveillance Equipment > Situation Display > Altitude Filters

Answer 1

• Select altitude filters that include, as a minimum, the following limits:
  o The altitudes normally within the jurisdiction of your sector
  o The first usable altitude in any vertically adjoining airspace under the jurisdiction of another controller, plus 200 feet beyond that altitude
  o If the boundary between vertically adjoined sectors is in RVSM airspace, 2,000 feet plus 200 feet

Question 2

MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Unit Fundamentals > Publications Comply with

Answer 2

Publications Comply with:

Unit procedures (They may supplement, but not contradict, procedures in this manual.)
* Directives
* Information Bulletins
* Director Approval Letters (DAL)
* Information Circulars (AIC)
* Memorandums
* Agreement
* Arrangements
* Other items, as required

Question 3

ATSAMM > Unit Documentation > Local Operations Directives and Memos > Rules for Operations Directives and Staff Memos

Answer 3

• The unit manager is responsible to follow the Issue Unit Directives mandatory process to develop and issue direction and information required for the efficient administration and operation of the unit in one of the following ways:
  o Operations directive
  o Staff memo

Question 4

What Information is in an Operations Directive?

Answer 4

Operations directives may supplement but not contradict MATS, and are used for information related to any of the following:
* Provision of air traffic services
* Operation of aircraft, such as aircraft operating characteristics
* Amendment of current operations directives or unit documentation
* Annual reminders about seasonal operations such as snow removal, de-icing, forest firefighting, thunderstorm procedures, or runway maintenance.

Question 5

What Information is in a Staff Memo?

Answer 5

Staff memos are used for information of a non-operational nature, such as employee relations, unit housekeeping, and administrative practices.

Question 6

Glossary term – NOTAM

Answer 6

NOTAM (notice to airmen) - A notice distributed by means of telecommunication containing information concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations

Question 7

MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace

Answer 7

Do not apply separation between an aircraft and Class F airspace or a Canadian Military Operations Area (MOA) if one of the following applies:
o The aircraft is operating in an ALTRV.
o The pilot states having obtained permission from the user agency to enter the airspace.
o The user agency releases the airspace to the controlling agency[1].
o The pilot has been cleared for a contact or visual approach.
 1. The DAH states the times that Class F airspace is active. A user agency may release an area in part or in total when not in use to a controlling agency. In such cases, ATC may advise the aircraft that the airspace is inactive and issuea clearance. Such provisions for release should be contained in an agreement between the user and controlling agency. Areas released use assume the same airspace classification as the surrounding airspace

Question 8

What is the vertical seperation from a CYA

Answer 8

500 ft (however use wake turbulence separation minimum of 1000ft)

Question 9

List the types of activities found in a restricted airspace

Answer 9

(A) Acrobatic
(F) Aircraft test area
(H) Hang gliding
(M) Military operations
(P) Parachuting
(S) Soaring
(T) Training
