201 - Martin Centre Airspace and Basic Procedures Flashcards
VOR
VHF Omnidirectional Range
DME
(Distance Measuring Equipment) - Airborne and ground equipment used to measure the slant range distance from a DME NAVAID in nautical miles.
FIX
A geographical location determined either by visual reference to the ground or by means of radio aids or other navigational devices.
DME FIX
A geographical position determined by reference to a NAVAID, which provides distance and azimuth information, and defined by a specified distance in nautical miles and a radial in degrees magnetic, true or grid from the NAVAID.
NDB
Non-directional beacon
GNSS
Global Navigation Satellite System
AGREEMENT
ATSAMM – Glossary
An administrative or operational accord between NAV CANADA and one or more outside parties regarding the provision of Air Traffic Services.
ARRANGEMENT
ATSAMM – Glossary
An administrative or operational accord between NAV CANADA units regarding the provision of Air Traffic Services.
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.
Do not apply separation between an aircraft and Class F airspace or a Canadian Military Operations Area (MOA) if one of the following applies:
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace
- The aircraft is operating in an ALTRV.
- The pilot states having obtained permission from the user agency to enter the airspace.
- The user agency releases the airspace to the controlling agency[1].
- 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 issue a 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.
Al the ORC
If a pilot operating in controlled airspace requests a clearance to penetrate Class F Advisory airspace or fly closer to it than separation minima would permit without permission from the user agency,
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > CYA Incursions
advise the pilot that you are unable to provide an IFR clearance. If the pilot insists on penetrating the Class F Advisory airspace[3] or flies closer to it than separation minima permit, issue an advisory.
What Information is in an Operations Directive?
ATSAMM > Unit Documentation > Local Operations Directives and Memos > Rules for Operations Directives and Staff Memos
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.
What Information is in a Staff Memo?
ATSAMM > Unit Documentation > Local Operations Directives and Memos > Rules for Operations Directives and Staff Memos
Staff memos are used for information of a non-operational nature, such as employee relations, unit housekeeping, and administrative practices.
Select altitude filters that include, as a minimum, the following limits:
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > ATS Surveillance Equipment > Situation Display > Altitude Filters
- The altitudes normally within the jurisdiction of your sector
- The first usable altitude in any vertically adjoining airspace under the jurisdiction of another controller, plus 200 feet beyond that altitude
- If the boundary between vertically adjoined sectors is in RVSM airspace, 2,000 feet plus 200 feet
PIN: This filter captures non-RVSM aircraft operating in proximity to the vertical sector boundary.
Comply with:
MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Unit Fundamentals > Publications
- Unit procedures (They may supplement, but not contradict, procedures in this manual.)
- Directives
- Information Bulletins
- Director Approval Letters (DAL)
- Information Circulars (AIC)
- Memorandums
- Agreements
- Arrangements
- Other items, as required
Apply vertical separation from the upper limit of a CYA as indicated in the tables below.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > Class F Advisory (CYA) > Vertical Separation from Upper Limit of a CYA
Apply vertical separation from the lower limit of a CYA as indicated in the tables below.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > Class F Advisory (CYA) > Vertical Separation from Lower Limit of a CYA
If not using ATS surveillance, ensure the protected airspace for the IFR or CVFR aircraft does not overlap the CYA.
If using ATS surveillance, ensure direct communication using VHF/UHF voice, and refer to the table below.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > Class F Advisory Airspace (CYA) > Lateral Separation with a CYA
Apply vertical separation with a CYR as indicated in the tables below.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > Class F Restricted Airspace (CYR) > Vertical Separation with a CYR
If not using ATS surveillance, ensure the protected airspace for the IFR or CVFR aircraft does not overlap the CYR.
If using ATS surveillance, ensure direct communication using VHF/UHF voice, and refer to the table below.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation from Special-Use Airspace > Canadian Class F Airspace > Class F Restricted Airspace (CYR) > Lateral Separation with a CYR
