202 Flashcards
Forward the following to an IFR unit or sector:
- Revisions to previously passed data
- Control estimate time revisions of 3 minutes or more
ESTIMATE
The time, in UTC, at which an IFR aircraft is calculated, by either the controller, the pilot or through automated means, to arrive over a significant point.
ESTIMATED
An expression used within ATS when communicating an ATC estimate. This expression is used in conjunction with a place and a time.
ESTIMATING
An expression used within ATS when communicating a pilot estimate
Enter cleared altitude. When changed, the cleared altitude appears in ______ to indicate further action is required, unless the cleared altitude matches one of the following:
Yellow
▪ The flight-planned altitude
▪ The coordinated altitude
▪ FL290 in Martin High (the lowest-assignable altitude)
▪ FL280 in East Low and West Low (the highest-assignable altitude)
EQUIPMENT PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES
(a) COMM/NAV Equipment
INSERT one letter as follows:
N - if no COM/NAV/approach aid equipment for the route to be flown is carried, or the equipment is unserviceable
or
S - if standard COM/NAV/approach aid equipment for the route to be flown is carried and serviceable
and/or INSERT one or more of the following letters to indicate the serviceable COM/NAV/approach aid equipment and capabilities available:
D - DME
G - GNSS
R - PBN approved
S - Standard Equipment
W - RVSM approved
X - MNPS approved
Martin ACC EXCDS User Guide 1.7
Leave active FDEs in a “cocked” position if any one of the following conditions exists:
- Flight data and control information requiring relay to adjacent sectors/units or aircraft;
- Traffic estimates requiring integration into a sector;
- Estimates (pilot or controller) requiring verification; or
- Other potential situations requiring investigation or further action.
Note 1 The “cocking” of FDEs is an essential control technique used to remind controllers that some type of further action must be performed.
Note 2 The “cocking” of FDEs is optional when a mnemonic on the data tag performs the same function.
Martin ACC EXCDS User Guide 1.9
Do not remove an FDE from EXCDS until all appropriate action for that FDE has been executed and one of the following conditions has been met:
- For aircraft in ATS surveillance coverage:
◦ You observe that the aircraft has passed the fix posting and is clear of all possible conflicts at that posting.
◦ You have observed the aircraft leave your area of responsibility.
◦ All conflict resolution has been resolved and an electronic hand-off has been accomplished indicating successful transfer of control. - A subsequent position report has been received or the aircraft has been observed passing a subsequent fix posting.
- The aircraft has been estimated to have passed the first fix outside your area of responsibility.
- The aircraft has been estimated to have crossed the control boundary by the appropriate longitudinal minimum.
- The unit accepting control has indicated that the aircraft is within its area of responsibility.
- Control of the aircraft has been transferred to the tower.
- The aircraft has cancelled or closed its IFR flight plan or itinerary and any subsequent traffic information has been issued.
Agreement between Martin ACC and MSP Air Route Control Center
A. FLIGHT DATA EXCHANGE
A.1 The primary method of flight data exchange must be via automated means.
A.2 The preferred format for automated flight data exchange must be in accordance with established protocols.
A.3 Should the automated means be unavailable, control estimates must be passed at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the common boundary.

_____________ before an IFR or CVFR aircraft is estimated to enter an adjacent IFR unit’s area….
15 minutes or more before an IFR or CVFR aircraft is estimated to enter an adjacent IFR unit’s area, forward the flight data and control information indicated in Flight Data and Control Information
Pin: This time requirement may be increased or decreased by an agreement or arrangement
Pin: This may be accomplished electronically
- Aircraft identification
- Aircraft type
- Speed
- SSR Code Assignment
- Point of departure
- Remaining portion of the flight route
- Destination
- Estimated time and altitude over the last fix within the control area or other point agreed to by the concerned units
- Altitude of entry into the adjacent unit’s area
- Estimated time of arrival
- Clearance information
- The fact that an aircraft is a diversion
- Altitude requested
- Other information, as appropriate

Where units are connected by a functioning data transfer link…..
Where units are connected by a functioning data transfer link, aircraft type, speed, SSR code assignment, point of departure, remaining portion of the flight route, and destination do not require confirmation by controllers passing and receiving estimates. If amendments to this data have been made and are not included in the original flight plan message, controller confirmation is required.
Where units are connected by a functioning CAATS data link, amendments exchanged electronically….
do not require further coordination except as specified in “verbal coordination”
Flight data received from another unit via a functioning data transfer link must be processed by the receiving unit…
Flight data received from another unit via a functioning data transfer link must be processed by the receiving unit without any changes being made to the data, unless the change is depicted on all affected controllers’ flight progress strips.
Where a functioning CAATS data link provides control estimates, coordinate the following data verbally:
- Loss of RVSM certification due to an equipment failure in flight
- Status of a non–RVSM aircraft authorized to operate in RVSM airspace
- Identification of an altitude as wrong way
- Identification of block altitudes
- Identification of altitude readouts that are invalid or not validated
- Identification of cruise climb altitudes
- Automatic altitude reporting turned off
- Aircraft transponder unserviceable, malfunctioning, set to standby, or turned off
- The separation minima being applied in procedural airspace if less than 10 minutes longitudinal
- Aircraft operating within an altitude reservation or engaged in an aerial survey mapping flight, or test flight
- Aircraft engaged in a formation flight
If operation in RVSM airspace is authorized for a non-RVSM aircraft….
If operation in RVSM airspace is authorized for a non-RVSM aircraft, identify the status of the aircraft when passing and receiving a control estimate.
