Question 1

EXCDS

Answer 1

EXtended Computer Display System

Question 2

FDEs

Answer 2

Flight Data Entries

Question 3

Forward the following to an IFR unit or sector:[4]

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Flight Data Coordination > IFR Unit to IFR Unit

Answer 3

• Revisions to previously passed data
• Control estimate time revisions of 3 minutes or more

This may be accomplished electronically

Question 4

Martin ACC SOM 201 D

Answer 4

30

Question 5

ESTIMATE

MATS ACC > Glossary

Answer 5

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.

Question 6

ESTIMATED

MATS ACC > Glossary

Answer 6

An expression used within ATS when communicating an ATC estimate. This expression is used in conjunction with a place and a time.

Question 7

ESTIMATING

MATS ACC > Glossary

Answer 7

An expression used within ATS when communicating a pilot estimate.

Question 8

FIX

MATS ACC > Glossary

Answer 8

A geographical location determined either by visual reference to the ground or by means of radio aids or other navigational devices.

Question 9

________ 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.

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Flight Data Coordination > IFR Unit to IFR Unit

Answer 9

15 minutes or more

Question 10

Where a functioning CAATS data link provides control estimates, coordinate the following data verbally:[5]

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Flight Data Coordination > IFR Unit to IFR Unit > Verbal Coordination

Answer 10

• 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

Question 11

If operation in RVSM airspace is authorized for a non-RVSM aircraft,

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Enroute Operations > Altitude > Altitude Instructions > RVSM

Answer 11

identify the status of the aircraft when passing and receiving a control estimate.[15]

Question 12

Except when using electronic means, when passing or receiving data for an IFR or CVFR flight, do the following:

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Flight Data Coordination > Reading Back Flight Data Transfer

Answer 12

1 Includes estimates, position reports, and revisions.

Question 13

When issuing or relaying an IFR clearance or IFR instruction or amendment, obtain an accurate readback unless one of the following applies:

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions > Issuing and Relaying > Obtaining Readbacks

Answer 13

• Information is relayed electronically.
• An arrangement specifies otherwise.[2]

Question 14

Flight Data and Control Table

Answer 14

Question 15

Where units are connected by a ________ , 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, ________ is required.
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.

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Flight Data Coordination > IFR Unit to IFR Unit

Answer 15

functioning data transfer link
controller confirmation
