Terminav
Flight Profile
Trajectory or its graphic representation, followed by an aircraft in flight and defined by its altitude, speed, distance flown and
manoeuvre
There are four aircraft states:
(flight profile)
- Pre-taxi (proposed flight plan)
- Taxi
- Airborne
- Arrived
DIRECT ROUTINGS
Advantages
- Avoid known weather situations
- Reduced fuel burn due to shorter distance flown
- Take advantage of aircraft navigational capability
- Conflict resolution (other aircraft or reserved airspace such as CYR496)
- Providing better service
DIRECT ROUTINGS
Disadvantages
- More difficulty spotting conflicts since FDEs are often posted at positions that the flights may be abeam rather than over
- Greater monitoring requirements: clear of class F airspace; flight leaving surveillance; other traffic; changes to the FDE; increased MEAs (low level); flight going out of controlled airspace (low level),etc.
- Verbal coordination will be required if external sector or unit affected is within 30 NM boundary (MARTIN ACC SOM)
- With CAATS, the flight profile must be updated by the controller
which adds to the workload
MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions > Amending Clearances or Instructions > Amending a Route
You may amend the route provided in a previous clearance by doing one of the following:
- State the route amendment and, if applicable, that the rest of the route is unchanged.
- Issue the entire route.
MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions > Issuing and Relaying > Correcting a Clearance or Instruction
Identify and correct any errors made during delivery of a clearance or instruction.
If there is any possibility of misunderstanding, cancel and restate the clearance in full.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics > Control Estimates
Use aircraft estimates to verify ATC estimates. If a discrepancy exists between an aircraft estimate and an ATC estimate for the same reporting point, and separation could be affected:
- Check the accuracy of the ATC estimate.
- If a discrepancy remains, request the pilot to check the aircraft estimate.
- If a discrepancy still exists, take appropriate action to ensure that separation is not compromised.
MATS ACC > Separation > Longitudinal Separation
Separate aircraft longitudinally:
- By a minimum expressed in time or distance
- So that the spacing between the estimated positions of the aircraft is never less than a prescribed minimum
Example
If a slower leading aircraft is estimated at a fix 10 minutes ahead of a faster trailing aircraft, establish vertical separation before or at the time the leading aircraft is estimated at the fix.
MATS ACC > Separation > Longitudinal Separation > Time-Based Longitudinal Separation
Establish time-based longitudinal separation using one of the following methods:
- By clearing an aircraft to depart at a specified time
- By clearing an aircraft to cross a specified fix at a specified time
- By clearing an aircraft to hold at a fix until a specified time
- By clearing an aircraft to reverse heading
- On the basis of position reports, provided that one of the following applies:
◦ Both aircraft have reported over the same reporting point.
◦ The trailing aircraft has confirmed not yet reaching the reporting point
used by the leading aircraft.
MATS ACC > Separation > RNPC Separation > Longitudinal RNPC Separation > Time-Based RNPC Longitudinal Separation
When applying time-based longitudinal separation, separate RNPC-certified aircraft on same or crossing tracks by a minimum of…
… 10 minutes
MATS ACC > Separation > RNPC Separation > Longitudinal RNPC Separation > Distance-Based RNPC Longitudinal Separation
When applying distance-based longitudinal separation, separate RNPC-certified aircraft on the same track or crossing tracks by a minimum of 30 miles, and:
- Maintain direct communication using VHF/UHF voice.
- Using RNAV or ATS surveillance from a common point, determine distance and ensure that the required separation is maintained or increased.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
You may terminate vectoring of an aircraft, provided any of the following apply to the aircraft:
- It is cleared for an approach.
- It is cleared to hold.
- It is established on a cleared route without requiring navigation assistance
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
Inform the pilot of:
Inform the pilot of:
* Termination of vectoring, except when the aircraft has been cleared for an approach
* Position of the aircraft when vectoring is terminated, unless you know the pilot has the information.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
When an aircraft has been vectored off its cleared route…
clear the aircraft to the next waypoint or fix on its route of flight, or vector the aircraft back to a point on its original route.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring for the Approach > Vectoring to Intercept the Final Approach Course
Vector an aircraft to intercept the final approach course..
- At an angle of 30° or less
- 2 miles or more from the point at which final descent will begin
