A

A STAR can designate multiple lateral routes, dependent on the runway in use, for an aircraft to fly from various points along the en route phase of flight to the approach phase with little or no ATC intervention. These lateral routes (referred to as transitions) are listed on the STAR chart and may include instructions for management of the vertical profile.

A

Altitude restrictions may be included in the STAR. Although an aircraft is expected to follow the charted lateral track of the cleared STAR without further ATC clearance, as per the flight-planned/cleared route, such is not the case with the STAR vertical profile; ATC has to issue descent clearance, and when a lower altitude is issued, pilots shall descend on the STAR profile to the ATC-assigned altitude. Unless specially cancelled by ATC, all charted restrictions above the assigned altitude on the STAR remain mandatory.

A

Consider an aircraft to have been cleared for the STAR if the STAR is included in the routing portion of the flight plan.

Clearance for the STAR allows the aircraft to follow the lateral track only, descent clearance must be received from ATC. Clear an aircraft flying a STAR for descent in sufficient time to meet any published altitude restriction. Pilots are required to comply with all published altitude and speed restrictions at or above the cleared altitude unless specifically cancelled by ATC.

Pilots hearing the broadcast should inform the ATC/FSS unit on initial contact that they have received the information, by repeating the code letter that identifies the message, thus obviating the need for the controller/specialist to issue information. Example: …WITH BRAVO.

The success and effectiveness of ATIS is largely dependent upon the co-operation and participation of airspace users; therefore, pilots are strongly urged to take full advantage of this service.

30
Q

A

Except as provided for in Enhanced Wake Separation and Time-Based Separation (TBS), base wake separation minima on the four standard wake turbulence categories.

For wake turbulence separation and cautionaries
- A boeing 757 is a heavy when it is the leading aircraft
- An ultralight aircraft is a light
- Any motorized aircraft is a heavy when it precedes a glider or a balloon

34
Q

TC AIM AIR 2.9

Wake turbulence is caused by…

A

Wake turbulence is caused by wing tip vortices and is a by-product of lift. The higher air pressure under the wings tries to move to the lower air pressure on top of the wings by flowing towards the wing tips where it rotates and flows into the lower pressure on top of the wings. This results in a twisting rotary motion which is very pronounced at the wing tips and continues to spill over the top in a downward spiral. Therefore, the wake consists of two counter-rotating cylindrical vortices.

35
Q

TC AIM AIR 2.9

Vortex Strength

A

The strength of these vortices is governed by the shape of the wings, and the weight and the speed of the aircraft; the most significant factor is weight. The greatest vortex strength occurs under conditions of heavy weight, clean configuration, and slow speed. The strength of the vortex shows little dissipation at altitude within 2 min of the time of initial formation. Beyond 2 min, varying degrees of dissipation occur along the vortex path; first in one vortex and then in the other. The break-up of vortices is affected by atmospheric turbulence; the greater the turbulence, the more rapid the dissipation of the vortices.

36
Q

MATS ACC > Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation

CSiT and NARDS are both operationally certified ATS surveillance display systems….

A

CSiT and NARDS are both operationally certified ATS surveillance display systems that can be used to apply the appropriate separation minima provided in this section. CSiT is the primary display, and NARDS is the auxiliary.

If both aircraft are identified, and you are in direct communication using VHF/UHF voice with at least one aircraft, do not permit PPSs to touch.

Apply ATS surveillance separation between the centres of PPSs as indicated in ATS Surveillance Separation Conditions. When providing ATS surveillance control service a wake turbulence separation standard is required.

37
Q

there are several ATS surveillance separation standards. The number of miles you can use between aircraft is determined by several considerations such as:

A
  • Type of surveillance source
  • Type of Air Traffic Control Service offered
  • Amount of airspace displayed
  • Distance from a radar site
38
Q

MATS ACC > Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation

3 Mile ATS Surveillance Separation Conditions

A
  • You provide terminal control service
  • CSiT or NARDS displays a maximum range of 120 miles from left to right
  • The ATS surveillance sources include MLAT/WAM, DND-NG, RSE but do not include DND-NWS
  • Altitude readouts are displayed for both aircraft, or both aircraft are at or below 15000 feet ASL
  • Aircraft are no farther than 80 miles from the ATS surveillance source
39
Q

PRESENT POSITION SYMBOL (PPS)

A

The visual indication, in symbolic form, on a situation display, of the position of an aircraft, aerodrome vehicle, or other object obtained after automatic processing of positional data

40
Q

Range Bearing Line and Halo Function

A

The Range Bearing Line (RBL) and Halo function can be used to assist in determining the separation between PPSs. The distances provided by RBL are measured from centre to centre of the PPSs. The radius of the halo is user‑selectable and does not vary with range.

41
Q

Apply the appropriate wake turbulence separation minimum between the following aircraft:

A
  • Two identified IFR aircraft, unless the required ATS surveillance separation minimum is greater than the wake turbulence separation minimum

Pin: All arrival and enroute procedural separation standards provide wake turbulence separation

  • An aircraft receiving ATS surveillance control service and any other identified aircraft with a verified type and altitude
42
Q

When applying wake turbulence separation with ATS surveillance, use a minimum indicated in the table below for any of the following situations:

A
  • An aircraft is operating at the same altitude in front of another aircraft
  • An aircraft is crossing an altitude in front of another aircraft
  • A VFR aircraft that is in the super, heavy, or a heavier category is on final ahead of an IFR aircraft.
  • An aircraft is ahead of an aircraft that is conducting an instrument approach
  • An aircraft is being vectored unless visual separation is established.

MATS ACC > Separation > Wake Turbulence Separation > Wake Cautionaries

In addition to the information detailed above, issue a cautionary as indicated in any of the following situations:

A
  • You observe that an identified aircraft will have less than the appropriate wake turbulence separation from a leading heavier aircraft.
  • A potential hazard exists due to wake turbulence.
51
Q

MATS ACC > Separation > Wake Turbulence Separation > Standard Wake Separation

Be aware of the possible hazards caused by wake turbulence. If you judge it necessary[1], you may do any of the following:

A
  • Increase a wake turbulence separation minimum.
  • Apply a wake turbulence separation minimum for a situation that is not covered by a specific minimum.
  • Issue a cautionary.
  • Provide wake-avoidance information to any lighter aircraft that is following another aircraft. The wake vortex zone is indicated in Wake Vortex Zone Created by In-Flight Aircraft.4]

Issues to consider:
* Calm winds and stable air
* Crosswind or tailwind that might hold a vortex on a runway or cause it to drift to another runway
