Q

COMPULSORY REPORTING POINT

A

A reporting point over which an aircraft must report to ATC. Such points are designated on aeronautical charts by solid triangles or filed in a flight plan (FP) as fixes selected to define direct routes. These points are geographical locations that are defined by NAVAIDs or fixes.

A

If issuing a clearance where a position report over a non-compulsory reporting point is required, include the request for the report in the clearance.

Pin: When requesting position reports for fixes that have not been flight planned, aircraft equipment limitations should be considered. If aircraft are equipped with standard navigation equipment, requests should be limited to fixes depicted on navigational charts appropriate to the airspace

Q

Base control decisions on…

A

Base control decisions on ATC estimates and aircraft performance. Verify the estimate and aircraft performance using position reports over fixes, or as determined by radio aids, ATS surveillance, RNAV, or visual means that accurately define the position of the aircraft.

Pin:
CAATS-generated times are considered ATC estimates. Although estimates are system-generated, controllers are not relieved of the responsibility for ensuring estimates are accurate

15
Q

TC AIM RAC 8.1 > Position Reports

As specified in CAR 602.125 — Enroute IFR Position Reports, the position report shall include the information in the sequence set out in the CFS, that is:

A

(a) the identification;
(b) the position;
(c) the time over the reporting point in UTC;
(d) the altitude or flight level;
(e) the type of flight plan or flight itinerary filed;
(f) the name of the next designated reporting point and ETA over that point in UTC;
(g) the name only of the next reporting point along the route of flight; and
(h) any additional information requested by ATC or deemed necessary by the pilot.

16
Q

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:

A
  1. Check the accuracy of the ATC estimate.
  2. If a discrepancy remains, request the pilot to check the aircraft estimate.
  3. If a discrepancy still exists, take appropriate action to ensure that separation is not compromised.
16
Q

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:

A
  • 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 crossed the control boundary by the appropriate longitudinal minimum
17
Q

When the pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft is informed that the aircraft has been RADAR IDENTIFIED….

A

When the pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft is informed that the aircraft has been RADAR IDENTIFIED, position reports over compulsory reporting points are no longer required. Pilots will be informed when to resume normal position reporting.

18
Q

When separating aircraft, the estimated time may not be correct. If an expected report does not arrive and flight safety is likely to be jeopardized….

A

When separating aircraft, the estimated time may not be correct. If an expected report does not arrive and flight safety is likely to be jeopardized, obtain the report no more than 5 minutes after the estimated time over a reporting point. Otherwise, obtain the report as soon as feasible.

19
Q

If an aircraft is in an emergency phase as described in Emergency Phases…

A

If an aircraft is in an emergency phase as described in Emergency Phases, inform the ACC shift manager and other appropriate agencies.

20
Q

Emergency Phases

Uncertainty Phase

Aircraft enters the phase when:

A

Aircraft enters the phase when:

No communication is recieved from the earlier of either off the following times:

  • within 30 minutes after communication should have been received from an aircraft
  • when an unsuccessful attempt to establish communication with such aircraft was first made
21
Q

The 6 minute rule for calculating aircraft positions

A

You can calculate where an aircraft is by using the six-minute rule. Every six minutes an aircraft travels 1/10th of its speed. Basically the first two numbers of his speed. In six minutes, a PA31 at 180 kt travels 18 NM, a turboprop at 260 kt will travel 26 NM. This is useful for quick estimates and for awkward calculations, like speeds of 265 kt (26.5 miles/6 minutes).

22
Q

RECIPROCAL TRACK

A

In the application of separation, a term used to indicate tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 136° to 180° inclusive

23
Q

In an ATS surveillance environment, discontinue vertical separation as detailed in ATS Surveillance Separation For Aircraft on Reciprocal Tracks. In a procedural environment….

A

In an ATS surveillance environment, discontinue vertical separation as detailed in ATS Surveillance Separation For Aircraft on Reciprocal Tracks. In a procedural environment, you may discontinue vertical separation based on one of the factors indicated in Discontinuing Vertical Separation in Procedural Airspace. In a mixed environment, the distance of an identified aircraft from the common point, as determined by an RBL or the DME estimate function, may be used in lieu of a DME or GNSS position report.

Q

  • NAVAID Passage
  • DME and/or GNSS Passage
25
Q

MATS ACC > Separation > Vertical Separation > Vertical Separation For Aircraft on Reciprocal Tracks

Discontinuing Vertical Separation in Procedural Airspace (Reciprocal Tracks)

NAVAID Passage

A
  • Both pilots have reported passing over the same ground-based NAVAID
  • If at FL180 or above, the aircraft are two minutes apart
26
Q

MATS ACC > Separation > Vertical Separation > Vertical Separation For Aircraft on Reciprocal Tracks

Discontinuing Vertical Separation in Procedural Airspace (Reciprocal Tracks)

DME and/or GNSS Passage

A
  • DME and/or GNSS reports, determined in relation to a common point, indicate that the aircraft have passed and are 5 miles apart
  • The outbound aircraft, if utilizing DME, is 15 miles or more from the DME facility

If the outbound aircraft from the common point is /G equipped, slant range is not a factor.

27
Q

COMMON POINT

A

A point on the surface of the earth common to the tracks of two or more aircraft, used as a basis for applying separation (e.g., significant point, waypoint, NAVAID, or fix)

28
Q

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:

A
  1. Check the accuracy of the ATC estimate.
  2. If a discrepancy remains, request the pilot to check the aircraft estimate.
  3. If a discrepancy still exists, take appropriate action to ensure that separation is not compromised.
