402-1 Flashcards
If identification becomes doubtful or is lost, immediately do either of the following:
- Identify or re-identify the aircraft using the same technique more than once or use more than one of the techniques provided in Identification Methods.
- Terminate ATS surveillance service and apply procedural separation.
Identification may be doubtful due to:
- The position or movement of other aircraft
- The observation of more than one aircraft responding to an identification instruction
- Temporary loss of PPS
- Coasting of PPS
- Merging of PPS
- Ambiguous PPS
- Display Clutter
- Other circumstances
Provide traffic information to all concerned aircraft if any of the following apply:
- You clear an aircraft to maintain at least 1000 feet on top.
- You clear an IFR aircraft to fly in accordance with VFR.
- Multiple aircraft are holding at the same fix and are separated by the vertical separation minimum.
TRAFFIC ( aircraft type ) HOLDING AT ( fix ) MAINTAINING ( altitude ) - A pilot requests it.
- A pilot acknowledges an avoidance instruction.
- You consider it necessary.
When issuing traffic information to aircraft, as appropriate, include:
- Position of aircraft
- Direction of flight
- Type of aircraft or relative speed
- Altitude of aircraft
- Reporting point and time
- Other information
Passing Traffic
Reporting Point and Time
For traffic outside ATS surveillance coverage, estimate for the point at which the aircraft will pass, overtake, or approach if appropriate
Time now is 1240Z
ALFA BRAVO CHARLIE, TRAFFIC TWO-SEVEN MILES WEST OF DUSTY V-O-R, EASTBOUND CARAVAN NINER THOUSAND ESTIMATED DUSTY V-O-R AT ONE-TWO-FIVE-ZERO.
MIKE KILO ALFA, TRAFFIC ONE-EIGHT MILES EAST OF DUSTY V-O-R, WESTBOUND NAVAJO ONE-ZERO THOUSAND, ESTIMATED DUSTY V-O-R AT ONE-TWO-FOUR-SIX.
COMPULSORY REPORTING POINT
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.
POSITION REPORT
A report over a known location as transmitted by an aircraft. Also called: position reporting and progress report.
TC AIM RAC 1.5.2 Procedures
Before providing radar service, ATC will….
Before providing radar service, ATC will establish identification of the aircraft concerned either through the use of position reports, identifying turns, or transponders. Pilots will be notified whenever radar identification is established or lost.
TC AIM RAC 8.1 > Position Reports
Pilots of IFR and CVFR flights are required….
Pilots of IFR and CVFR flights are required to make position reports over compulsory reporting points specified on IFR charts, and over any other reporting points specified by ATC.
CARs 602.125 > Enroute IFR Position Reports
(1) The pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall transmit….
(2)
(1) The pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall transmit position reports over compulsory reporting points specified on an IFR chart unless advised by the appropriate air traffic control unit that the aircraft is radar-identified.
(2) A position report transmitted pursuant to subsection (1) shall contain the information specified by the Minister in the Canada Flight Supplement.
If issuing a clearance where a position report….
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
Do not request an _______ aircraft to make…
Do not request an identified aircraft to make compulsory position reports unless you deem it necessary for control purposes.
If an enroute aircraft operating within the Altimeter Setting Region makes a position report via direct communication, issue the _________________________ for:
If an enroute aircraft operating within the Altimeter Setting Region makes a position report via direct communication, issue the current altimeter setting for:
- The station over which the aircraft reports
- The next station along the route of flight
Before terminating ATS surveillance service…
Before terminating ATS surveillance service, instruct a pilot to resume position reporting.
RESUME POSITION REPORTS. SURVEILLANCE SERVICE TERMINATED.
