Q
According to MATS 1, what is a loss of separation and what are a controllers actions when faced with this situation?
A
If, for any reason, a controller is faced with a situation in which two or more aircraft are separated by less than the prescribed minima, e.g. ATC errors or differences in the pilots estimated and actual times over reporting points, they are to:
1) Use every means at their disposal to obtain the required minimum with the least possible delay; and
2) When considered practicable, pass traffic information if an ATS surveillance service is being provided, otherwise, pass essential traffic information.
