5 LP Separation Flashcards
In air-traffic control, the spacing of an aircraft to achieve their safe and orderly movement in fight and while landing and taking off.
Separation
In radar or non-radar environment, aircraft can be separated how?
Vertically
Laterally
Longitudinally
The minimum longitudinal, lateral, or vertical distance by which aircraft are spaced through the application of air traffic control procedures
Separation minima
A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference Datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet.
Flight level
All aircraft operating at or above _________MSL shall have altimeter set at ________.
18,000
29.92
Minutes is always
Non radar
Is vertical separation Minnema the same in the radar environment as they are in the non-radar environment?
Yes. It’s the same in both
Vertical separation is expressed in ______
Feet
NEODD
SWEVEN
Mean what
North and east is odd
South and west is even
Separation between aircraft expressed in units of vertical distance.
Vertical separation
Vertical separation laws
Surface up to & including FL410 is
1,000
Except:
Between FL290 upto and including FL410- non-RVSM aircraft - 2,000ft
Vertical
Above FL410 up to & including FL600
2,000
Except:
In oceanic- above FL450- between supersonic and any other aircraft- 4,000ft
Vertical
Above FL600
5,000
RVSM
Reduced vertical separation Minima
What aircraft can be assigned altitude between FL290 and FL410 without RVSM and still requires ______ft vertical separation
- department of defense (DOD) aircraft
- DOD-certified aircraft operated by NASA
- MEDEVAC
- manufacturers aircraft being flown for certification and development
- foreign state aircraft
2,000ft
The lateral spacing of aircraft at the same altitude by requiring an operation on different routes or in different geographical locations
Lateral separation
Clear departing aircraft to fly specified headings which diverge by at least
(Non radar departure divergence)
45 degrees
The longitudinalspacing of aircraft at the same altitude buy a minimum distance expressed in units of time or miles
Longitudinal separation
Courses who’s protected airspace coincident, overlap, or intersect and who’s angular difference is less than 45°
Same courses
Intersecting courses whose angular difference is 45° through 135° inclusive
Crossing courses
Courses who’s protected airspaces are coincided, overlap, or intersect and whosr angular difference is greater than 135° through 180° inclusive
Opposite/reciprocal courses
The longitudinal spacing of aircraft at the same altitude by a minimum distance expressed in units of time or miles
Longitudinal separation
What is the standard minimum for non-radar longitudinal separation
10 min
20 miles
Can use 20 miles if they have DME
Non-radar is always?
Time
