7110 Review Flashcards
Purpose of ATC systems
To prevent collision
Additional services
Not optional if ATC is busy
Priority
Exceptions MED, EVAC, SAR, emergency (not min fuel)
IMMEDIATE
Avoid imminent situation
EXPEDITE
Prompt compliance IF time permits, give reason
Safety alert
First DUTY priority
Terrain/obstruction and aircraft conflict alert
“Low Altitude ALERT, check your altitude immediately”
Soliciting PIREP if 5000 ft ceiling or lower, visibility 5 or less, moderate turbulence
“REQUEST flight conditions”
Calm wind
Less than 3 knots
Minimum fuel
Not emergency or proximity handling
Eliminate all potential conflicts before transferring aircraft
Vectoring in another controller’s airspace required coordination
Transfer radio communications
Prior to entering adjacent controller’s airspace
Traffic advisories
Traffic, clock, miles, direction, type, ALTITUDE
Aircraft Identification #1
Abbreviate call sign November or model last 3 digits
Aircraft Identification #2
Bonanza niner niner four three six - correct
Aircraft Identification #3
American one hundred - correct
ATIS
“Verify you have information ______”
Phraseology
“Radar service terminated”
Mode C invalid is differs by more than 300 feet - first observed phraseology
PHRASEOLOGY “LOCATION altimeter, 2992, verify altitude”
Beacon codes
Radio failure 7600
Using turns to radar
Identify minimum 30 degrees
Inform aircraft position
When radar contact is established via identifying turns or beacon method
Radar contact
Initial radar id and subsequent to loss (if reestablished) BOTH
HANDOFF
Radar identification and radio communication are both transferred
SEPERATION from other aircraft and from obstructions #1
3 miles within 40 miles of antenna
SEPERATION from other aircraft and from obstructions #2
5 miles for 40 miles or more from antenna
Vertical separation discontinued projected path have crossed and course diverge by at least 15 degrees
True
Add 2 miles 2 miles when separating 2 information flights
Less then 40 miles = 5 miles
Vector below MVA #1
VFR okay as long as altitude not assigned by ATC
Vector below MVA #2
Vector in class G only is pilot request and as a an additional service
Speed adjustment phraseology
5 knot increments (NOT maintain 208 knots)
Speed phraseology
RESUME NORMAL SPEED
Approach gate for
AAC 1 mile from the FAF or 5 miles from landing threshold
Maximum 30 degrees vector intercept approach gate more than
2 miles to FAF
Vector inside the approach gate only when
Specifically requested by pilot
Visual approach
IFR aircraft proceed to airport visually
Not VFR aircraft
Minimum information for inflight emergency #1
Aircraft id and type, nature of emergency and pilot’s desire
Minimum information for inflight emergency #2
NOT color of a/c pr number of persons on board
“RADAR CONTACT LOST”
No longer identified on radar phraseology
TRAFFIC
Term used to transfer radar identification of an aircraft for purpose of coordinating separation action during handoff or point out
TRAFFIC observed
Above traffic is identified and restrictions will be complied with
PILOT’S DISCRETION
Allows pilot to start climb or descent at any rate, may level off at intermediate altitude but NOT return to previously vacated altitude
SAY AGAIN
Used to request a repeat of the last transmission
VECTOR
Heading to provide navigational guidance
