Q

For WTB separation purposes, aircraft carrying out a touch-and-go or a low approach shall be considered as making a departure from what point on the runway? (1)

A

An Intermediate point on the runway

22
Q

For WTB separation purposes, helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft air taxiing across runways shall be considered as what? (1)

A

A departure from that intermediate point of the runway

23
Q

“When hovering or air taxiing, a helicopter or tilt-rotor aircraft directs a forceful blast of air downwards which then rolls out in all directions. This downwash and associated turbulence can drift a substantial distance downwind and may affect an adjacent runway or taxiway”

To minimise the effects of this turbulence controllers should? (4)

A
  1. Instruct helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft to ground taxi rather than air taxi when operating in areas where aircraft are parked or holding
  2. Not air-taxi helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft close to taxiways or runways where light aircraft operations (including light helicopter operations) are in progress. If air taxiing is imperative, helicopters must be routed to:
  • Avoid over flying parked aircraft, vehicles, or loose ground equipment
  • Follow standard taxi routes where helicopters and fixed wing aircraft share common areas on a movement area
24
Q

Reduced separation in the vicinity of an AD conditions (3)

A
  1. When each aircraft is continuously visible to this controller
  2. Each aircraft is continuously visible to the pilots of other aircraft concerned
  3. When one aircraft is following another, the pilot of the succeeding aircraft reports the other aircraft is in sight – Can maintain their own separation
25
What are the **approved basic uses** of an **ATM**? (4)

29
When shall ATC initiate RVR observations? (2)
- When lowest visibility (prevailing or minimum) is less than 1500m **AND/OR** - RVR on any of the runways is believed to be less than the maximum value that can be reported
