ADS-B Overview - ADS-B In-Trail Procedures Flashcards
The difference between the ITP aircraft groundspeed and the reference aircraft groundspeed that results in a reduced ITP distance is the:
Closing Groundspeed Differential.
Using the following diagram, would the ITP Distance between the two aircraft meet the requirements if the closing groundspeed differential was 20kts?
No, the ITP distance in this case would be 10NM, which would not meet the required 15NM.
What is the minimum climb or descent rate for an In-Trail Procedure?
300 fpm.
What is the minimum ITP separation during an In-Trail Procedure?
10 NM.
What is the maximum relative altitude that the reference aircraft may be at in reference to the ITP aircraft?
No more than 2,000 ft. above or below.
Reference aircraft and the ITP aircraft must be on similar tracks for an ITP. Similar tracks for ITP are defined as:
Less than 45 degrees from one another.
If during an ITP maneuver reference aircraft data is lost or ITP display fails, the flight crew should:
Continue the maneuver and notify ATC upon completion of ITP maneuver.
What does CAVS allow flight crews to do?
Maintain visual separation using the cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) instead of continuous visual observation out the window.
If during a CAVS procedure, the traffic information becomes unreliable, inoperative, or distracting to the operation of the aircraft, and visual separation cannot be maintained, the flight crew should:
Discontinue use of CAVS immediately.
When ATC identifies the traffic to follow to the flight crew of a CAVS-equipped aircraft, the flight crew will locate that traffic:
Visually, out the window.
The ADS-B caution level minimum range alert is activated when the range to the traffic-to-follow is less than:
1.4 NM.
Is FAA authorization required to conduct CAVS?
Yes, it requires OpSpec/MSpec/LOA A355.
