Q

Hvis QFE ved et skydeområde er på 1030 og skydeområdet går til 16500’, hvad er så den første available FL for VFR eastbound?

A

1013-1030 = -17 hPa
-17*30 = -510’
16500’-510’ = 15990’
15990+1000’ = 16990’
FL175 er svaret

Q

Is Denmark RVSM airspace? And if so, can we then always separate with 1000’ between FL290 and FL410?

A

Yes Denmark is, but we can still get aircraft that are non RVSM capable. So in that case we have to separate with 2000’ above FL290

Q

You have 25 miles to a crossing of two aircraft and you need to climb one of them 6000 feet to pass the other. Aircraft flying 240 kts.
What rate of climb do you need?

A

Minimum 5 nm distance = 20 nm to climb
240kts/60= 4 nm/min
20/4 = 5 min
6000 feet / 5 min = 1200 feet/min

Q

What is the requirement to use longitudinal separation in distance?

A

There need to be direct controller pilot communication (DCPC)

30
Q

What is the distance separation on same level, same track?

A

20 nm

Or

10 nm if lead aircraft is flying 20 kts or faster than trailing aircraft

31
Q

What is the distance separation if we are on crossing tracks (not exceeding 90 degrees)

A

20 nm

Or

10 nm if lead aircraft is flying 20 kts or faster than trailing aircraft

32
Q

What is distance separation between aircraft climbing or descending in the same track while vertical separation does not exist?

A

10 nm and one aircraft has to maintain level

33
Q

When can both aircraft start changing level in distance separation?

A

When both are on a reciprocal track (flying away from each other) with a 10 nm Sep

34
Q

When can you apply the Mach number technique to turbojet aircraft on the same track, whether in level, climbing or descending flight in time separation?

A

When the aircraft have reported over the same common point and follow the same track or continuously diverging tracks until some other form of separation is provided

Or

If they did not report over same point, it’s possible to ensure that the time interval will exist at the common point

35
Q

Applying the Mach number technique, what is the time required between two aircraft, when leading aircraft is flying Mach 0.04 or faster?

A

7 minutes

36
Q

Applying the Mach number technique, what is the time required between two aircraft, when leading aircraft is flying Mach 0.02 or faster?

A

9 minutes

37
Q

Applying the Mach number technique, what is the time required between two aircraft, when leading aircraft is flying Mach 0.06 or faster?

A

5 minutes

38
Q

How can you separate laterally?

A

Geographical or track

39
Q

How can you separate longitudinal?

A

In time or distance

40
Q

How can you obtain lateral separation?

A

Is obtained by requiring operation on different routes or in different geographical locations by either
- visual observation
- use of navigation aids
- area navigation equipment (RNAV)

41
Q

How can you separate lateral

A
  1. By reference to the same or different geographical locations
  2. By using the same nav aids
    - VOR: diverging by at least 15 degrees from nav aid and one aircraft is 15 nm or more from the vor
    - NDB: diverging by at least 30 degrees from nav aid and one aircraft is 15 nm or more from NDB
    - Dead reckoning: outbound ONLY and diverging by at least 45 degrees and one aircraft is 15 nm or more from intersection
    - RNAV: outbound ONLY, tracks diverging by at least 15 degrees and the protected airspace of the tracks do not overlap
42
Q

What is the initial call for when an aircraft has been seen on the PSR?

A

“C/s, radar, indentified”

43
Q

What is radar an abbreviation of?

A

Radio detection and ranging

44
Q

What can help you identify an aircraft from PSR plots?

A
  • Flightplan (expected traffic)
  • position report
  • Bearing and distance from a point
  • AND by confirming heading
