Required items on a situation display

A

Unlinked targets
CJS
Coast list in full format
Altitude readouts (mode C)
Current weather and history
VMI
Appropriate geographic map

20
Q

Readback

A

A procedure whereby the receiving station repeats a received message or an appropriate part thereof to the transmitting station so as to obtain confirmation that the message was received correctly

21
Q

Flight Level

A

An altitude expressed in hundreds of feet indicated on an altimeter set to 29.92

22
Q

ATC Clearance

A

An authorization issued by an ATC unit for an aircraft to proceed within controlled airspace in accordance with the conditions specified by that unit

23
Q

ATC instruction

A

A directive issued by an ATC unit for air traffic control purposes

24
Q

PaCS RAS DST

A

Prefix/ACID, clearance limit, SID, route, altitude, speed, departure/enroute/approach or holding instructions, special instructions, traffic info

25
Q

ATS Surveillance

A

All methods of remotely sensing aircraft using certified/commissioned electronic equipment including PSR, SSR, MLAT, ADS-B, without the benefit of visual observation

26
Q

Requirements to provide ATS control procedures

A

Aircraft is identified
In controlled airspace
DCPC
You are satisfied that ATS surveillance info is adequate

27
Q

Validated altitude readout

A

4 consecutive readouts within 200ft of assigned altitude

28
Q

True Airspeed

A

The airspeed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air

29
Q

Mach number

A

The ratio of speed of an object to the local speed of sound

30
Q

Transition speed

A

Speed at which a pilot makes The transition between IAS and Mach number when climbing or from mach number to IAS when descending

31
Q

Same track

A

In the application of separation, expression used by ATC to indicate identical tracks or tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 1°- 44° inclusive

32
Q

Non-ATS surveillance route

A

A route on which an aircraft can determine its position, track, and consequently, the minimum IFR altitude without the benefit of ATS surveillance information

33
Q

Reasons for Vectoring

A

Separation, spacing, sequencing, efficiency, pilot request, restricted airspace, traffic

34
Q

Vector

A

A heading given by a controller to a pilot to provide navigational guidance

35
Q

If initiating vectoring, inform the pilot:

A

The purpose of vectors and/or the point to which the aircraft is being vectored
The aircraft’s SID or STAR is cancelled, if applicable

36
Q

Heading

A

The direction in which the longitudinal axis of an aircraft is pointed

37
Q

You may terminate vectoring of an aircraft, provided:

A

It is cleared for an approach
It is cleared to hold
It is established on the cleared route without requiring navigation assistance

38
Q

Position information: inform the pilot of the aircraft’s position when:

A

Identification is established by an identifying turn
Vectoring is terminated
Pilot requests the information
You deem it necessary

39
Q

Same strata

A

Aircraft within 2000ft of each other as far as IAS/Mach number are concerned

40
Q

Altitude assignment priority

A

Carrying sick or injured person
Aircraft already at altitude
The leading aircraft
Accommodate max # aircraft

41
Q

Functional goal #1
All ATS units must provide:

A

Uniform application of approved standards and procedures
Professional communications
Full-time attentive flight monitoring and flight information services

42
Q

Traffic Information

A

Information issued by ATS to pilots regarding other known or observed traffic that may be in such proximity to their position or intended route as to warrant their attention

43
Q

Radar

A

Radio detection device that provides information on range, azimuth, or elevation of objects

44
Q

Vector an airplane if:

A

It is necessary for separation
It is required for noise abatement procedures
You or the aircraft gain an operational advantage
The pilot requests it
