Question 16

Traffic Info Classes of Airspace

Answer 16

Provided for C and D (VFR), Provide to Pilots in E unless; Workload, Equipment or Higher Priority

Question 17

Flight Priority

Answer 17

First Come First Serve
- Prio to Sick and Injured
- Prio to Already at FL
- Prio to Leading AC

• AC Performance, Approach/Departure, Routes to be followed, Wake Turb Sep, AC Subject to ATFM

Question 17

Same Track

Answer 17

In the application of separation, it’s an expression sued by air traffic controllers to identify identical tracks or tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 1degree or 44 degrees inclusively

Question 18

Why Vector? (7)

Answer 18

Separation, Spacing, Sequencing, Efficiency, Request, Traffic, Restricted AS

Question 19

When Vector? (4)

Answer 19

Necessary for Separation, Noise Abatement, Operational Advantage, Pilot Request.

Question 20

Heading vs Track vs Wind

Answer 20

Heading - Longitudinal Axis
Track - Projected on the earths surface
Wind - it blows

Question 21

Navigational Assistance

Answer 21

Can be in the form of Position info, vectors, track and ground speed check

Question 22

Vectoring Phrasing

Answer 22

T L/R # of Degrees
T L/R Heading #
T Fly Heading #

Question 23

Vectoring Terminations

Answer 23

Cleared for Approach
Cleared for Hold
Cleared on Route (without need for Navigational Assistance)

Question 24

Separation from Prominent Obstruction

Answer 24

5 Miles if position of obstruction is on CSiT or Nards

3 miles iff:
- Provide Terminal Control Clearance
- ATS Source includes MLAT/WAN, DND-NG/RSE
- CSit/NARDS displays max range 120 miles L/R
- Obstruction inclosed with Circular Buffer

Question 25

Traffic Info

Answer 25

PPS likely to merge, Must be sperated by more than appropriate vertical separation minimum.
- AC is holding

Question 26

Traffic Info When not to give? (6)

Answer 26

AC Maintains 1000ft OTT, Clear IFR to fly VFR, Multiple AC in same Holding Pattern, Pilot Requests, Deemed Necessary, Acknowledges a TA

Traffic Info Format

Answer 27

PDDTARO
Position - Oclock
Distance - part of Position
Direction - L/R, Opposite/Same
Type - of Aircraft
Altitude - comparison to AC
Report Point in Time
