to position a/c for an imminent departure

When do you authorize an a/c to line up and wait

when takeoff clearances cannot be issued because of traffic. Issue traffic information to any a/c so authorized

When may traffic be omitted to an a/c in line up and wait

traffic is another a/c which has landed on or is taking off the runway and is clearly visible to the holding a/c Do not use condition phrases

What is the phraseology for line up and wait

Runway (number), Line up and wait

When an a/c is authorized to line up and wait, inform it of what

the closest traffic requesting a full-stop, touch and go, stop and go, options or unrestricted low approach to same runway

Do not authorize an a/c to line up and wiat when the departure point is ....

not visible from the tower, unless the a/c position can be verified by ASDE or the runway is used for departures only

What following conditions need to be met to authorize an a/c to line up and wait at the intersection between sunset and sunrise (night)

procedure approved by the appropriate director, terminal operations, as well as the direction, terminal safety and operations support procedure contained in a facility directive runway must be used as a departure only runway only one a/c at a time is permitted to LUAW document on -4

Do not authorize a/c to simultaneously LUAW on the same runway, between sunrise and sunset unless what

the local assist/local monitor position is staffed

Define anticipating separation

takeoff clearance needs not be withheld until prescribed separation exists if there is a reasonable assurance it will exist when the a/c start takeoff roll

Separate a departing a/c from a preceding departing or arriving a/c using the same runway by ensuring that it does not begin takeoff roll until

other a/c has departed and crossed the runway end (or) turned to avert any conflict if you can determine distances by reference to suitable landmarks preceding landing a/c is clear of the runway

low approach/missed approach opposite direction 3

Are you allowed to approve pilot requests to deviate from the required intervals when dealing with wake turbulence

Separate a small a/c behind a large a/c that has departed or made a low/missed approach when utilizing opposite direction takeoffs on the same runway by Is it waiverable

3 minutes Yes

Intersection departures, separate a small a/c weighing 12,500 or less taking off from an intersection on the same runway (same or opposite) behind departing small a/c weighing more than 12,500

3 minutes

Intersection departures, Separate a small a/c taking off from an intersection on the same runway (same or opposite direction takeoff) behind a departing large a/c (except ______) by ensuring the a/c does not start takeoff roll by

3 min

Intersection departures, Separate a small a/c taking off from an intersection on the same runway (same or opposite) behind a departing B757 by ensuring that the a/c does not start takeoff roll until

3 min after the preceding a/c taking off

Intersection departures, Separate aircraft departing from an intersection on the same runway (same or opposite), parallel runway separted by less than _____ and parallel runway separate by less than _____ with the runway thresholds offset by ____ feet or more, by ensruing that the a/c does not start take-off roll until

Heavy, large or small behind super - 4 min Heavy, large or small behind heavy - 3 min

Reference wake turbulence, time interval is not required

a pilot has initiated a request to deviate (does not apply to heavy or supers/757) successive touch and go or stop and go ops are conducted with any a/c following an a/c in the patter that requires wake turbulence separation or an a/c departing the same runway requiring wake turbulence Issue cautionary wake turbulence

Intersecting runways, Separate departing a/c from another a/c using an intersecting runway by ensuring by ensuring that the departure does not begin takeoff roll until one of the following exists

preceding a/c has departed and passed the intersection or is turning to avert any conflict preceding arriving a/c is clear of the landing runway, completed the landing roll and will hold short of the intersection or has passed the intersection

Intersecting runways, separate IFR/VFR a/c taking off behind a departing or landing a/c on an intersection runway if flight paths will cross or an aircraft departing a parallel runway separated by _________ or more if projected flights will cross Heavy, large or small behind super Heavy, large or small behind heavy small B757

2500 3 min 2 min 2 min

Are pilot requests to deviate form the required time intervals authorized if the preceding a/c requires wake turbulence reference intersecting runways

What provides the basic means to transition from instrument flight to visual flight

ALS

ALS are a configuration of signal lights starting...

at the landing threshold (and) extending into the approach area a distance of 2400-3000 feet for precision instrument runways 1400-1500 for non precision

installed at many airfield to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a particular runway

runway end identifier lights

laterally

REILs may be either ____________ or ____________ facing the approach area

omnidirectional | unidirectional

used to outline the edges of runways during periods of what

runway edge lights darkness or restricted visibility

white | except on instrument runways, yellow replaces white on the last 2000 feet or half the runway length

Three types of markings for runways

visual nonprecision precision
