Q

Identification

A

The process of ascertaining that a particular PPS represents the location of a specific aircraft

20
Q

You may consider an aircraft identified, when conditions are met for any of the following:

A

Transferred or coordinated ident
Appropriate PPS changes
Aircraft ID in ADSB data tag
Aircraft position and movements on situational display

21
Q

Omni facility

A

VOR, VORTAC, or TACAN that provides azimuth information, expressed as radials in degrees from 000 to 359

22
Q

If identification becomes doubtful or lost, immediately do either:

A

Identify or re-identify the aircraft using the same technique more than once or use more than one of the techniques
Terminate ATS surveillance service and apply procedural separation

23
Q

Consider ident to be lost if a linked PPS ceases to be displayed after coasting, unless:

A

You are able to maintain identification of an unlinked PPS being displayed for the aircraft
The PPS re-links within an sufficiently short period that you have no doubt about its identity

24
Q

If an aircraft will enter another sector or unit’s airspace, initiate handoff if any of the following apply

A

You are applying ATS surveillance separation between the concerned aircraft and another aircraft that was, is, or will be transferred
ATS surveillance separation is normally applied in the receiving controller’s airspace
Handoffs are specified as a standard procedure in an agreement, arrangement or directive

25
Q

Complete a handoff before the aircraft passes the following:

A

The sector or unit boundary
A designated control transfer point
Any handoff point defined in an arrangement or agreement

26
Q

Do an automated handoff unless:

A

You are handing off an unlinked PPS
A system malfunction or deficiency makes it unfeasible

27
Q

Cruise climb

A

A cruising technique resulting in a net increase in altitude as the aircraft mass decreases. A clearance or instruction to carry out a cruise climb allows the pilot the option of climbing at any given rate, as well as the option of leveling off at any altitude

28
Q

If a cruising altitude is inappropriate to the direction of flight:

A

Instruct the pilot to make position reports
Identify the altitude as WRONG WAY for any of these coordination tasks:
Passing/receiving a control estimate
Giving/receiving a handoff
Coordinating with adjacent sector

29
Q

Omit verbal Handoffs between sectors, provided:

A

Procedures are defined in an arrangement
The overlap area and FDBs are displayed at all times
Prior to comms transfer, you inform the controller if the aircraft is: unidentified, cruise climb, ww altitude, invalid altitude, non RVSM etc

30
Q

Point out

A

An action taken by a controller to transfer the identification of an aircraft with another controller, when control and radio comms will not be transferred

31
Q

Complete a handoff before the aircraft passes any of the following

A

The sector or unit boundary
A designated control transfer point

32
Q

Transfer control of an IFR or CVFR aircraft to an adjacent sector or unit as follows:

A

So that control transfer occurs at the time of crossing the control area boundary as estimated by the sector or unit relinquishing control
At a specified time
When the aircraft is at a specified altitude, fix or location

33
Q

Relay the following to the receiving controller:

A

The appropriate flight data and control information, including amendments
Any information received from the pilot or operator concerning the aircraft’s fuel state or reserves

34
Q

Reciprocal track

A

In the application of separation, a term used to indicate tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 136° to 180° inclusive

35
Q

RVSM

A

The application of 1000ft vertical separation between RVSM aircraft in RVSM airspace

36
Q

State Aircraft

A

Any aircraft used for military, customs, police or other law enforcement services of a state

37
Q

Do not clear a non RVSM aircraft to enter RVSM airspace unless the aircraft is any of the following:

A

A state aircraft
On an initial delivery flight
An aircraft that was formerly RVSM and is being flown to a maintenance facility
A mercy or humanitarian flight
A photographic survey aircraft
Conducting a flight check of a NAVAID
Conducting a monitoring/certification or developmental flight

38
Q

Provided a non RVSM aircraft will be separated by the applicable separation minimum, do either of the following:

A

Clear the aircraft to climb or descend through RVSM airspace
Level-off the aircraft in RVSM airspace for traffic management

39
Q

Vertical Navigation (VNAV)

A

An RNAV function that calculates, displays and provides guidance to maintain a vertical profile or path

40
Q

Conflict

A

The actual or predicted convergence of aircraft that violates one or more separation minima

41
Q

If a pilot requests a flight plan change:

A

Approve the change and include the exact nature of the change in the clearance
If you are unable to approve the change, provide the reason for non-approval, if appropriate a suggested alternative

42
Q

Crossing track

A

In the application of separation, a term used to indicate tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 45° to 135° inclusive

43
Q

Position reporting

A

Confirm that all information in position reports and flight plans is valid and accurate

44
Q

You may assign an altitude inappropriate for direction of flight in the following situations:

A

No alternate separation minima can be applied
The altitude has be approved by affected sectors/units
The aircraft will be cleared to an appropriate altitude as soon as the conditions permit
The airspace is structured for one-way traffic flow
Transitioning to/from Oceanic airspace within 200 miles from Oceanic entry or exit point
A pilot requests the altitude beuse of icing, turbulence or fuel considerations

45
Q

You may assign wrong way altitude if an aircraft is doing any of the following:

A

Holding, arriving, departing
Conducting a flight check of a NAVAID
Operating within an ALTRV
Engaged in aerial survey, mapping flight, or test flight
Operating on a polar route
Transitioning to or from Oceanic airspace within 200 miles along the aircraft track from the Oceanic entry or exit point
