Aircraft
the airframe, crewmembers or both
Altitude
– indicated altitude mean sea level (MSL), flight level (FL), or both
Miles
nautical miles unless otherwise specified or in conjunction with visibility
Course / Bearing / Azimuth / Heading / Wind Direction
always magnetic unless otherwise stated
Immediately(Expeditious Compliance )
to be used only when expeditious compliance is required to avoid an imminent situation
Should either of the above be used and time permits give reason
expedite(Expeditious Compliance )
in situations where prompt compliance is required to avoid the development of an imminent situation
Should either of the above be used and time permits give reason
Safety Alert
Give a safety alert if an aircraft is, in your judgement, in a position or altitude that places it in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft.
Terrain – Low Altitude Alert(Safety Alert)
Issue a Low Altitude Alert if, in your judgement, an aircraft is in a position that places it in unsafe proximity to terrain or obstructions
Aircraft Conflict/Mode C Intruder Alert – Traffic Alert(Safety Alert)
Issue a Traffic Alert to any aircraft that are in unsafe proximity to other aircraft; give the alert to all aircraft involved in the conflict
Runway Selection
The active runway at any given time is determined by the wind
Use the runway that is most aligned with the wind when said wind is greater than 5 knots
Use the “calm wind” runway when the wind is less that 5 knots
Which facility determines the runway selection?
AIRPORT TRAFFIC CONTROL - TERMINAL
Vertical Separation Minima
Separate IFR aircraft using the following vertical minima:
Up to and including FL410 – 1,000 feet
Above FL410 – 2,000 feet
Above FL600 – 5,000 feet
Radar Application
Prior to providing radar service, radar identification shall be established with all aircraft involved
Radar Minima
Terminal : Separate aircraft by the following minima:
When less that 40 NM from the antenna - 3 miles
When 40 NM or more from the antenna – 5 miles
Radar Vectoring
Vectoring : in RADAR, we will use vectoring in order to keep aircraft separated horizontally.
Turning of the aircraft
“(Callsign), turn (right/left) heading (three digit magnetic heading).
