Question 2

Rules of Class G Vectoring

Answer 2

You may vector an aircraft into class G airspace if you inform the pilot and obtain the pilot’s approval.

Question 3

Min IFR Altitude

Answer 3

The lowest IFR altitude established for use in a specific airspace, depending on the airspace concerned, the minimum IFR altitude may be MOCA, MEA, MSA, MVA, Min safe Alt 100NM, TAA, AMA, Transition Alt, Missed Approach.

Question 4

Altimeter Math

Answer 4

29.92 - 29.93 = 10 ft, 29.92 - 29.82 = 100ft, 29.92 - 28.92 = 1000ft

Question 5

Lowest Available Flight Level Based on Altimeter

Answer 5

> 29.92 = FL 180
29.91 - 28.92 = FL 170
28.91 - 27.92 = FL 200
< 27.91 = FL 210

Question 6

Altimeter Say Twice

Answer 6

Issue the Altimeter as follows:
- The setting 28.99 and lower OR 31.00 and higher, state the setting twice.
- “Altimeter [xx] I say again Altimeter [xx]”

Answer 8

Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude
- Altitude Above Sea Level between specified fixes on airways or Routes

Question 9

MEA

Answer 9

Minimum Enroute Altitude
- The altitude above sea level between specified fixs on airways or air routes that assure acceptable Navigational signal coverage and meet the IFR obstacle clearance requirement.

Question 10

MSA

Answer 10

Minimum Sector Altitude
- the lowest altitude that will provide a minimum clearance of 1000ft under conditions of standard temp and pressure above all objects located in a 25NM circle centred on NAVAID

Question 11

H 4 4 5 6
M - - - 4
L - - - -

Question 16

Wind Shear

Answer 16

A change in wind speed and/or direction in a short distance. It can exist in a horizontal or vertical direction, occasionally both

Question 17

What Class and Base of an Airway

Answer 17

Class E airspace starting from 2200 AGL

Question 18

Mandatory Frequency

Answer 18

When an aircraft is approaching a MF area, instruct the pilot to change to the MF BEFORE reaching the area.

if the pilot needs to leave your frequency to make required Mandatory Frequency Area Reports, advise the pilot to report leaving and returning to ATC frequency.

Question 19

RSC/CRFI Valid Times

Answer 19

RSC and CRFI reports are valid for 8 or 24 hours, depending on the reporting method and classification of the aerodrome.

Distributed by NOTAM which remains in effect until cancelled, replaced or expired.

Question 20

ID Doubtful or Lost

Answer 20

If ID becomes doubtful or lost, immediately do either of the following:

• ID or RE-ID the aircraft using the same technique more than once or use more that one technique.
• Terminate ATS Surveillance service and provide Procedural Separation

Question 21

Airway Overlap V306/V327

Answer 21

Airspace planners determined that the overlap of protected airspace between V306/V327 discontinue at 6.8 Miles or 8 DME.

AC that report MORE than 6.8 miles or 8 DME from YDD are cleared.

Question 22

If a Pilot makes a Position Report in the Altimeter setting region.

Answer 22

Issue the current altimeter setting for:
- The station over which the AC report
- The Next station along the route of flight

Question 23

Discrepancies in Estimates

Answer 23

1. Check the accuracy of the ATC Estimate.
2. If Remains, request pilot to check the aircraft estimate
3. If still remains, Take appropriate action to ensure that separation is not compromised.
