What special conditions are reasons to NOT use the step up or step down procedure?
Severe turbulence
First aircraft given pilot’s discretion
Controller just feels it is not safe
Air refueling is involved
The step up or step down procedure (also called laddering) is legal when:
The upper aircraft has a slower descent rate.
The lower aircraft has the same climb rate.
The upper aircraft has the same descent rate.
The lower aircraft has a slower climb rate.
Which of the following are required reports of all pilots?
Leaving an assigned altitude
Which of the following are the 4 recognized methods of separation?
Vertical
Lateral
Longitudinal
Visual
DO NOT USE the DME separation chart between a DME equipped and a GPS equipped aircraft if either aircraft is
Above 10,000 feet and within 10 miles of the VOR
Which of the following is considered a legal document of the controller’s actions? Select all that apply
Flight strips
Computer record of key strokes
Voice recordings
An airway has a width of how many nautical miles?
8
Match the type of separation to the time and distance required.
Standard separation
22 knot rule (lead aircraft faster by 22 knots or more)
44 knot rule (lead aircraft faster by 44 knots or more)
Opposite direction on same airway
lead aircraft climbing through a trailing aircraft’s altitude
lead aircraft descending through a trailing aircraft’s altitude
trailing aircraft climbing through a leading aircraft’s altitude
trailing aircraft descending through a leading aircraft’s altitude
10 min or 20NM 5 min or 10NM 3 min or 5NM 10 min or 20NM 10 min or 20NM 5 min or 10NM 5 min or 10NM 10 min or 20NM
If aircraft are opposite direction on the same airway, you can discontinue vertical separation how many minutes after they report passing the same fix:
1) Both DME equipped
2) One or both not DME equipped
