Control Instrument Approaches

Question 1

(2-7-2)

What do you issue to en route aircraft at least once while operating in your airspace?

Answer 1

The altimeter setting

Question 2

(4-7-5)
Military Turbojet En Route Descent

Prior to issuance of a descent clearance below the highest initial approach fix altitude established for any high altitude instrument approach procedure for the destination airport inform the aircraft:

Answer 2

> type of approach to expect
radar vectors will be provided to the final approach course
current weather whenever the ceiling is below 1,000’ (USAF 1,500’) or the highest circling minimum whichever is greater, or when the visibility is less than 3 miles

Question 3

(4-8-(all)
Approach Clearance Procedures

When can you use an intercept greater than 90 degrees?

Answer 3

> with a procedure turn

>the pilot will execute published holding

Question 4

(2-7-2)
Altimeter Setting Issuance Below Lowest Usable FL

what do you have to do at least once for en route aircraft operating in your area of jurisdiction?

Answer 4

Issue the altimeter setting.

Question 5

(4-7-5)
Military Turbojet En Route Descent

If ATIS is provided and the pilot advises he/she has received the current ATIS broadcast before the descent clearance is issued, what do you omit?

Answer 5

> type of approach to expect

>weather when the ceiling is below 1,000’ or vis is less than 3 miles

Question 5

(4-7-5)
Military Turbojet En Route Descent

To avoid requiring an aircraft to fly at low altitude for an excessive distance, descent clearance should be issued at a point determined by adding:

Answer 5

10 to the first two digits of the flight level

(Ex: for FL 370
37+10= 47 miles

Turbojet en route descents are based on a rate of descent of 4,000’ to 6,000’ per minute)

Question 6

(4-7-5)
Military Turbojet En Route Descent

Do not terminate the en route descent of an aircraft without:

Answer 6

The consent of the pilot except as required by radar outage or an emergency situation

Question 7

(2-7-2)
Altimeter Setting Issuance Below Lowest Usable FL

When issuing the altimeter setting to en route aircraft in your airspace, if there are multiple altimeter settings in your airspace, which one do you give?

Answer 7

The setting for the nearest reporting station along the aircraft’s route of flight

Question 8

(2-7-2)
Altimeter Setting Issuance Below Lowest Usable FL

When issuing clearance to descend below the lowest usable flight level, what do you have to do?

Answer 8

> advise the pilot of the altimeter setting of the weather reporting station nearest the point the aircraft will descend below that flight level.
