Control Of Aircraft Flashcards
How many types of radar control are there
4
What is radar control
Controlled en route aircraft
What is approach radar
Arriving and departing controlled traffic
How big a turn is done to radar identify
Turn through 30° or more
What is “radar contact”
Identified and instructions will be provided until service terminated
When is position information given to aircraft
On radar identification
And
Termination or radar service
What area can radar vectoring take place
Radar vectoring area (RVA)
How close will a aircraft be vectored to the edge of RVA
No closer than
1/2 radar separation
Or
2.5nm
What is the max closing angle for a localiser
45°
Maintained for not less than 1 nm
If radar contact is lost for a PAR within the last 2nm what should be done
Missed approach
What is the radar termination range (RTR)
2nm
But
RTR 2 = range / advisory heights passed every 1nm
RTR 1 = every half nm
(Half the RTR)
during surveillance radar approach SRA
Who is responsible for forwarding landing clearance
Radar controller
When is clearance to land normally given
4nm
But no later than 2nm = missed approach
What is a “land after”
Not a clearance to land
Provisional clearance
Conditions; Day light Can see preceding aircraft throughout Runway dry braking action good Runway occupancy limited to 50 seconds ATCO can see full length of runway
When is atc required to advise of delays
Exceed 30 mins
What is a visual approach
Part of a instrument approach
If you are unfamiliar with the approach procedure, what will be passed for a straight in approach
Only the FAT and missed approach
When do en route traffic need to be separated from holding traffic
When they come within 5 mins flying time of holding area
What is a significant change in wind
Headwind 10kts
Tailwind 2kts
Crosswind 5kts
Who receives advisory service in class F airspace
Only participating IFR traffic
All flights receive FIS if requested
What is the emergency atc frequency
121.5
Or
123.45
If another aircraft is emergency descending what do you do
Clear the area
Standby for further clearances
When should fuel jettison be done
Not below 6,000ft
If in CAS Inform atc
Clear of towns
No CB activity
What is a strayed aircraft
One that has deviated from its intended track or reports lost
