Coordination Flashcards
Give full details of the methods that may be used to achieve coordination.
Tactical coordination: The coordination of individual aircraft to which the coordinating controllers are providing, or are about to provide, an ATS. It is achieved either verbally (face-to-face or over a landline) or silently using an electronic data communications system. Silent coordination procedures are to be detailed in MATS Part 2 and Unit Military Procedures.
Standing coordination: Coordination which is implemented automatically, on a permanent basis, without communication between the controllers involved. It is effected in accordance with a written agreement between the units or sectors involved, and is only valid for the aircraft and circumstances specified in the MATS Part 2.
When is coordination deemed to have been achieved?
When approved by the CAA, coordination is deemed to have been achieved if an estimate message has been passed and the accepting ATC unit has raised no objection.
