Exam 3 Review Flashcards
Terminal Inbound and Outbound Gates
D. Terminal shall route aircraft direct the appropriate exit fix:
1. BANJO
2. DEXTR
3. ANGEL
4. Aircraft exiting the West Gate will be cleared on a track direct or assigned a heading between YBB and YWW
E. WW/EE shall ensure aircraft are established on the appropriate arrival at the following fixes prior to entering Terminal’s airspace:
1. WHITE
2. KYLER
3. BLACK
Define Minimum IFR Altitude
MATS ACC > Glossary
MINIMUM IFR ALTITUDE - The lowest IFR altitude established for use in a specific airspace. Depending on the airspace concerned, the minimum IFR altitude may be a minimum obstacle clearance altitude (MOCA), a minimum enroute altitude (MEA), a minimum sector altitude (MSA), a minimum vectoring altitude (MVA), a safe altitude 100 NM, a terminal arrival area (TAA), an area minimum altitude (AMA), a transition altitude, or a missed approach altitude. The minimum IFR altitude provides obstacle clearance, but may or may not be within controlled airspace.
Define Wind Shear
MATS ACC > Glossary
WIND SHEAR (WS) - A change in wind speed and/or wind direction in a short distance. It can exist in a horizontal or vertical direction and occasionally in both.
“Issue the altimeter setting as follows:” (6)
MATS ACC > Flight Information > Weather Information > Altimeter Setting Information
Issue the altimeter setting as follows:
* Identify the setting by the name of the station to which it applies, unless:
◦ The setting applies to the station at which the unit is located.
◦ There is no possibility of misunderstanding.[1]
* If the setting is 28.99 or lower, or 31.00 or higher, state the setting twice
* If the setting is higher than 31.00, issue the actual altimeter setting and confirm that the pilot has set the aircraft altimeter to 31.00.
* If the setting is obtained from a weather report that is one hour old or more, include the time of the report.
* If the setting changes by ± 0.02 inches or more, issue a revised altimeter setting.
* If a pilot asks which type of setting is provided, identify the setting as QNH (height above sea level). [4]
If no local or remote altimeter is available for a location, inform the pilot when issuing landing information.
4 An altimeter on a QNH setting displays the height above sea level. In Canada, the height above aerodrome elevation or relevant runway threshold (QFE) is not available.
Do not use altitude readouts when the site altimeter setting for the geographic region concerned is below 26.00 or above 33.00.
“Do not use invalidated altitude readouts to determine an aircraft’s altitude.
You may use invalidated altitude readouts to do any of the following:”
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Altitude Readouts > Invalidated Altitude Readouts
Do not use invalidated altitude readouts to determine an aircraft’s altitude.
You may use invalidated altitude readouts to do any of the following:
* Observe whether an aircraft is in level flight, climbing, or descending
* Observe rates of climb or descent
* Provide traffic information.
“Validate altitude readouts by comparing the readout value with the altitude reported by the pilot, at either of the following times:” (2)
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Altitude Readouts
Validate altitude readouts by comparing the readout value with the altitude reported by the pilot, at either of the following times:
* On initial contact
* As soon as feasible, if the readout is not displayed or cannot be validated on initial contact
“You may assign an altitude only after another aircraft previously at that altitude, or climbing or descending through that altitude, has reported or is observed doing one of the following:” (2)
MATS ACC > Separation > Vertical Separation > Maintaining Vertical Separation > Assigning Altitudes
You may assign an altitude only after another aircraft previously at that altitude, or climbing or descending through that altitude, has reported or is observed doing one of the following:
* Vacating or passing the altitude you want to assign
* Vacating or passing an altitude separated by the appropriate minimum from the altitude you want to assign, and one of the following applies:
◦ Severe turbulence exists.
◦ The aircraft previously at the altitude you want to assign has been issued a cruise climb.
The climb or descent rate of both aircraft must be considered in determining when an aircraft may be cleared to the altitude that has been vacated.
Speed Maximums at Certain Altitudes
no person shall operate an aircraft in Canada;
(a)below 10 000 ft ASL at more than 250 KIAS; or
(b)below 3 000 ft AGL within 10 NM of a controlled airport and at more than 200 KIAS, unless authorized to do so in an air traffic control clearance.
Define IAWP, IWP, FAWP, MAWP, MAHWP
MATS ACC > Glossary
IAWP – Initial Approach Waypoint
IWP – Intermediate Approach Waypoint
FAWP - Final Approach Waypoint
MAWP - Missed Approach Waypoint
MAHWP - Missed Approach Holding Waypoint
TC AIM RAC 9.2.3.6 > Speed Restrictions (STAR)
TC AIM RAC 9.2.3.6 > Speed Restrictions
Pilots must follow charted speed restrictions on a STAR. An ATC assigned speed restriction supersedes any STAR-charted speed restrictions and must be followed until CAR 602.32 prohibits the pilot from flying at that speed.

Icing Types and Temperatures

Define Wake Turbulence
MATS ACC > Glossary
WAKE TURBULENCE - Turbulent air behind an aircraft caused by any of the following:
* Wing-tip vortices
* Rotor-tip vortices
* Jet-engine thrust stream or jet blast
* Rotor downwash
* Prop wash
“When an aircraft is approaching an MF area, instruct the pilot to…”
MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Communication Transfer > Mandatory Frequency
Area
When an aircraft is approaching an 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.
“If identification becomes doubtful or is lost, immediately do either of the following:”
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Identification > Identification Doubtful or Lost
If identification becomes doubtful or is lost, immediately do either of the following:
* Identify or re-identify the aircraft using the same technique more than once or use more than one of the techniques provided in Identification Methods.
* Terminate ATS surveillance service and apply procedural separation.
When identification is lost, inform the pilot.
