Exam review 2 Flashcards
Define the option and what it could entail for an arrival or departure
The option allows a flight instructor to give a student a last minute arrivla or departure procedure for training:
For arriving aircraft it can be any of: touch and go, stop and go, low approach, missed approach or full stop landing
For departing aircraft it can be any of: simulated rejected takeoff, reduced power takeoff, or simulated engine failure on departure
We must be prepared and have space for any of the above things to happen if we authorize the option
What do we do if there are 2 aircraft with similar sounding IDs on our frequency and operating in the same airspace
Advise the aircraft of the others presence adn for further clarification do one of the following:
For emphasis restate the telephone designator of the aircraft after the flight number
Add the type of aircraft to the call sign
Instruct one of the pilots to use the aircraft registration
Instruct one of the pilots to use the telephony designator followed by at least the last 2 characters of the aircraft registration
For different runway actions when is a plane considered arriving and departing?
Touch and go is arriving until it touches the runway and then it is departing
Stop and go is arriving until it stops and the is considered departing
Low approach is arriving until it crosses the runway threshold or discontinues approach and is departing as soon as it crosses the threshold
When can you clear an aircraft for a low approach on a runway that is occupied
Specific instructions or restrictions are issued when required and traffic inforamtion is exchanged (tower passes traffic to aircraft and ground passes traffic to vehicle on the runway)
What conditions need to be met for a full readback of an IFR clearance to be omitted
Information is relayed electronically or an arrangement specifies otherwise
Or if all of the following are true:
No changes are made to the originally filed flight plan
THE clearance includes a SID
The clearance is issued by referrring to a machine printed strip or a video display of the flight plan (EXCDS)
No alternative instructions are included in the clearance
The contents of the clearance are apparently understood
What is the appropriate order for issuing an IFR clearance (PCSRASDST)
1) PRefix (aircraft id)
2) Clearance limit (ususally destination airport)
3) SID
4) Route
5) Altitude
6) Speed
7) Departure, enroute, approach or holding sintructions (possibly turns or climb out instructions)
8) Special instructions or info (SSR code)
9) Traffic information (rarely included as IFR clearances are often issued well in advance of takeoff)
Define minimum descent altitude
In a non precision approach the altitude below which descent is not to be made until the required visual reference necessary to continue the approach to land has been established
What is the difference between a precision approach and a non precision approach
A precision approach uses azimuth and glide path and a non precision approach only uses azimuth guidance
What are the standards necessary for an IFR controller to clear an aircraft for a visual approach
Ceiling 500’ above the minimun IFR altitudes and ground visibility at 3 sm or more at the destination airport
What do we expect an IFr pilot to do after a missed approach
We expect an IFR pilot to pullup and fly runway heading unless they request a published missed approach procedure to the instrument approach that is :
Acknowledged by the controller
Advertised on the automatic therminal information system
We issue necessary clearances to provide separation from other aircraft
What is the weather minima for an IFR pilot to do a contact approach
The pilot must have 1 mile flight visbility and a reasonable expectation of proceeding to the destination under these conditions
Transfer control of an IFR or CVFR aircraft to an adjacent sector or unit as follows
So that control transfer occurs at the time of crossing the control area boundary as estimated by the sector or unit relinquishing control
At a specific time
At a specific fix, altitude or location
What conditions need to be met for us to assume control of an IFR aircraft?
Ceilng is not less than 1000’ and visibility is not less than 3 mi at the airport
Pilot is cleared for an approach and intends to land
Aircraft is within the control zone and either:
-at a position agreed upon by you and the ACC when you requested control
-Established on the final leg and contro lis transferred according to an agreement
You have done one of the following:
Sighted the aircraft and are satisfied they will remain in sight and not return to IFR conditions
Obeserved the aircraft on a situational display on the final lef and determined the aircraft is operating in VMC
You ensure the aircaft remains in the control zone
Who do we contact wehn the ILS stops working
the TOCC
Other concerned aircraft
Other concerned ATS units/positions
In regards to wake turbulence, how are ultralights and non motorized aircaft dealt with
Ultralights are considered lights and any motoorized aircraft in front of a non motorized airacft (hangglider or balloon) is considered a heavy
Define wake turbulence and list the 5 sources
Turbulent are behind an aircraft in flight caused by:
Wing tip vortices
Rotor tip vortices
Jet blast
Prop wash
Rotor downwash
What are the 4 ways a pilot can avoid wake turbulence
Behind a heavier departure a departure could lift off before the roation point and climb above the flight path of the leading aircraft
Behind a heavier departure an arrival could touch dwon before the rotation point of the heavier aircraft
Behind a heavier arrival a departure could lift off after the touchdown point of the arriving aircraft
Behind a heavier arrival an arrival could remain above the flight path and touch down beyond the touchdown point of the leading aircraft
True or false, a pilot can waive wake turbulence following any activity of a medium weight class aircraft
True
