16
Q

What are the provisos for a qualified take-off clearance?

A

Daylight hours
Visibility is 5km or greater
There is a reasonable assurance that the appropriate runway separation will exist at the time the departing aircraft commences take-off
The pilot is advised of the preceding departing or landing aircraft and will be able to keep them in sight until runway separation is in place

17
Q

What are the phraseologies used for cancelling a take-off clearance?

A

Started roll:
Callsign STOP IMMEDIATELY, Callsign STOP IMMEDIATELY followed by the nature of the emergency

Not started roll
Callsign HOLD POSITION, CANCEL TAKE-OFF I SAY AGAIN CANCEL TAKE-OFF reason

18
Q

On receipt of the initial call from an arriving aircraft, the aerodrome controller shall issue, ass appropriate:

A

A clearance into the CTR
Circuit joining instructions
Instructions to delay the aircraft’s entry into the CTR/circuit
Instruct the aircraft when to call again
Acknowledge the call where the aircraft is established on a straight in instrument approach

19
Q

What are the 6 methods for sequencing an aircraft?

A

Enter the circuit at a specified position and/or level
Follow a specified circuit or part circuit
Hold over a specified position
Orbit from a particular position
Extend or shorten legs of the circuit
Follow any other specified manoeuvre or combinations of the above compatible with safety

20
Q

What are the phraseologies given to aircraft to sequence, adjust or delay their approach?

A

CLIMB STRAIGHT AHEAD
ORBIT
MAKE SHORT APPROACH
EXTEND DOWNWIND
CONTINUE APPROACH

21
Q

What limitations could a pilot have when trying to sight another aircraft?

A

The field of view from the cockpit
The contrast formed by an aircraft and its background
Glare from the sun
Restricted visibility caused by haze or other conditions
The possibility of misidentification of the subject aircraft. If the is any doubt or if the pilot reports difficulty sighting the aircraft action shall be taken to ensure that adequate separation is maintained

22
Q

What are the elements of a landing clearance?

A

Callsign
Significant change in MET information already given to the aircraft
Runway surface conditions
Other temporary hazards
Any special instructions relating to turning off the runway after landing
Cautionary advice on wake turbulence
Any qualification applicable to the clearance
RUNWAY (or GRASS or SEAL as appropriate) number
CLEARED TO LAND

23
Q

When shall a pilot report POB?

A

Prior to taxiing onto the manoeuvring area
Arriving aircraft when establishing RTF communication with aerodrome control

Whenever POB information is advised it shall be recorded on flight progress strips in accordance with MATS RAC 9

24
Q

What conditions must be met for a controller to use composite visual separation?

A

The route and intentions of the aircraft which is not in sight are known and its position can be confirmed by the approved use of an ATS surveillance system or a pilot report
Instructions shall be issued to either aircraft ass appropriate which will ensure adequate separation
Where there is a possibility of wither aircraft taking avoiding action as a result of sighting the other aircraft or receiving a safety alert from the an electronic system traffic information that would assist aircrew situational awareness shall be passed to both aircraft

25
Q

What are the aircraft wake turbulence categories?

A

L - aircraft types of 7000kg or less
M - aircraft types more than 7000kg but less that 136000kg
H - aircraft types of 136000kg or more except A388
S - A388

26
Q

What is the criteria for reduced runway separation?

A

Daylight operations only
Visibility 5km or greater and conditions do not prevent the pilot from making an early assessment of the conditions of the runway
Braking action is unlikely to be adversely affected by containments on the runway
Specified longitudinal distances are able to be readily determined by the aerodrome controller by reference to prominent markers or features
Pertinent traffic information that will enable the following aircraft to sight the preceding aircraft is issued
It is considered by the aerodrome controller that there is no risk of collision
