General Section MATS 2 Flashcards

Question

During what hours is training accepted at EGNV

Answer 1

0600 - 2200 Local and during normal operating hours

Answer 2

Inform flow on the reason for the flow rate The maximum arrival rate (or zero is necessary) The timings of the restriction Inform PC Ops Supervisor also

Answer 3

Normally- 8 arrivals per hour Non radar- 4 per hour This allows for the 15 mins EAT for Runway 05

Answer 4

1- Operators using the airport shall ensure at all times aircraft are being operated in a manner to cause least disturbance practical 2- Turbojet and Turboprop aircraft approaching NV will be expected to conform to continuous descent and low power, low drag approach procedures. Aircraft should fly within speed band of 210kt-240kts during approach phase, reduce to the band 160kt-180kt at a range of 12nm, and maintain 160kt from 8nm - 4nm from touchdown 3- Pilots comply with ATC speed requirements if needed as promptly as they can 4- ATC advise on track miles from touchdown (pass when giving descent and the turn onto the heading to intercept the Loc) 5- Ground running not allowed during 2200-0700 (2100-0600) 6- Aircraft to avoid overflying MSG and Yarm and Eaglescliffe where possible

Answer 5

Mod or Serv Icing, turbulence, Serv Mountain Wave, TS with or without hail and volcanic ash …. Fill out laminated sheet in ACR file (Mats 1 appendix J ) Inform other aircraft concerned Inform MET office forecaster - they’ll issue sigmet if necessary Other ATS units concerned

Answer 6

Can be both at an altitude and ground effecting aircraft. It causes a loss or degradation of satellite based +/or ground based navigations or comms systems Pilots who encounter space WX may request to descent before the weather warning. ATC shall be mindful that the pilot may emergency descent + Squawk 7700 and advises ATC of the encounter

Answer 7

Write it on left hand page of watch log

Answer 8

Daylight hours When the wind is between NW-NE at 15kts or less

Answer 9

3nm of the reference point below 6000ft AGL unless approved by Airport General Manager

Answer 10

1- inform aircraft operating within 5nm of the UAS with reported time and height 2- if unknown UAS involved in Airprox or operated in such a manner to effect aircraft or in an area to danger aircraft inform Police 3- file MOR

Answer 11

for 30 mins following any report of UAS… 1- inform aircraft flying within 5nm and for IFR flights ask the pilots intentions 2- ATCO offer re routes to avoid the reported area, including another approach to other runway of avbl 3- notify police 4- file MOR

Answer 12

for 30 mins following any report of UAS… 1- inform aircraft of time, location and level 2- ATCO offer re routes to avoid the reported area, including another approach to other runway of avbl 3- notify police 4- file MOR

Answer 13

1- cease all movements for 30 mins from the report or until reasonable assurances can be made that the operation has ceased 2- immediately, inform pilots of who are already in flight within the ATZ or committed to land 3- notify police and ADM 4- file mor and put in watch log

Answer 14

Consists of the ATZ and the Runway Protection Zones extending 5km (2.7nm) from the threshold of the runway and 500m either side of centre line Height of 2000ft AGL FRZ H24

Answer 15

1- when requested by Aerodrome management with information this wish for it to contain 2- airfield snow closed 3- any part of the manoeuvring area is obstructed and is likely to remain so for atleast one hour 4- following aids are u/s and likely to remain so for atleast one hour; ILS, PSR, VHF Frequ, NDB, DME, Battery standby radio Lights within two hours of official nights or if vis and cloud are due to be reduced ; RUNWAY, PAPIS, APPROACH 5- following aids are u/s and likely to remain so for atleast two hour; VDF, Lights above up to two hours before official night etc, All other airfield lights, Standby Gen, Anemometer 6- RFFS is depleted during published hours 7- When the CTR/CTA is different to that stated in UK AIP 8- ATCO i/c has any other info that they consider to effect safety 9- UAS operations above 400ft within FRZ

Answer 16

When an aircraft is taking off or landing within 5nm

Answer 17

Whenever the lowest reported met visibility is less than 1500m and will continue until the lowest vis is 1500m or greater

Answer 18

Runway 05 175m - 1400m Runway 23 100m - 1000m

Answer 19

Met vis reduced to 1500m and expected to decrease, or the cloud ceiling reduces to 300ft and is expected to decrease

Answer 20

RVR or met vis is 800m or less and/or cloud ceiling is below 200ft

Answer 21

1- call adm 2- adm/aso visual inspection to ensure barriers in place (south side to get onto runway) and ILS critical areas are not infringed 3- uncover LVO signs 4- suspend all non essential WIP (clearly marked and lit) 5- adm informs atc once the above is done 6- atc cancel free flow - broadcast message (if due to cloud free flow may remain in place) 3- inform, ate, draken, fire, jet centre, gate 7, serco and radar 4- get RFFS out for RVR readings

Answer 22

1- inform aircraft on frequency 2- arriving aircraft should be vectored to intercept the LOC at a suitable range and altitude to allow period of level flight before descent on GP 3- co-ordinate increased spacing with ADC

Answer 23

1- Landing clearance must be issued no later than 5nm from touchdown 2- unless visible to VCR, any taxiing aircraft must be stationary on stand or at a designated holding point before and inbound aircraft reaches 5nm. Otherwise, MAP carried out. Can be confirmed by pilot report, CCTV or Airfield ops / AFA vehicle

Answer 24

1- dep aircraft must of commenced its take off run before an arriving aircraft reaches 8nm from touchdown to ensure protection of the LSA, otherwise dep should be instructed to hold position and MAP to be initiated 2- airborne reports 3- airfield ops may be used to escort aircraft is necessary

Answer 25

NOTAM Inform aircraft on RT or ATIS

Answer 26

Make a VFR join or occasionally request a run and break.

Answer 27

IFR initially radar positioning for an instrument approach until the pilot indicates that they wish to continue for a visual approach. If they request a run and break, need to clarify if their VFR (if so they VFR join required)

Answer 28

Radar positioning for an ILS, or radar to straight in approach
