Issue Appraoch/Arrival Information Flashcards
(2-9-2)
When do you make a new ATIS recording?
> upon receipt of any new official weather regardless of whether there is or is not a change in values
> when runway braking action reports are received that indicate runway braking is worse than that which is included in the current ATIS broadcast
> when there is a change in any other pertinent data, such as runway change, instrument approach in use, new or canceled NOTAMs/PIREPs/HIWAS update, etc
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
When do you give aircraft current approach information for airports within your control?
Upon initial contact
(5-10-2)
Approach Information
Altimeter setting, ceiling/visibility and pertinent info on known airport conditions if they are considered necessary to the safe operation of the aircraft concerned.
After the first approach, if repeated approaches are made and no change has occurred what can you do?
Omit all the information, besides known changes classified as special observation.
(RDR/GF Appch OL: 6(all)
Inbound Aircraft
RAPCON shall forward inbound aircraft to the tower no later than how many flying miles?
15 flying miles
(RDR/GF Appch OL: 13.5)
What information does RAPCON forward to tower for VFR UAS arrivals entering the class Delta?
>callsign >direction aircraft is entering class delta (NW, SW, etc) prior to the UAS reaching the boundary of Class D Surface area
(Phraseology “stage” must be used)
(319 OSS/CBP OL: 6.3)
IFR Arrival
What will the aircraft do when RAPCON clears the aircraft to either REAPR or GRIFF for the IFR arrival?
The aircraft will proceed direct to the appropriate arrival point (REAPR or GRIFF) and spiral down to assigned altitude. Approach will then issue the appropriate approach clearance, UAS 17 or 35 approach.
(319 OSS/CBP OL: 6.4)
IFR UAS Approaches
ATC will clear the aircraft to one of the:
UAS IAF and issue approach clearance.
(319 OSS/CBP OL: 6.5)
VFR Operations
What are the approved engine out procedures?
> the High and Tight pattern
>the Spiraling Overhead pattern
(GH OL: 5.3)
What is the RQ-4 pilot allowed to do once cleared for the approach?
they are cleared to fly the Global Hawk mission plan approach, including routing and altitudes, unless amended by ATC.
(GH OL: 5.6.2.2)
Lost Link Arrival
What will aircraft do if link is lost during arrival within the KRDR Class D and TFR 99.7 airspace at or below 10,000’ MSL?
Aircraft will continue descent and execute an approach to land at KRDR.

Operating Procedures
Rapidly changing conditions will be issued by:
ATC
(2-9-2)
Operating Procedures
Ask the pilot to confirm receipt of the current ATIS information if the pilot does not:
Initially state the appropriate ATIS code
(2-9-2)
Operating Procedures
What information do you give to aircraft that are unable to receive the current ATIS?
> current weather
runway in use
approach information
pertinent NOTAMs
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
When can approach information be omitted?
If the pilot states the appropriate ATIS code
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
For pilots destined to an airport without an ATIS, what do you give?
> approach clearance or type approach to be expected if two or more approaches are published and the clearance limit does not indicate which will be used
> runway if different from that to which the instrument approach is made
> surface wind
> ceiling and visibility if the reported ceiling at the airport of intended landing is below 1,000’ or below the highest circling minimum, whichever is greater, or the visibility is less than 3 miles
> altimeter setting for the airport of intended landing
