ISSUE WAKE TURBULENCE CAUTIONARY ADVISORIES

Question 1

(Glossary)

Traffic Advisories

Answer 1

Advisories issued to alert pilot to other known or observed air traffic which may be in such proximity to the position or intended route of flight of their aircraft to warrant their attention. Such advisories are based on:
A. Visual separation
B. Observation of radar identified and non identified aircraft targets on an ATC radar display, or
C. Verbal reports from pilots or other facilities

Question 2

(Glossary)

Numerous Targets Vicinity (location)

Answer 2

A traffic advisory issued by ATC to advise pilots that targets on the radar scope are too numerous to issue individually.

Question 3

(Glossary)

Conflict Resolution

Answer 3

The resolution of potential conflictions between aircraft that are radar identified and in communication with ATC by ensuring that radar targets do not touch. Pertinent traffic advisories shall be issued when this procedure is applied.

Question 4

(2-1-21)
General {Traffic Advisories}

Provide traffic advisory service using what procedures?

Answer 4

> to radar identified aircraft:

- azimuth from aircraft 
- when rapidly maneuvering aircraft prevent accurate issuance of traffic, give aircraft’s position in terms of the eight cardinal compass points 
- distance from aircraft in miles
- direction in which traffic is proceeding and/or relative movement of traffic
- if known, type of aircraft and altitude

Question 5

(5-5-3)
Radar Separation {target resolution}

What is target resolution?

Answer 5

A process to ensure that correlated radar targets or digitized targets do not touch.

Question 6

(2-1-21)
General {Traffic Advisories}

Issue radar vectors to assist in avoiding the traffic, provided the aircraft to be vectored is within your area of jurisdiction or coordination has been effected with the sector/facility in whose area the aircraft is operating, when:

Answer 6

It’s requested by the pilot

Question 7

(2-1-21)
General {Traffic Advisories}

If unable to provide vector service:

Answer 7

Inform the pilot

Question 8

(2-1-21)
General {Traffic Advisories}

Inform the pilot of the following when traffic you have issued is not reported in sight:

Answer 8

> the traffic is no factor
the traffic is no longer depicted on radar

TRAFFIC NO FACTOR/NO LONGER OBSERVED
Or
(#) O’CLOCK TRAFFIC NO FACTOR/NO LONGER OBSERVED
Or
(Direction) TRAFFIC NO FACTOR/NO LONGER OBSERVED

Question 9

(2-1-21)
General {Traffic Advisories}

To aircraft that are not radar identified:

Answer 9

> distance and direction from fix
direction in which traffic is proceeding
if known, type of aircraft and altitude
ETA over the fix the aircraft is approaching, if appropriate

TRAFFIC (#) MILES/MINUTES (direction) OF (airport or fix), (direction)-BOUND
Or
TRAFFIC, NUMEROUS AIRCRAFT VICINITY (location)

Question 10

(5-5-3)
Radar Separation {target resolution}

Mandatory traffic advisories and safety alerts must be issued when:

Answer 10

This procedure is used

Question 11

(5-5-3)
Radar Separation {target resolution}

Target resolutions must be applied as follows:

Answer 11

> between the edges of two primary targets or the edges of primary digitized targets

> between the end of the beacon control slash and the edge of a primary target or primary digitized target

> between the ends of two beacon control slashes
