Lesson 103 Flashcards
MATS ACC - GLOSSARY
CORRELATION
An automated or manual function that matches ATS surveillance data with flight plan data.
MATS ACC > Surveillance ATS > SSRs and Aircraft Codes
- Instruct pilots of transponder-equipped aircraft to reply to _______________ by assigning the appropriate code. If required, you may assign ____________________________. ⓘ
- As pilot workload during ___________ and _________ is extremely high, avoid issuing ___________________ during these phases of flight.
- Instruct pilots of transponder-equipped aircraft to reply to SSR interrogation by assigning the appropriate code. If required, you may assign special condition codes. ⓘ
- As pilot workload during departure and arrival is extremely high, avoid issuing code changes during these phases of flight.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > SSRs and Aircraft Codes > Transponders
If the PPS or data tags for a particular aircraft is not displayed as expected:
■
■
If an aircraft’s transponder appears to be unserviceable or malfunctioning, ____________ and, if appropriate, the ___________ or ______. If an aircraft’s transponder is set to _________ or __________, inform the adjacent sector or unit.
Note: When this information has been passed electronically, ________________ is also required.
Instruct a pilot to turn _______ on or off, as necessary.
Note:
- Aircraft are expected to have Mode C turned on without ___________________.
- With some transponders, Mode C cannot be turned off without turning off the transponder.
■ Instruct the pilot to reset the transponder, stating the currently assigned code.
■ If resetting the transponder does not resolve the problem, assign a different code.
inform the pilot adjacent sector unit standby turned off
verbal coordination

instruction from ATC
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > SSRs and Aircraft Codes > Code Assignment
Assign an aircraft a _____________ in preference to a ____________________. ⓘ
NOTE: If a discrete code is not assigned by ATC: ■ - - ■ - -
discrete code
non-discrete code
NOTE: If a discrete code is not assigned by ATC:
■ VFR aircraft use the following non-discrete codes:
- 12500 ASL and below; 1200
- Above 12500 ASL; 1400
■ IFR and CVFR aircraft use the following non-discrete codes:
- HLA: 2000
- LLA: 1000
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > SSRs and Aircraft Codes > Code Assignment
You may assign a non-discrete code to either of the following:
■
■
■ An aircraft that has canceled or closed its IFR flight plan and is not requesting further surveillance service
■ A VFR aircraft for which ATS surveillance service is being terminated.
ⓘ Due to system limitations regarding the number of codes, minimize discrete code assignment changes.
MATS ACC > Glossary
PPS
PRESENT POSITION SYMBOL (PPS)
The visual indication, in symbolic form, on a situation display, of the position of an aircraft, aerodrome vehicle, or other object obtained after automatic processing of positional data.
MATS ACC > Glossary
CJS
CONTROLLER JURISDICTION SYMBOL (CJS) Symbol that identifies a sector.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > ATS Surveillance Equipment > Situation Display
Display and monitor: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ When using a CSit situation display, ensure that the following settings are applied: ■ ■ ■
Inset windows can obstruct jurisdictional aircraft. Use with caution.
■ Uncorrelated targets
■ CJSs
■ Coast list in a full format showing all pertinent information (to enable prompt detection of newly decorrelated aircraft)
■ Altitude readouts (mode C)
■ Current weather data and history, as necessary, for the provision of severe weather information
■ VMI
■ Appropriate geographic map
■ PPS brightness is at least one level higher than other elements on the display
■ Inset windows are placed outside sector boundaries or in areas where they do not obstruct jurisdictional traffic.
■ Data tags include minima as indicated in the following table.

Alpha Data Tag
A data tag associated with a CJS of the jurisdictional controller.
MATS ACC > Glossary
Bravo Data Tag
A data tag associated with a present position symbol with a CJS other than that of the jurisdictional controller.
