ATS SURVEILLANCE SERVICE
A term used to indicate a service provided
directly by means of an ATS surveillance system.
MATS ACC > Glossary
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
A comparable ground-based system is one that has been demonstrated, by comparative assessment or other methodology, to have a level of safety and performance equal to or better than monopulse SSR.
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM - A generic term meaning variously, ADS-B, PSR, SSR or
any comparable ground-based system that enables the identification of aircraft.
MATS ACC > Glossary
ATS SURVEILLANCE
All methods of remotely sensing aircraft using
certified/commissioned electronic equipment including PSR, SSR, MLAT, ADS-B, without the benefit of visual observation.
MATS ACC > Glossary
RADAR ADVISORY
The provision of advice and information based on ATS
surveillance observations.
MATS ACC > Glossary
ATS SURVEILLANCE CONTROL SERVICE
Controlling aircraft by providing vectors to establish required separation between aircraft, and between aircraft and obstacles, based on information derived from surveillance equipment sources.
MATS ACC > Glossary
ATS SURVEILLANCE MONITORING
The use of ATS surveillance for providing aircraft with information and advice relative to significant deviations from their normal flight path.
MATS ACC > Glossary NAVIGATION AID (NAVAID)
–Any visual or electronic device, airborne or on
the surface of the earth, that provides point-to-point guidance information or position data to aircraft in flight.
MATS ACC > Glossary
ATS SURVEILLANCE SEPARATION
Spacing of aircraft in accordance with established minima, based on information derived from ATS surveillance.

Assistance
Unless specifically prohibited, use ATS surveillance to provide __________________ if a pilot requests it.
Navigation Assistance may be in the form of ________________, _________, or ________ and __________________.
navigation assistance
position information
vectors
track

MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > ATS Surveillance Service You may apply ATS surveillance control procedures, provided: ■ ■ ■ - - ■
■ The aircraft is identified.
■ The aircraft is in controlled airspace, except as described in Vectoring into Class G Airspace.
■ You are in direct communication with the pilot, unless:
- The aircraft has been cleared for an approach.
- You have transferred communication to the tower.
■ You are satisfied that the displayed ATS surveillance information is adequate.

Status
Verify the operating status of unit equipment in accordance with ______________ and the ______________________________.
unit procedures
user manual for the equipment
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > ATS Surveillance Equipment >
ATS Surveillance Failure or Degradation
If you are not satisfied that the displayed surveillance information is adequate:
■
■
■ Inform the supervisor or delegated authority.
■ Base subsequent control actions on direction provided in ATS directives supplemented by direction from your supervisor. If such direction is not available, base your actions on your assessment of the equipment.
MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Control Service
Issue __________ and ___________ as necessary to maintain a ______________________
_________________________________.
Provide area, terminal, or oceanic control service to:
■
■
If _________ by the ________________ CARs permits VFR operations in class A airspace.
Issue clearances and instructions as necessary to maintain a safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of traffic under the control of your unit.
■ IFR aircraft in controlled airspace
■ VFR aircraft in Class A airspace and Class B airspace.
Give priority to providing control service. Provide other services to the fullest
possible extent.
MATS ACC > Glossary
SEPARATION
The spacing between aircraft, altitudes, or tracks
MATS ACC > Glossary
ALTITUDE
The vertical distance of a level, a point or an object considered as a point,
measured from mean sea level
MATS ACC > Glossary
TRACK
The projection on the earth’s surface of the path of an aircraft, the direction of
which path at any point is usually expressed in degrees from true, magnetic or
grid north
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics
Separate aircraft consistently according to these fundamentals of safe, orderly, and expeditious control:
■
■
■
■ Planning: determine the appropriate separation minimum required
■ Executing: implement the selected standard
■ Monitoring: ensure that the planned and executed separation is maintained
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics
To ensure an expeditious flow of traffic, operate as closely to the ________________ as __________ ________. If exceptional circumstances call for extra
caution, apply ________________ than the specified minimum.
prescribed minimum
circumstances permit
greater separation
MATS ACC > Glossary
CONTROLLED AIRSPACE
An airspace of defined dimensions within which ATC service is provided.

RADAR SITE EQUIPMENT (RSE)
This system consists mostly of the _______________ housing the radar electronic equipment necessary for the ________________. They can be seen around most _____________ and at other strategic locations to provide approach and enroute radar services wherever aircraft numbers warrant.
very sizeable “golf ball”

MATS ACC > Glossaire
RADAR
Radio Detecting and Ranging
A radio detection device that provides information on range, azimuth, or elevation of objects of two types: (a) primary surveillance radar (b) secondary surveillance radar
MATS ACC > Glossaire
PSR
PRIMARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR (PSR)
A radar system that detects objects by means of reflected radio signals

SSR
SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR
A radar system that requires complementary aircraft equipment (transponder). The transponder generates a coded reply signal in response to transmissions
from the ground station (interrogator).
