INDICATED AIRSPEED
Uncorrected reading on the airspeed indicator
MATS ACC > Glossary
TRUE AIR SPEED
The airspeed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air.
Terminav
MACH NUMBER
The ratio of the speed of an object to the local speed of sound.
MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics
If the type of separation or the minimum used to separate aircraft cannot be _________, take action to ensure that another type of separation _____, or another minimum is established, before the current separation becomes _________.
maintained
exists
insufficient
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
If required to ______ or ______ required spacing or to _______________, instruct a surveillance-controlled aircraft to adjust its speed.+++
Express the speed adjustment using either of the following methods:
■
■
achieve
maintain
minimize vectoring
■ In units or multiples of 10 knots, based on IAS
■ If the aircraft is a turbojet operating in high-level airspace, by assigning a Mach number
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
Aircraft complying with speed adjustments are expected to maintain a speed within ______ of the specified speed.
10 knots
MATS ACC > Appendix: Communication > Communication Fundamentals > Values and Units > Speed
Express speed using ____________ either in ____ or with the __________.
separate digits
knots
Mach number
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
When making speed adjustments, use the guidelines provided in Table: Speed Adjustment Guidelines . You may assign speeds that are ____________________ in Table: Speed Adjustment Guidelines only after coordinating with _______.
lower than those specified
the pilot
See table - Speed Adjustement Guidelines
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
NOTE:
Use of __ with INCREASE/REDUCE SPEED or DECEND instruction may be omitted where it is redundant or could be mistaken for the number ____.
TO
TWO
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
NOTE: Simultaneous descent and speed reduction can be a difficult manoeuvre for some types of turbojet aircraft. It may be necessary for the pilot to level off temporarily and reduce speed prior to descending. Specifying which action is to be ____________ first removes any doubt the pilot may have concerning _____________ or ______.
accomplished
controller intent
priority
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
If required to ______ or _______ required spacing or to minimize vectoring, instruct a pilot to adjust the aircraft’s speed.+++
+ Repetitive and constant decreases and increases in speed should be used only if required because of _______________, _________, ___________, or ____________.
+ In the interest of safety, environmental impact, controller workload, and reduced operating costs, do not specify the ___________________ when a ___________________speed would suffice.
achieve
maintain
traffic flow
traffic levels
pilot workload
airspace design
minimum aircraft speed
higher speed
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments
Except when the aircraft has been _____________________, advise the aircraft to resume normal speed when a speed adjustment is ___________________________.
NOTE:
- RESUME NORMAL SPEED does not cancel ____________________________
- An ________________ supersedes a speed adjustement request, and pilots are expected to make their own speed adjustements to complete the approach, if you require aircraft to adjust speed while on approach, ________________.
cleared for an approach
no longer necessary
published speed restrictions
approach clearance
restate the request
MATS ACC > Glossary
SAME TRACK
A term used in the application of separation, indicating identical tracks or tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 1 degree to 44 degrees inclusive.
MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Control Service > Flight Priority
Provide air traffic services to aircraft on a “first come, first served” basis, and give priority as indicated in the following sections. +
+ Factors that could affect traffic sequence include:
—
—
—
—
—
—
NOTE:
- Exceptions to first come first serve are permitted when they increase ______________ and ____________________________________.
— The type of approach intended
— The types of aircraft and their relative performance
— Any specified minimum departure interval between takeoffs
— The routes to be followed after takeoff
— Wake turbulence separation minima
— Aircraft subject to ATFM
overhall efficiency
reduce the average delay
