Lesson 1.6

Question 1

MATS ACC > Glossary

NON-RADAR ROUTE

Answer 1

A route on which an aircraft is able to determine its position, track and, consequently, the minimum IFR altitude without the benefit of radar information.

Question 2

MATS ACC > Glossary

VECTOR
A.
B.

Answer 2

A. A heading given by a controller to a pilot to provide navigational guidance.
B. To issue headings to an aircraft for the purpose of providing navigational guidance by means of surveillance.

Question 3

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring

Vector an aircraft if any of following apply:
■
■
■
■

Answer 3

■ It is necessary for separation. +
■ It is required for noise abatement procedures.
■ You or the aircraft will gain an operational advantage.
■ The pilot requests it.

+ PTL, RBL, and PIV functions may be used to determine that a turn has been initiated.

Question 4

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Initiation
If you initiate vectoring, inform the pilot of the following:
■
■

Answer 4

■ The purpose of vectors and/or the point to which the aircraft is being vectored.
■ If applicable, the status of the aircraft’s SID or STAR.

Question 5

MATS ACC > Surveillance > Vectoring
Before vectoring an aircraft, ensure that it can be established on the cleared route without requiring _________________ while within _____________
__________.

Answer 5

navigation assistance

ATS surveillance coverage

Question 6

MATS ACC > Glossary

HEADING

Answer 6

The direction in which the longitudinal axis of an aircraft is pointed, usually expressed in degrees from north (true, magnetic, compass or grid north).

Question 7

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Methods
Vector an aircraft by specifying one of the following:
■
■
■

Answer 7

■ The heading to be flown
■ The direction of the turn and the heading to be flown after completion of the turn
■ The direction of the turn and the number of degrees to turn

Question 8

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance
If you vector an aircraft off a cleared route, ensure that adequate ____________ is provided.

Answer 8

terrain clearance

Question 9

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance
Provide terrain clearance by requiring the aircraft to operate at or ________________________ specified for the area within which the aircraft is being _______.

Answer 9

above the minimum IFR altitude

vectored

Question 10

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance

When vectored awy from the cleared route, pilots may be unable to determine their aircraft’s exact position. In such cases, the controller is responsible for:
■

Answer 10

■ Assigning altitudes that ensure obstacle and terrain clearance

Question 11

MATS ACC > Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation > ATS Surveillance Separation From a Prominent Obstruction

When an aircraft is at an established minimum vectoring altitude that does not provide adequate clearance above a prominent obstruction, vector the aircraft by
one of the following minima:
■
■ 
—
— 
—

Note: The buffer must be displayed at the required ____ _________________ distance from the _________.

Answer 11

■ 5 miles, if the position of the obstruction is indicated on CSiT or NARDS
■ 3 miles, if the following apply:
— Terminal control service is being provided.
— CSiT or NARDS displays a maximum range of 120 miles from left to right.
— The obstruction is enclosed within a circular buffer that is indicated on CSiT or NARDS. (Figure 39)

Note:
ATS surveillance separation
obstruction

Question 12

MATS ACC > Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination
You may terminate vectoring of an aircraft, provided any of the following apply to the aircraft:
■
■
■

Answer 12

■ It is cleared for an approach.
■ It is cleared to hold.
■ It is established on the cleared route without requiring navigation assistance.

Question 13

MATS ACC > Surveillance > Vectoring > Vectoring Termination

An aircraft that is on a track that will intercept the ‘‘on course’’ within a _______________ is considered to be established on the ____________.

Answer 13

reasonable distance

cleared route

Question 14

MATS ACC >ATS Surveillance > Position Information

Inform the pilot of the aircraft’s position when any of the following apply:
■ 
■ 
■ 
■

Answer 14

■ Identification is established by an identifying turn.
■ Vectoring is terminated, unless you know the pilot has the information.
■ The pilot requests the information.
■ You deem it necessary.
