When issuing a clearance or approving a pilot’s request, except for reasons of _________, follow noise abatement procedures. Even in the absence of established procedures, avoid clearing or directing aircraft that generate significant noise over a ___________________, particularly at _____.

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: ■ ■ — — —
■ 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.
MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance
When an established minimum vectoring altitude does not provide adequate clearance above a prominent obstruction, vector an aircraft using techniques provided in ATS Surveillance Separation From a Prominent Obstruction.
Understand - follow rules for 5 or 3 miles

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Vectoring > Obstruction Clearance
Provide terrain clearance by requiring the aircraft to operate at or above the minimum IFR altitude specified for the area within which the aircraft is being vectored.
When vectored away from the cleared route, pilots may be unable to determine their aircraft’s exact position. In such cases, the controller is responsible for:
◾
◾
For low-level fixed RNAV route operations such as T-routes, controllers may vector aircraft within the controlled airspace depicted as 10 miles either side of the prescribed route centre line. In doing so, they must use the appropriate minimum IFR altitude — excluding the airway MEA or MOCA. The MEA or the MOCA can be used only by an aircraft navigating along the centre line of such route.
◾Assigning altitudes that ensure obstacle and terrain clearance
◾Correcting for cold temperature if using a 100 NM Safe Altitude or Minimum Sector Altitude outside an MVA
