Q

What should be noted about helicopter clearance limits?

A

If a helicopter’s clearance limit is a point in the circuit the controller can let it continue or change its clearance limit but must provide a sequence when necessary.

Q

What changes will occur to helicopter landing procedures in March?

A

Helicopters will only land on uncontrolled surfaces which will result in a change of phraseology for airport controllers.

Q

What guidance does MATS provide regarding issuing clearances for surfaces other than a runway?

A

If a pilot requests to land on or take off from a surface other than a runway or an approved area provide traffic and obstruction information control instructions and inform the pilot that landing or takeoff will be at their discretion.

25
Q

What is the phraseology for takeoff or landing clearance from an unapproved area?

A

The phraseology is ‘LAND AT YOUR DISCRETION ON FROM [location].’ Possible locations include areas at or adjacent to the airport areas in the control zone but not at the airport water aerodromes temporary landing areas in the control zone and taxiways only in an emergency.

26
Q

What is the difference between air taxi and hover taxi according to MATS?

A

Air taxi is the movement of a helicopter or VTOL aircraft above the surface of an aerodrome but normally not above 100 ft AGL at airspeeds over 20 knots. Hover taxi is the movement above the surface in ground effect at airspeeds less than approximately 20 knots.

27
Q

What should controllers do when helicopters are repositioning on the field?

A

Controllers should offer a wind check if the wind is 15 knots or more and must ensure safety by avoiding overflying persons vehicles or aircraft.

28
Q

What is the recommended procedure for helicopter air taxi clearance?

A

Clear helicopters to air taxi unless the pilot has requested hover taxi or the unit manager has directed that helicopters taxi only via hover mode in specified situations.

29
Q

What should be included in a clearance to or from the takeoff or landing area?

A

Include the specific route if necessary due to traffic and in an air or hover taxi clearance include specific route details due to traffic or known ground hazards.

30
Q

What wind information should be provided to pilots during helicopter operations?

A

Wind direction and speed should be provided especially considering the absence of visual cues at night or in low visibility conditions.

31
Q

What is the primary concern when authorizing helicopter taxi operations?

A

Do not clear a helicopter to air or hover taxi if it will result in flight over persons vehicles or aircraft.

32
Q

How should controllers handle communication transfer for a single-piloted helicopter?

A

Do not request a frequency change while the helicopter is air taxiing hovering or flying at low level to avoid distractions during critical phases of flight.

33
Q

What must ground and tower controllers do regarding helicopter movements?

A

They must be aware of pending helicopter movements for traffic coordination and to implement possible restrictions.

34
Q

What is the communication process for helicopter departures?

A

The ground controller issues runway wind altimeter squawk code and contact instructions coordinating with the airport controller to fit the helicopter into the departure sequence.

35
Q

What should be done if a helicopter is landing on a controlled surface?

A

No coordination with the ground controller is necessary if the helicopter is landing on a controlled surface where the tower has ownership.

36
Q

What are codes 60 and 66 used for in helicopter operations?

A

Code 60 is used for helicopters landing on the north apron or departing the helipad. Code 66 is used for helicopters landing at March Hospital.

37
Q

What phraseology must be used for a helicopter to pass behind another aircraft?

A

The phraseology is ‘ADVISE/REPORT TRAFFIC IN SIGHT’ followed by ‘PASS BEHIND’ after the pilot confirms they have the traffic in sight.

38
Q

How are helicopter circuits modified compared to fixed-wing circuits?

A

Helicopters may conduct circuits parallel to the runway fly smaller circuit dimensions and maintain a lower circuit altitude.

39
Q

What restrictions apply to helicopter landings while other aircraft are taxiing?

A

A helicopter may be permitted to land on the threshold of a runway while another aircraft is taxiing on the opposite end provided traffic is exchanged and appropriate restrictions are applied.

40
Q

What is the conclusion objective of the Helicopters Basic Airport Control Course?

A

The objective is to recall the performance characteristics of helicopters respond to aircraft requests issue initial clearance or take-off authorization sequence if necessary and issue landing clearance or authorization as necessary.

41
Q

What is the purpose of practicing circuits for pilots?

A
42
Q

Describe how helicopter circuits can be modified.

A
43
Q

Do helicopters fly the same types of circuits as fixed-wing aircraft?

A

Briefly explain.

44
Q

What is the purpose of an autorotation?

A
45
Q

What are some performance characteristics of helicopters?

A

7 total.

47
Q

On initial contact what are three clearances you can give a pilot?

A
50
Q

Describe the difference between air taxi and hover taxi.

A
51
Q

When should you not clear a helicopter to air or hover taxi?

A
52
Q

Explain how the coordination between tower and ground occurs when a helicopter is departing and arriving.

A

What is a 66?

A
54
Q

What is a 60?

A

Q

Are controllers permitted to issue altitude restrictions to helicopters?

A
56
Q

What must the controller issue regarding wind speed and direction to a helicopter in a take-off clearance?

A
57
Q

What should the controller avoid if he is in communication with a single-piloted helicopter operating at low level?

A
58
Q

State whether the controller must use ‘at your discretion’ or ‘cleared for’ for the following departure areas used by a helicopter: a. An active runway b. Bravo taxiway c. East apron d. The localizer road e. An inactive runway f. The March Hospital helipad.

A
