Lesson 303

Question 1

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments

Express the speed adjustment using either of the following methods:
■
■

Answer 1

■ 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.

Question 2

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments Except when the aircraft has been cleared for an _______, advise the aircraft to resume normal speed when a speed adjustment is no longer necessary.

Answer 2

approach

Question 3

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Communication and Coordination > Control Transfer > Responsibilities of Transferring Controller

Relay the following to the receiving controller:

■

Answer 3

■ The appropriate flight data and control information, including amendments.

Question 4

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Altitude Readouts > Altitude Readout Limitations

Use altitude readouts of aircraft under the jurisdiction of another controller to determine aircraft altitudes only if either of the following applies:
■
■

Answer 4

■ The other controller has confirmed the aircraft’s altitude.
■ On handoff, the transferring controller does not inform you that an aircraft’s altitude readout is invalid or not validated.

Question 5

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Altitude Readouts > Altitude Readout Limitations

Do not use altitude readouts when the site altimeter setting for the geographic region concerned is _______________ or _________.

Answer 5

below 26.00 or above 33.00

Question 6

MATS ACC > Separation > Vertical Separation > Maintaining Vertical Separation > Assigning Altitudes

You may assign an altitude only after another aircraft previously at that altitude, or climbing or descending through that altitude, has reported or is observed doing one of the following: 
■ 
■ 
— 
—

Answer 6

■ Vacating or passing the altitude you want to assign
■ Vacating or passing an altitude separated by the appropriate minimum from the altitude you want to assign, and one of the following applies:
— Severe turbulence exists.
— The aircraft previously at the altitude you want to assign has been issued a cruise climb.

Question 7

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 below and in the following sections. ⓘ ⓘ Factors that could affect traffic sequence include: 
◾ 
◾ 
◾  
◾ 
◾ 
◾

Answer 7

◾ 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
