Lesson 33

Question 1

When using only Mode 3/A radar beacon to identify a target use one of the following methods

Answer 1

• request a/c to ident
• request a/c to change to a computer assigned code
• observe change in track of a/c squawking a discrete computer assigned code (FDB appears)

Question 2

Identify a primary target by…

Answer 2

• observing a target whose position with respect to a fix/visual representation corresponds with a position report from a/c; fix must be displayed on map overlap, observed track is consistent with reported heading/route
• observing a target making an identifying turn of 30 degrees or more provided a/c is in your airspace, above MIA in the area

Question 3

If identification is questionable…

Answer 3

• take immediate action to reidentify the a/c

- or terminate radar service

Question 4

Inform a/c of its position when identified by…

Answer 4

• beacon methods

- turns

Question 5

Position information need not be given when a/c is identified by…

Answer 5

position correlation

Question 6

Inform an a/c when radar service is terminated because…

Answer 6

• identification is no longer necessary

- a/c proceeds into nonradar coverage area

Question 7

Radar service is automatically terminated and the a/c need not be advised of termination when…

Answer 7

• a/c cancels IFR flight plan except in class B/C or where basic radar service is provided
• a/c conducting instrument, visual or contact apch has either landed or been instructed to change to advisory frequency

Question 8

an arriving a/c shall be informed when radar service is terminated at tower controlled airports where radar coverage does not exist to…

Answer 8

within 1/2 mile of the end of the runway

Question 9

an a/c resumes normal position reporting when atc advises…

Answer 9

• radar contact is lost or

- radar service is terminated

Question 10

an a/c will discontinue reporting over compulsory reporting points when…

Answer 10

it has been radar identified

Question 11

retain the data block until…

Answer 11

• a/c has exited the sector

- all potential conflicts have been resolved

Question 12

required items to be displayed in the FDB include

Answer 12

• acid

- interim/assigned/reported altitude

Question 13

a flight must satisfy the following conditions before it is eligible for automatic track initiation

Answer 13

• must have a stored flight plan

- must have discrete code

Question 14

flat track: if a/c is in lateral tolerance but out of longitudinal tolerance the computer will…

Answer 14

• calculate new flight plan position
• issue updated times
• remains in flat track

Question 15

flat track: if a/c is out of lateral tolerance it will…

Answer 15

• change to free track until it returns to within lateral tolerance

Question 16

for vectors, wx deviations, and other changes in route of flight the controller must…

Answer 16

• enter amended route for a/c to remain in flat track
