Lesson 37

Question 1

define vector

Answer 1

heading issued to an a/c to provide navigational guidance by radar

Question 2

reasons for vectoring a/c

Answer 2

• separation: from other a/c, airspace

- safety

Question 3

minimum IFR altitude (MIA) designated mountainous area

Answer 3

2000 ft above highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 miles

Question 4

minimum IFR altitude other than mountainous areas

Answer 4

1000 ft above highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 miles

Question 5

minimum vectoring altitude (MVA)

Answer 5

meets IFR obstacle clearance criteria. May be utilized for radar vectoring only upon the controller’s determination that an adequate radar return is being received from a/c being controlled

Question 6

Vector an IFR a/c if it is:

Answer 6

• within controlled airspace
• at or above the appropriate minimum altitude
• within your area of jurisdiction unless coordinated
• permitted to resume its own navigation within radar coverage

Question 7

when initiating a vector,

Answer 7

advise the pilot of the purpose and what to expect when the vector is completed

Question 8

determine the appropriate heading for vectoring based on these factors:

Answer 8

• wind
• weather
• traffic
• pilot requests

Question 9

allow for increased compliance time and distance when a/c is at…

Answer 9

higher altitude and/or greater airspeed

Question 10

consider these conditions to obtain desired track

Answer 10

• effects of wind
• ground speed
• turning distance

Question 11

techniques when vectoring

Answer 11

• utilize minimum heading changes

- turn slower a/c behind faster a/c if both are similar distances from converging points
