What is a Basic Service
Is an ATS provided for the purpose of giving advice + information useful for the safe + efficient conduct of flights.
May include wx, changes to ‘s’ of facilities, general airspace activity + any information likely to affect safety
Briefly describe the NT/TIA co-ordination agreement (11)
1-Silent H/O of all aircraft unless PSR or SSR failure of either NT or NV, then an individual H/O is required for all aircraft. (Clear of confliction and not subject to coordination with another agency)
2- If NT is closed, CAS is PC East Sector, and need to coordinate with them as NT procedure doesn’t exist whilst closed.
3- Any northbound traffic transiting within 30nm of NT will be pre noted to NT. Including VFR traffic routing north of Durham city
4- N departures, ROCAS, not above 80, pre note to NT with ETD and requested level. (Then advise NT of ATD)
If NT can’t work then co ordinate with PC East or Swan as appropriate
5- pass T/I to NT on Draken movements if appropriate (they can work if they want)
6- NV GASKO FL130 dep and NT will not descend inbound traffic to FL140 until 5nm north of NV 23 extended C/L
7- NV have operational access to the portion of CAS between TILNI & UVAVU up to FL125, NV must inform NT if they use this part of airspace
8- NV dep crossing north of GASKO inside CAS… pre note NT 10 mins prior to dep, detailing ETD, routing and requested crossing level. NT issue crossing clearance and maximum cleared level. Pass ATD. If no clearance given from NT the a/c must ROCAS
9- a/c inbound to NT ROCAS may decent to FL90 without coordination, further descent once clear of NV CAS
10- NT squawks are deemed validated and verified, minus 3767 is the listening squawk.
11- NT pre note all traffic below FL100 southbound ROCAS. Also inform NV if any slow climbing traffic may not reach TILNI at FL140
Describe the liaison and coordination between ADC and Approach
(5 & 8)
APS inform ADC of
1- a/c making an instrument approach. Pass ETA/SSR code and 10nm check. Landing clearance requested by 4nm from touchdown if staying on APS frequency
2- arriving a/c wishing to make a vis app & inbound VFR traffic
3- overflying a/c which will pass within 5nm of the airfield below 2500ft AMSL or any other position likely to affect ADC traffic
4- issue clearances for dep a/c
5- ensure ADC is aware of the training requirements and the responsibility for sep will remain with APC
ADC informs APS of
1- coordinate all dep (SVFR/IFR/VFR) including MAP. Obtain clearances from APS
2- inform on cct activity (opposite rwy etc)
3- runway in use
4- VFR a/c which make their first call on TWR freq
5- start up/taxi/airborne times via intercom
6- Flow regarding CTOTs
7- inform on delays/diversions
8- any a/c subject to RD is not to be lined up until permission from APS is received
Under what circumstances would you coordinate transit aircraft with TWR?
Overflying a/c which will pass within 5nm of the airfield below 2500ft AMSL or in any other position likely to be relevant to a/c under the control of ADC
Briefly describe the Leeming/TIA coordination agreement
(9)
1- the 2 SW CTA segments = the stubs
2- NV = administrative control of stubs and XE= operational access
3- XE to pass T/I before entering CAS/Stubs and IFR standard sep at all times
4- XE may ask to enter NV CTR to facilitate an expeditious recovery of a/c. NV will if able grant crossing clearance and stipulate any conditions (not below 2500ft on NV QNH)
5- NV notify XE on any arriving/departing/transit traffic likely to effect XE
6- NV inform XE on all IFR departures (SW/S/SE)
7- Inbound rwy05 and rwy16 must have lateral separation
8- if either unit is without SSR all LARS transits under TS or DS will be subject to Radar H/O
9- gap traffic = known to be at or below 500ft AGL doesn’t need to be notified to NV. Gap traffic above 500ft AGL must be notified to NV. If NV SSR is u/s then all gap traffic must be passed.
Describe the dimensions and classification of CTR/CTA
CTR - sfc to 6000ft
CTA1 - 1200ft to 6000ft
CTA2 - 1500ft to 6000ft
CTA3 - 3000ft to 6000ft

(7)

3- radio contact is not established at the time it is expected
4- radio contact is lost
5- erratic behaviour of an a/c or postion symbol is observed

A pilot reports wind shear on final approach. What is the standard phraseology for passing this information to subsequent a/c
1- the warning of the presence of wind shear
2- the height or height band where the shear encountered
3- the time it encountered
4- details of the effect of wind shear (speed gain, loss. Change of drift)
