MATS 2 - Section 4 - Approach Control & Approach Radar Flashcards
In accordance to which document do Oxford APP/APS provide services to aircraft?
CAP 774, UK FIS
At what level(s) and range must a transit aircraft be offered to ADC to work?
2500 feet (QNH) at a range of 5 NM
When should transfer of communication of an aircraft completing at instrument approach be completed (to ADC)?
At LLZ established
In what situation could transfer of communication (to ADC) be delayed or not completed at all for an aircraft carrying out an instrument approach?
LVPs/Poor weather conditions (coordinated with tower)
What squawks must an aircraft be wearing in order for Oxford to provide a D129 crossing?
An Oxford squawk or Orcam squawk
What is the standard routing for arrivals inbound from KENET?
Via BUGUP
Where could you request the KENET inbound routes instead of BUGUP (after KENET) ?
OX
What is the procedure for a HON arrival?
Intercept and follow the VOR HON R150 outbound not below the MSA. At lead NDB(L) OX QDM 182 (HON DME 25), turn right to establish on the localiser. When established, descend to cross FAP (I-OXF DME 4.7) at 1800 feet QNH then continue as for main procedure.
Is the HON direct arrival procedure available without the DME?
No.
What must you consider when an aircraft requests the HON direct arrival procedure?
Do you have the required minima of 1000 feet between the direct arrival aircraft and other IFR aircraft in the hold?
There is no published direct arrival to the NDB(L) RWY 01. What conditions must be met, outside of published radar hours, for an aircraft in receipt of a PS to position straight in?
If the pilot confirms they are continuing visually or VFR.
AND
EGVN have approved entry into the CTR.
What is the lowest HOLDING level for the NDB?
3500 ft (QNH)
What is the next available holding level after 3500 feet?
The first available level separated by at least 1000 ft.
Can an aircraft who does not require a hold be cleared direct outbound from 2500 ft (QNH)?
Yes. If the aircraft is level at 2500 ft before it reaches 5 mins flying time from the OX and the associates holding pattern.
When are EATs issued to pilots at Oxford?
On request from the pilot
Or
Where the aircraft are holding for weather improvement where the delay is expected to exceed 20 mins.
How many holding patterns are available at the OX?
2
Describe the racetrack pattern available at the OX for the NDB(L) RWY 01 approach.
Pattern 1 - a one minute racetrack patterns approaching the NDB(L) OX on a track of 097M turning left at the OX.
Describe the racetrack pattern available at the OX for the NDB(L) RWY 19, the ILS/DME/NDB(L) RWY 19, and the LOC/DME/NDB(L) RWY 19 approaches?
A one minute racetrack pattern approaching NDB(L) OX on a track of 336M turning right at the OX.
If a pilot requests a level to join the hold, which should you offer?
What if it’s for practice holds?
The lowest available level.
Practice - consider a level higher than the lowest in order to facilitate the departure and arrival of other IFR aircraft.
After a pilot reports entering the hold, can they remain in the hold without making any further reports?
Yes.
If waiting for an entry to join CAS, where can departing aircraft routing towards DTY or BADIM, be held?
MORTN or outside controlled airspace.
If waiting for an entry to join CAS, where can departing aircraft routing towards KENET be held?
DILAX
Are the holds at MORTN/OX, DILAX/OX deemed separated?
No. Vertical separation must be applied at all times.
When EGVN are on runway 07 and the BZN TACAN hold is active, is the OX deemed separated?
No. Controllers must agree a course of action.
