10.3.4.9 Closing speeds requirements?
10.3.4.9 Closing speeds
Closing speed between aircraft may exist, provided that:
a) separation is in excess of the minimum distance required;
b) distance checks are made at intervals not exceeding 15 min; and
c) when aircraft are cruising at levels not vertically separated, the closing speed is not greater than 35 kt IAS or Mach 0.06.
MNT Requirements?
Mach Number Technique
When applying MNT:
a) only apply between jet aircraft with approved SCNS;
b) do not assign a block level clearance;
c) use a common point, defined as:
i) a geographical point on the aircraft’s track over which both aircraft will
fly; or
ii) a point along the individual track of each aircraft which is equidistant
from the geographical point described in ‘i)’; and
d) base application on the requirement that the last assigned Mach number will be
maintained at all times, including during any climbs or descents.
Checking the distance requirements?
- Check the distance between aircraft at least every 30 minutes
- Or at sufficient intervals to ensure that the required separation is maintained.

[Safety Alert]?, Restricted airspace (or Military operating area) active, [SUGGEST] Turn Left/right immediately heading (three digits)
When unauthorised deviation into restricted area or military operating area is unavoidable:
Unable to issue clearance. Proceed at your own risk. Squawk 7700. [Control services terminated?]
A Singapore A350 falls off ADSB and turns into a triangle.

Phraseology for an aircraft who is about to experience an unauthorised descent into another aircraft?
Prioritise telling the other, complying, aircraft to turn first.
AVOIDING ACTION, turn (L/R) IMMEDIATELY heading 090/180/270/360.

Northbound:
Brisbane ATC will advise Port Moresby FIS of the position report prior to Daru.
When you receive an ETO alert, what methods can you use to remove it or review it’s integrity?
Reasons to clear an ETO:
a) If a discrepancy still exists, calculate an ATC estimate using the last received
ATO and the pilot reported ground speed.
b) i. the aircraft’s current and next position are wholly contained within Class G
airspace; and
ii. the position report and/or estimate has been checked.
Else:
14.4.14.2 ETO alert
When you receive an ETO alert that you cannot resolve by other means, request
the ground speed and confirm the estimate with the pilot.
14.4.14.2.1
14.4.14.2.2
Estimate validation
Consider the estimate valid if:
a) the pilot reported ground speed is within 10 kt of the displayed ground
speed; and
b) the PETO in question equals the pilot advised estimate
