MISC 3 Flashcards
AWF
Airspace Warning Feature - warns if targets are approaching restricted airspace. It opens the data tag, puts a PTL on the target
AMAN
Arrival Manager
Program used by FLOW (NTMU) which distributes metering time for CYYZ arrivals
Our responsibilities
- Ensure aircraft have the most current time. if the time chages and is different than the EFC time the aircraft was previously given, the new time will be in orange
- Acknowledge time updates on Exceeds and/of FDE
- Bedpost swaps not permitted. CALL NTMU
- If 2 or more aircraft are assinged the same runway with the same time provide spacing and inform the TMU
- PAM “E” for curfew exempt aircraft
- 6:20 bedpost crossing time procedure is suspended within using AMAN times
Locate Departures - 4 Methods
- Exceeds - Taxi List
Located on the lower half of the EXCDS screen, there are two columns. The column on the left displays a list of CYYZ departures that are in the taxi phase. This is the first indicator upcoming traffic departing CYYZ and allows for initial planning. - Arrivals List
The Arrival List on the CSiT screen is a very efficient way to identify upcoming traffic. New flight profiles populate in the list as a green entry. By clicking on the ident, the entry will turn white. Flight profiles populate in the Arrivals List as the aircraft departs. Clicking on the ident will display the target and route on the CSiT. - Quick Look All
By clicking the Quick Look All button, you will be able to see all aircraft below the preset altitude filter. By clicking on the target of interest, it will remain displayed on the screen after turning off the Quick Look All featur - Tag Highlight
By selecting “PI will get FULL” in the Tag Highlight section of the QAB, all linked targets that will be handed-off to Picton in the future will be displayed as an Alpha Tag, regardless of altitude filters.
PIVs
Predicted Intercept Vector
Shows distance at the cross and the time the lead aircraft reaches the cross. It also puts a small dot on the end of the line of the lead aircraft
MEDEVAC ARRIVALS and Runway Requests
Terminal is accommodating to special runway requests for MEDEVAC traffic. If an arriving MEDEVAC has a specific runway request, verbally coordinate the information with the low sector via the hotline.
AMAN Times, where are they shown?
on the FDE in orange or on the OIDS its flashing.
Traffic Management
AMAN
Ensure aircraft have the most current AMAN time prior to handing off to low sector.
Traffic Management
AMAN
Times
Controllers must acknowledge time updates on EXCDS or FDE when assigned to flight crews. If an AMAN time is missing or drops, controller must contact NTMU.
Traffic Management
AMAN
Swaps
Bedpost fix swaps are not permitted unless approved by NTMU. If the enroute sector wishes to swap times between two aircraft, they must call NTMU.
Traffic Management
AMAN
Other
If two or more aircraft are assigned same runway with the same time, provide required spacing unless coordinator approves vertical separation. Inform NTMU which aircraft is first.
During morning curfew, controllers are to PAM “E” any exempt aircraft and ignore their AMAN time.
When using AMAN times, the 6:20 bedpost crossing time procedure (see UOM) is suspended and aircraft must enter Terminal at their assigned AMAN time.
If NTMU is using any other TMI (i.e. miles in trail, or minutes in trail), then the 06:20 bedpost crossing restriction shall be in effect.
NTMU must configure AMAN in a timely manner to reflect current and planned runway configurations or changes to capacity.
If aircraft shows any ambiguity condition, it must be corrected by the controller working the aircraft as soon as possible so AMAN can profile correctly in CAATS.
Different ways to locate departures
- EXCDS
- Quick Look All
- Arrivals List (arriving into your airspace)
- Tag Highlight (although available in all sectors, this is especially useful in the BA sector as CYYZ/CYTZ/CYHM departures appear on the CSIT as soon as they become Linked)
PROJECT AND ASSESS THE FLIGHT PLANNED ROUTE
After the departing flight and has been identified, asses the flight planned altitude and route to assess the following:
* Routes requiring modification (i.e., non-preferential routes, due to active military airspace)
* Routing/altitude confliction with other traffic
* Direct routing potential
*When considering sending an aircraft direct, be mindful of the impact on adjacent sectors and the additional coordination that may be required.
Integrate departing aircraft into a traffic flow.
LIST
-LOCATE THE DEPARTURE
-PROJECT AND ASSESS THE FLIGHT PLANNED ROUTE
-ACCEPT HAND-OFF
-DISPLAY ROUTE AND IDENTIFY CONFLICTS
-AIRCRAFT CHECKS IN
-CLIMB DEPARTURES TO A REASONABLY ACCEPTED ALTITUDE
Concordia Climb Control
We do NOT have control for climb with concordia. If someone checks into picton climbing to FL200 or 100 for example, we DO NOT have control to clear them higher
KILLALOE - Handling of arriving aircraft
In general, follow the steps provided in controlling arriving aircraft in the East High Specialty:
1. Issue ATIS and appropriate runway information to the aircraft upon check-in.
2. Ensure the aircraft has the appropriate RNAV arrival (where applicable).
3. Achieve spacing appropriate to the active runway.
4. Issue descent to the aircraft down to FL240 (FL280 to VV)
5. Provided the aircraft is clean with other traffic, initiate an automated hand-off at the appropriate hand-off point.
6. Ensure all relevant information has been shared to the next sector (assigned speeds, runway requests, etc.)
7. Issue communication instructions to the aircraft after the hand-off is accepted by the next sector.
KILLALLOE ARRIVAL HANDOFF POINTS
we also hand off CYYZ arrivals directly to SI near bobsu
