Mod 3 - ATM & LAW Flashcards
What are the Procedural departure separation minimas based on time?
- < 1min - AC departing from different RWYS, dep routes diverging immediately by at least 45 degrees
- 1min - AC departing from same RWY, tracks diverging immediately by at least 45 degrees
- 2min - Preceding AC TAS 40kts faster or more, neither AC execute manoeuvre to decrease the 2min sep
- 5min - Preceding AC TAS 20kts faster or more
What are the Lateral (Track) separation standards based on VOR/DME(TAC)?
- Diverging AC - 20 degrees, 15NM at least
- Converging AC - 20 degrees, 30NM at least
- Inbound AC - 20 degrees, 30NM at least
- Outbound AC - 20 degrees, 20NM at least
What are the Lateral (Track) separation standards based on VOR?
Diverging AC only
- Both diverging by at least 20 degrees, 1 AC 15NM or 4min from the VOR
- Both passed VOR, established on radials diverging by at least 45 degrees
What are the Lateral (Track) separation standards based on NDB?
Diverging AC only
- Both diverging by at least 30 degrees, 1 AC 15NM or 4min from the NDB
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on distance for AC on same track and level?
- 25NM
- 20NM, within 100 miles of DME/TAC stn OR preceding AC 20kts or more faster
- 15NM, within 100 miles of DME/TAC AND preceding AC 20kts or more faster
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on distance for AC on same track climbing or descending?
- 15NM
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on distance for AC on reciprocal tracks?
- 40NM
- 10NM, AC have passed each other
- 5nm, AC have passed each other and both within 100 miles of DME/TAC
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on time for AC on same track and level?
- 10min
- 5min, 20kts or more faster
- 5min, CAA auth, radar monitored and never less than 30NM
- 3min, CAA auth, functioning transponders, radar monitored and never less than 20NM
- 2min, 40kts or more faster
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on time for AC on crossing tracks?
- 10min
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on time for AC on reciprocal tracks?
- 10min, unless confirmed that AC have passed
What are the Longitudinal separation standards based on time for AC on same track climbing or descending?
- 10min
- 5min, at time levels have crossed and within 10 min of 2nd AC being at the RP
What are the level occupancy tolerances for AC maintaining, vacating, crossing and reaching a level?
- Maintaining - within 200’
- Vacating - 400’ or more in anticipated direction
- Crossing - 400’ in required direction
- Reaching - Within 200’ and 3 radar updates
Explain verification of Mode C
- Verification on initial contact
- Tolerance within 200’ of stated level/altitude
- If outside of tolerance, pilot informed and new level information requested
- If discrepancy continues, pilot told “stop squawk charlie”
When can a controller reduce to minimum vertical separation?
-Provided both AC intentions are known due to controller controlling both AC or they have been coordinated or the AC are operating in accordance with established agreement
What vertical separation is to be taken against traffic with mode C information but whose intentions are unknown?
- IFR in A-D and VFR in B-C - 5000’
- Unverified Mode C in A-D - 5000’, no merge
- Class E - No merge unless pilot will avoid without ATC assistance
