Q

Explain verification of Mode C

A
  • 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”

Q

When can a controller reduce to minimum vertical separation?

A

-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

A
  • IFR in A-D and VFR in B-C - 5000’
  • Unverified Mode C in A-D - 5000’, no merge

Q

What are the methods of coordination?

A
  • Tactical - Individual AC basis, verbal or silent

- Standing - Implemented automatically, permanent basis, no comms required, detailed in LOAs

17
Q

What is the verbal procedure for requesting coordination?

A
  • Identify self
  • “Request coordination”
  • Refer to own and other AC in order depending on the situation
  • Propose a COA, request agreement, obtain clear decision
  • Both parties explicitly state action required of their AC to achieve agreed COA
  • “Roger” is not acceptable response
18
Q

What details are to be read back during coordination?

A
  • Levels
  • Headings
  • RWY in use
  • Frequencies
  • Release and contact points
  • Speed restrictions
  • AWYs/Route instructions
  • SSR codes
  • Pressure settings
19
Q

List types of data that can be coordinated

A
  • FPL data
  • ATC clearances
  • Revisions
20
Q

How can coordination data be exchanged?

A
  • FDPS
  • Telecomms
  • Intercom
  • Direct verbal arrangement
  • Datalink
  • Electronic Data Display Units
21
Q

What are the contents of a conditional clearance?

A
  • Callsign of AC or vehicle
  • Condition
  • Identification of subject
  • The clearance
  • Reiteration of condition
22
Q

A
  • All flts in A-D

- IFR in Class E

23
Q

What is the PS deconfliction minima in Class G?

A
  • 1000’, or as stated in CAP 493
24
Q

What is the DS deconfliction minima in Class G?

A
  • Uncoordinated traffic - 5NM and 3000’.
    No merge unless Mode C verified

25
Q

Within what range of an AC under TS is traffic deemed relevant and by what distance should TI have been passed?

A
  • 3NM and 3000’

- TI passed by 5NM

26
Q

Under what conditions may multiple line up clearances to different AC be used?

A
  • Daylight only
  • All AC are visible to ADC
  • All AC are on the same frequency
  • Pilots are advised on number ahead and position
  • Intermediate holding points shall be included in clearances
27

  • Preceding AC not required to backtrack
  • Controller satisfied that landing AC will be able to see preceding AC
  • Pilot of the following AC is informed
