Q

Define Positive Control

A

Controlling unit responsible for taking action, ordering necessary alterations to altitude, speed and heading in order to avoid collision and give warning of other known hazards affecting A/C.
Note: The UK is subject to the following reservation when applying NATO positive:
(a) UK - RN ATM personel will not provide NATO positive below 2000ft AMSL or sector safety altitude, whichever is greater.
(b) UK - The aircraft commander is ultimately responsible for collision avoidance including terrain, regardless of the type of service provided. Avoiding action instructions will be provided but are not mandatory.
(c) UK - When providing NATO positive to non-UK A/C, RN ATM personelare to remind aircrew that the service will not be provided below 2000ft AMSL or sector safety altitude (whichever is greater) and the aircrew remain responsible for collision avoidance and terrain clearance.

Q

4 pieces of information passed in an emergency

A
  1. A/C C/S
  2. Type of emergency (PAN / MAYDAY)
  3. Heading in degrees.
  4. Nature of emergency.
17
Q

State the conditions that must exist for a radar handover to take place and list the information that must be passed.

A

Conditions:
1. 3 way communications between controlling units and helo.
2. In areas of overlapping radar.
3. Clear of conflicting traffic and regulated air space.
4. Positive ID to be made by the receiving controller.

Information:
1. Number, type & C/S.
2. Position, height, Heading & Speed.
3. Type of control.
4. POB
5. Any other relevant information i.e. endurance / QNH.

18
Q

Define Advisory Control

A

Controlling unit to provide adequate warnings of hazards affecting aircraft safety.
A/C commander is responsible for A/Cs navigation and collision avoidance.
Controlling unit may provide A/C advisory changes to altitude, speed & heading for positioning / controlled approach, however A/C commander remains responsible for A/C safety.

19
Q

Alcohol Consumption

A

Breath - 9 micro grams / 100ml
Blood - 20mg/100ml
Urine - 27mg/100ml

20
Q

Blood donation

A

Controllers should not control until 12 hours have elapsed after donating blood.

21
Q

Broadcast Control

A

A form of mission control used in the absence of full capability or if the tactical situation precludes close or loose control, in which tactical / target information is passed to enable the aircraft to accomplish the assigned task.
The controlling unit, when possible, provides adequate warnings of hazards, but the aircraft commander is responsible for aircraft navigation and collision avoidance. Two-way communications are not pre-requisite for this type of control.
BRd 768 NATMO 3201(1)A-13 of 20.

22
Q

Methods and brief description of identification methods

A
  1. RRB Data - “for identification chirp single, for further identification chirp code retain”.
  2. Turn method - Ascertain the A/C heading and make 2 alterations to original heading of no less than 30 degrees.
  3. Turn method using DF - Observe a turn of no less than 30 degrees together with relevant DF indications and a period of track observation.
  4. Position report method - by correlating a radar return with a position report that the aircraft is over an exact reporting point displayed on the radar map.
  5. Departing aircraft method - When the aircraft is steady on a given heading within 1nm of the ship.
23
Q

Separation Minima

Oil Platforms
A/C Carriers
A/C Carriers (NATO)
LPH
Non-Tac Ops
Tac Ops

A

Oil Platforms - 1.5nm / 2000ft
Aircraft Carriers - 5nm / 2500ft
A/C Carriers (NATO) - 10nm / 5000ft
LPH - 5nm / 2000ft (can reduce to 3nm when operationally necessary)
Non-Tac Ops - 2nm / 500ft
Tac Ops - 500 yards / 500ft

24
Q

Avoidance of land

A

At night, or in IMC, or when the visibility is less than 1nm, helicopters operating below the safety altitude are not to be controlled within 1nm of the coast.
This clearance is to be increased as necessary to allow for factors such as controller / observer proficiency, likely positional inaccuracy, or other factor.
Where there is a specific requirement to operate closer to the coast in these conditions, the clearance from the coast may be reduced to not less than 0.5nm, but only when authorised by the squadron / flight commander and where the captain of the aircraft is satisfied that it is safe to do so.
Note: Ships radar information on its own is not sufficiently accurate to meet the safety requirements.

25
Q

Reasons for mandatory overshoot.

A
  1. Pilot is not on sight at limiting vis.
  2. Loss of two-way coms.
  3. Loss of radio/radar.
  4. Ship not steady on flying course at the required range.
  5. Pilot not visual on a visual recovery.
26
Q

For each approach what distance should the ship be steady at?

A
  1. Visual Approach - 1/2nm by day, 1nm by night.
  2. SCA - 1nm
  3. ELVA - 3nm and 1/2nm for speed.
  4. Contact circuit - 2 mins to charlie time with redhead on.
27
Q

Conditions of emergency.

A

Distress (CW MAYDAY) - “Aircraft in serious and/or imminent danger and requiring immediate assistance.”

Urgency (CW PAN) - “A condition concerning the safety of an aircraft, other vehicle, or person on board or within sight, but which does not require immediate assistance, e.g. single engine failure”.
