Q

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Enroute Operations > Altitude > Minimum Altitudes
++++++++++++++++++++++
If a pilot requests it, you may approve an altitude that is below the MEA, but is at or above the MOCA, for any of the following reasons:

A
  • Flight safety
  • Flight check of a NAVAID
  • A MEDEVAC flight
  • GNSS navigation

GNSS provides adequate navigation accuracy along the entire route segment.

Q

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions > Issuing and Relaying > Delivery Limitations

The communication agency, such as the FSS, FIC, CARS, dispatcher (in emergencies), or others to which a clearance is issued is responsible for transmitting the clearance to the aircraft immediately upon receipt, unless an attempt-delivery time has been specified.

If a communication agency informs you that a clearance has not been delivered, instruct the agency to do one of the following depending on your situation:

A
  • Continue attempting to deliver, and report if undelivered by a specified time.
  • Attempt to deliver at a specified time.
  • Cancel the clearance.

You will be notified if the clearance is not delivered within 3 minutes after receipt, or the specified attempt‑delivery time.

Terminav RSC/CRFI NOTAM
A NOTAM disseminated to alert pilots to natural winter surface contaminants such as snow, slush, and ice conditions that could affect aircraft braking and other operational performance. Such NOTAMs are considered special series NOTAMs that, because of their short life and significant volume during the winter season, require non-standard handling. COMMENT: Note 1: This term is derived from the words "Runway Surface Condition/Canadian Runway Friction Index NOTAM." Note 2: This NOTAM may also be issued by a military ATC unit as an RSC/JBI NOTAM.
40
Terminav Runway surface condition report (RSC report)
Section of the Aircraft Movement Surface Condition Report (AMSCR) which provides runway surface information using a verbal description of the runway condition.

45
RSC and CRFI reports are valid for...
... 8 or 24 hours depending on the reporting method and classification of aerodrome
46
Because of mechanical and operational limitations, runway friction readings produced by decelerometer devices may result in inaccurate readings under certain surface conditions. As a result, runway friction readings will not be taken and a CRFI will not be provided to ATS or pilots when any of the following conditions are present:
* The runway surface is simply wet with no other type of contamination present; * There is a layer of slush on the runway surface with no other type of contamination present; or * There is loose snow on the runway surface exceeding 2.5 cm (1 inch) in depth.
47
MATS ACC > Flight Information > Aerodrome Information > RSC and CRFI > Contaminated Runway A runway is contaminated when a significant portion of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not) within the length and width being used is covered by one or more of the following substances:

* The other controller has confirmed the aircraft’s altitude. * On handoff, the transferring controller does not inform you that an aircraft’s altitude readout is invalid or not validated. Do not use altitude readouts when the site altimeter setting for the geographic region concerned is below 26.00 or above 33.00.

MATS ACC > Flight Plans and Itineraries > Closing Flight Plans and Flight Itineraries > IFR Flight Plan or Flight Itinerary When the pilot of an IFR aircraft closes the IFR flight plan:
* If VFR flight is not permitted due to airspace classification or weather conditions: ◦ Inform the pilot. ◦ If appropriate, pass the most recent weather sequence. ◦ Ask the pilot’s intentions. * Acknowledge the closure and inform the pilot that alerting service is terminated. * Inform the appropriate ACC or the agency responsible for alerting service at the destination.
53

* If VFR flight is not permitted due to airspace classification or weather conditions: ◦ Inform the pilot. ◦ If appropriate, pass the most recent weather sequence. ◦ Ask intentions. * Acknowledge the cancellation. - A pilot’s decision to cancel an IFR flight plan or itinerary, or change to a VFR flight plan or itinerary, is not subject to ATC approval * Ask whether the pilot is closing the IFR flight plan or itinerary, and respond as indicated below.
54
MATS TWR > Marginal Visibility > Below VFR Minima > Authorizing a Pilot’s Request for SVFR Authorize SVFR within the control zone, provided:
* The pilot requests SVFR. * The ground visibility is at or above the minimum for SVFR. You may use the tower observation of prevailing visibility where ground visibility is either not reported or the visibility reported by the AWOS is non-representative of the prevailing visibility at the airport. * You obtain approval from the appropriate ACC. * You make an adequate arrangement for recall. * You keep SVFR aircraft clear of the flight paths of IFR aircraft. * You authorize only the number of aircraft that you can control safely and efficiently. If all aircraft remain in sight of the tower at all times, you may authorize more than one SVFR aircraft in a circuit. * If the pilot intends to depart or transit the zone at night, the SVFR aircraft is a helicopter.
55
MATS ACC > Marginal Visibility > Below VFR Minima > Authorizing SVFR without an Airport Controller Authorize a pilot’s request for SVFR provided all of the following conditions are met:
* The reported ground visibility meets or exceeds SVFR minima. * Current or anticipated IFR traffic permits the operation. * At night, unless the aircraft is a helicopter, the pilot intends to land in the control zone. In a control zone with no airport controller on duty, do one of the following: * Authorize one or more pilots for SVFR. * Authorize SVFR for a specified period. * Refuse authorization and inform the FIC, FSS, MFAU, or the pilot of the reason
