Q

What are the noise abatement procedures for runways 23/05?

A

Departing/Transiting Except when taking off or landing must not fly below 2000ft QNH within 3nm of Cambridge City. Runway 05 Asphalt- 1) Max take-off run shall always be used by other than light a/c. Aircraft requiring a left turn out shall avoid turning over the city

2) A/C turning right and those in the circuit shall turn as soon as practicable (but not below 500ft or within the aerodrome boundary) unless otherwise directed.

Runway 23 Asphalt- 1) Max take off run to be used and A/C requiring a right turn out shall maintain runway heading until at least 2000ft QNH 2) Aircraft requiring a left turn out or in the circuit shall as soon as practicable turn unless below 500ft or within the aerodrome boundary, unless otherwise directed by ATC Arrivals Use of reverse thrust should be kept to a minimum Approaching Runway 05/23 without assistance from RADAR shall follow a descent path from at least 1000ft that is no lower than the normal approach path indicated by PAPI. Helicopters inbound should approach via the HVRP’s to N, E & S avoiding overflight of Cambridge City and surrounding villages, especially Cherry Hinton and Teversham below 700ft QFE Ground Runs of engines Ground runs and use of APU’s should be kept to the minimum time necessary, maintenance runs are to be conducted in accordance with the Aerodrome Manual.

Phraseology is ‘standard noise abatement, left/right turn approved’

Q

What shall Aerodrome Control Co-ordinate with Approach control?

A

1) Departing IFR flights

2) Any arriving aircraft which make their initial call on the tower frequency

5) Provide airborne times to APS for departures when VFR restrictions are in force.

ADI shall also advise APS/APP when;

-any VFR aircraft departing via the Cambridge overhead above 2000ft QNH

-when 1600ft or higher visual circuit is active, and;

  • Co-ordination is required to enter the ILS critical areas when APP/APS have advised ADI of an inbound IFR aircraft for an ILS runway 23.

Q

What are the uses of the ATM at Cambridge?

A

ATM may be used to;

1) determine the landing order, spacing and distance from touchdown of arriving aircraft;

(2) assist in applying longitudinal separation for departing aircraft;

(3) enable the controller to confirm that the initial track of a departing aircraft conforms with the clearance issued;

(4) provide information to aircraft on the position of other aircraft in the circuit or carrying out an instrument approach.

Cambridge does not have approval for advanced uses of the ATM so traffic displayed on it must be considered un-validated, un-verified and traffic information passed from the ATM must be phrased as ‘believed to be’ and ‘approximately’

Q

When do we report possible turbulence or wind-shear?

A

When we receive a report from a pilot that he has encountered either. Reports shall be passed to aircraft until it can be confirmed that the wind-shear or turbulence no longer exists.

A

129.550

28
Q

What are the conditions for a multiple line-up?

A

1)it is during daylight hours;

2)all aircraft are continuously visible to the aerodrome controller;

3)all aircraft are on the same RTF frequency;

4)pilots are advised of the number of aircraft ahead in the departure sequence, and the position/runway from which these aircraft will depart;

5)the physical characteristics of the runway do not render preceding aircraft in the departure sequence invisible to succeeding aircraft on the same runway.

29
Q

What are the conditions for a land after?

A

1) the runway is long enough to allow safe separation between the two aircraft and there is no evidence to indicate that braking may be adversely affected;

(2) it is during daylight hours;

(3) the preceding landing aircraft is not required to backtrack in order to vacate the runway;

(4) the controller is satisfied that the landing aircraft will be able to see the preceding aircraft which has landed, clearly and continuously, until it has vacated the runway; and

(5) the pilot of the following aircraft is warned. Responsibility for ensuring adequate separation rests with the pilot of the following aircraft.

30
Q

What is the phraseology for cancelling the take-off of an aircraft not rolling?

A

“C/S, hold position, cancel take-off, I say again cancel take-off, acknowledge”

Q

Describe the procedure for VFR restricted for the ADI controller

A

When informed by APP/APS that VFR is restricted the ADI controller is to place a blocking strip above the Runway bay.

-ADI controller will ascertain all departure routes and requested levels of VFR departures -All VFR departures will be restricted to climb not above altitude 2,000ft using the phraseology- “climb not above altitude 2000’, approach/radar have traffic to affect” -Inform APP that the restriction has been applied to each departure by annotating the level and direction on the FPS strip before handing it to

APP. -Pass the airborne time of the dep. with the level restriction to APS.

54
Q

What does APS/APP co-ordinate with ADI controller?

A

1) aircraft approaching to land; if necessary requesting landing clearance;

2) arriving aircraft which are to be cleared to visual holding points;

3) aircraft routing through the traffic circuit

In addition in MATS 2 also;

1) When an IFR aircraft is Active

2) When it passes an IAF for a procedural approach OR passes 15nm from touchdown for a self positioned approach

3) When the aircraft is either localiser established, base-turn complete or FAT established for a procedural approach

4) APP shall also inform ADI of the intentions of aircraft before transferring control

5) Where transfer of control is not transferred ADI and APP will co-ordinate closely

6) All IFR aircraft requiring a visual approach shall be co-ordinated with ADI on an individual basis for joining instructions. APP shall also inform ADI of the landing order when working more than one IFR aircraft and the anticipated delay to a departing IFR aircraft along with the reason for the delay. And; any over-flight traffic at or below 2,500ft QNH within 3nm and co-ordinate traffic through the ATZ at or below 2000ft altitude.
