Q

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

A

Runway 23
* Maximum take-off run available should normally be used for all a/c types other than light a/c
* Aircraft requesting a right turn-out shall maintain runway heading until at least 2000ft QNH, or until west of the city. Use standard phraseology as detailed below.

Runway 05
* Maximum take-off run available should normally be used for all a/c types other than light a/c
* Aircraft requesting a left-turn out shall do so avoiding the city of Cambridge. Standard phraseology is;
‘standard noise abatement, left/right turn approved’

Arrivals
VFR or IFR a/c making a visual approach shall follow a descent path not lower than that indicated by the PAPI’s
Direct joins to downwind, base-leg or cross-wind positions by fixed-wing a/c shall not normally be made below 1000ft QFE. In bad weather /low cloud conditions, ADI should normally desist from offering cross-wind joins to runway 23 and left base joins to runway 05.

Transit A/C
Should avoid overflying below 2000ft QNH within 3NM of Cambridge City, subject to weather condition, ANO restrictions and pilot qualifications.

Helicopters
Helicopters arriving, departing or operating within the circuit shall avoid over-flying the villages of Teversham and Cherry Hinton below 700ft QFE.

Q

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.

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.

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.

50
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.
