Pre OJT Questions Flashcards
Describe the Cambridge ATZ
2.5 nm and 2000ft radius centred on the centre of rwy 23/05
What runways are available at Cambridge and what are their dimensions?
Rwy 05/23 1964m x 45m, thr 05=36ft 23=47ft
05/23 Grass 900m x 35m, thr 36ft
Describe the visual circuits available at Cambridge. Include all runways, levels and directions
All circuits to the south of the runways, ie left hand off 23 and 23G and right hand off 05 and 05G Multi engine heights 1500ft QFE Single Engine 1000ft QFE
What are the noise abatement procedures for runways 23/05?
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.

Describe the preferred departure route for aircraft departing to the south and south west
Airway route- L6, L9, L10, L608, L620, M189 via ADNAM 23- Left turn on track ADNAM climbing altitude 3000ft ROCAS 05- Right turn on track ADNAM climbing altitude 3000ft ROCAS
Describe the preferred departure route for aircraft departing east or south-east
Airway route- L6, L9, L10, L608, L620, M189 via ADNAM 23- Left turn on track ADNAM climbing altitude 3000ft ROCAS 05- Right turn on track ADNAM climbing altitude 3000ft ROCAS
Describe the preferred departure route for aircraft departing West or North-West
Airways- N57, N601, T420 via EBOTO 23- Climb runway track to altitude 2000ft, then right turn on track EBOTO with step-climbs to altitude 6000ft ROCAS
05- Left turn on track EBOTO climb altitude 6000ft ROCAS
What shall Aerodrome Control Co-ordinate with Approach control?
1) Departing IFR flights
2) Any arriving aircraft which make their initial call on the tower frequency
MATs 2 additional;
3) Turbo-prop and Jet aircraft pre-note to APP/APS. Airborne time to be passed.
4) Provide an airborne time for aircraft given a dedicated squawk from APS
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.
What are the uses of the ATM at Cambridge?
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’
What is the name of the wind farm to the east?
Wadlow Farm.
When do we report possible turbulence or wind-shear?
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.
