Primary Identification 02a

Question 1

Defin identification

Answer 1

The situation which exists when the position indication of a particular aircraft is seen on the situation display and is positively identified

Question 2

Define Radar map

Answer 2

Information superimposed on a situation display to provide ready identification of selected features

Question 3

Define video mapping

Answer 3

The electronic superimposing of a map or plan in a situation display

Question 4

List the 3 PSR identification methods

Answer 4

1) the turn method
2) Departing aircraft method
3) Position report method.

Question 5

The turn method ascertains the aircraft’s heading and observes the aircraft’s Track for a period of time. True or False?

Answer 5

True

Question 6

What are the 3 ways of doing a turn method?

Answer 6

1) Acknowledged execution of an instruction to alter heading by at least 30 degrees.
2) 1 or more changes of heading of 30 degrees instructed by another controller
3) 1 or more changes of heading of at least 30 degrees reported by the pilot.

Question 7

Does a turn identification constitute the provision of a surveillance service?

Answer 7

No.

Question 8

Before instructing an aircraft to turn what 5 things should you consider?

Answer 8

1) Terrain
2) PSR coverage
3) Other Surveillance returns
4) Rules of the Air
5) Proximity of CAS boundary

Question 9

Should caution be taken when using the turn method in areas where aircraft commonly make changes of headings for navigational purpose?

Answer 9

Yes

Question 10

What is the Departing Aircraft Method?

Answer 10

Identification is achieved by observing and correlating the position indication of a departing aircraft to a known airborne time

Question 11

Identification is ____\____\_________ within ______ of the end of the runway.

Unless authorised by the authority

Answer 11

To/be/authorised

1nm

Question 12

What 4 things should be considered when using the departing aircraft method?

Answer 12

1) Aircraft overflying the airfield
2) Aircraft making a missed approach
3) Aircraft departing from Adjacent Runways
4) Aircraft holding overhead the AD

Question 13

Define the position report method.

Answer 13

Correlating a particular Radar position indication with an aircraft reporting its position over, or as a bearing and distance from:

• Point shown on a situation display
• Ascertaining that track of a particular Radar position is consistent with the aircraft’s path or reported heading.

Question 14

Identification can be achieved by correlating a particular position indication with a report from the aircraft over one or two types of position or a Nav Fix such? (2 things)

Answer 14

• Exact reporting Point
• VRP or other geographical location.
• Reported Position must be within known PSR coverage*

Question 15

Exact reporting point:
A position established by a navigational facility, which is:
(3 things)

Answer 15

• Overhead a VOR/NDB
• Notified Fix defined by VOR radials or a VOR radial and NDB bearing
• A position defined by a VOR radial and a range from a colocated NDB

Question 16

The ATS authority may prescribe conditions for the application of these methods True or False?

Answer 16

True

E.G Level above navigational aid or a distance in which the method cannot be applied.

Question 17

A pilot should be advised whenever identification is lost.

Answer 17

True

Question 18

What 5 things should be (possibly done) if an aircraft is miss identified?

Answer 18

• Instruct the pilot to resume own navigation
• Climb aircraft to safe level as necessary
• Provide Vertical separation from A/C and pass traffic information
• Continue search for aircraft
• Cancel any descent clearance and advise pilot to climb back to original level.
