Procrasturbation Flashcards
ATC Objectives (8)
Prevent aircraft - aircraft collisions
Prevent aircraft - obstruction collisions
EXPEDITE Orderly flow of traffic
Provide INFO useful to safe and efficient concurrent of flight
Notify organisations of a/c needing SAR (SEARCH AND RESCUE)
LIASE with agencies for safe and efficient op of a/c
Contribute to ABM
Provide BAC skills to exercise and combat environment
- AA AO EIL Rescue ABM from BAC
Types of Control SERVICE (3)
Aerodrome (Inside)
Approach (Coming)
Area - En Route (Outside)
Functions of Aerodrome Controller
- Control Runway: A/c, Cars and Pedestrians on runway
- Control around Runway: A/c landing, taking off and flying
- Provide approach control (when no other element exists)
ATIS (Automatic Transmitted Info Service) Information
COWWRA TTTV
Cloud Other essential info Wind Weather Runway info Approach info

Types of Airspace (regional and capital cities)
Class C - High Density / capital cities
Class D - Medium density and regional
Define control ZONE (CTR)
Controlled airspace extending upwards of from surface of the earth around an aerodrome
Define control AREA (CTA)
Controlled airspace extending upwards of a specified height above surface of the earth
CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency)
Frequency on which pilots make positional broadcasts (around aerodrome where use of radio is required)
126.7
Where is the carriage and use of radios mandatory?
Registered (REG), Certified (CERT) and Military (MIL) non-towered aerodromes
Define a PRD area:
Prohibited, restricted or danger zone.
Prohibited - a zone within which flight is prohibited
Restricted - Restricted within certain conditions
Danger - fly at own risk
Categories of RA
RA1: Can plan, can request
RA2: Can’t plan, may be offered
RA3: Can’t plan, won’t be offered
Criteria (ICAO) for a NOTAM
SPHF
Establishment, condition or change of:
Service
Procedure
Hazard
Facility
Three types of NOTAM
NOTAMN - New
NOTAMR - Review
NOTAMC - Cancel
Types of vertical separation
500ft -10,000ft
1000ft -up to and inc. FL290/RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) up to FL410
2000ft -All aircraft above FL410, when in known standing wave conditions, severe turbulence or when at least one aircraft is not RVSM approved
3000ft -When one or more aircraft is supersonic
For operations at/below 10,000ft what QNH is set?
Prior to top of climb, set local QNH of aerodrome en route within 100nm. If not available set area QNH.
For op above 10,000ft, when is QNE set?
Set 1013.2hPa at transition altitude (10,000ft)
What must a clearance contain?
Aircraft ID
DESTINATION, area of op, position or clearance limit
ROUTE of flight
Assigned LEVEL
May also contain:
Departure type (IFR)
SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar) code
Frequency requirements
List of Readbacks (12)
Airways CLEARANCE En Route HOLDING INSTRUCTIONS Any route or holding points - TAXI Clearance Any clearance or instruction in relation to RUNWAY (wait, hold short, cross, backtrack, land on, enter, take off from etc.) APPROACH clearance Assigned runway ALTIMETER settings RADIO and NAVAID frequency SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar) codes DATA-LINK logon codes LEVEL instructions DIRECTION - turn, heading, speed
Air Traffic Services (3)

Alerting
ATC
Separations from A/C
Class A - IFR all a/c. VFR n/a
Class C - IFR from all a/c, VFR from IFR, SVFR from SVFR
Class D - IFR from IFR, IFR from SVFR, SVFR from SVFR. VFR n/a
Class G - n/a
CA/GRS
Certified Air/Ground Radio Service
How does CA/GRS change pilot procedure?
Doesn’t change from standard on-towered aerodrome procedures
