Purposes Of ATS & Classifications Of Airspace Flashcards
What does Air Navigation Service (ANS) encompass?
- Air Traffic Management (ATM)
- Coms, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS)
- Meteorology (met) day
- Search and Rescue (SAR)
- Aeronautical Information Service (AIS)
What are the 4 types of ATS?
Air Traffic Control Service
Air Traffic Advisory Service
Flight Information Service
Alerting Service
What 4 factors effect the type of Air Traffic Service?
Aircraft Type
Density
Meteorology
Other.
What are the 5 objectives of Air Traffic Services?
1) prevent collision between aircraft.
2) prevent collision between aircraft on the manoeuvring area and obstructions on that area.
3) expedite + maintain an orderly flow of air traffic
4) provide advice + Information useful for the safe + efficient conduct of flights.
5) Notify appropriate organisations of ac in need of SAR, and assist such organisations as required.
List the objectives of Air Traffic Control (ATC)
1) Prevent Collision between aircraft
2) Prevent Collision on the manoeuvring area between aircraft and obstructions
3) Expedite + Maintain Orderly flow of traffic.
When is an Air Traffic Control Service Provided?
All IFR flights in class A-E
All VFR flights in Class B/C/D
All SVFR Flights
All Aerodrome Traffic at Controlled Aerodromes
What does “Aerodrome Traffic” mean
Traffic on the manoeuvring area and all aircraft in the vicinity of the Aerodrome.
What does “controlled aerodrome” mean?
An Aerodrome where an AIr Traffic Control Service (ATCS) is provided.
What does ATAS stand for?
Air Traffic Advisory Service
What is the objective of an ATAS?
Ensure separation as far practical between aircraft operating IFR flight plans.
What is a Flight Information Region (FIR)?
Airspace of defined dimensions within which a FIS and Alerting Service is provides.
What is a flight information service (FIS)?
Supplies information and advice useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight.
What details are given in a Flight Information Service (FIS)?
- Weather
- Serviceabilities of Facilities
- Aerodrome conditions
- Other Information pertinent to safety.
Aircraft on an ATCS automatically get a FIS.
True or False?
True.
What is an alerting service?
Provided to notify the appropriate organisations regarding an aircraft in need of SAR and to assist such organisations as required.
Which class of airspace is Advisory Airspace?
Class F
List the classes of Controlled Airspace
A B C D E
What Airspace is Class G?
Other Airspace.
