Radar Separation 02 Flashcards
Radar May be used perform:
7 things
1) Vectoring
2) flight path monitoring of parallel ILS approach (prevent NTZ entry)
3) Vector Visual Approach
4) Vector to PAR/SRA
5) Flight path Monitoring
6) Conduct PAR/SRA
7) Separation between succeeding departures/ arriving aircraft
What is the horizontal separation minima based on Radar/ADS-B and or MLAT?
5nm or
-3nm when When Radar/ADS-B capabilities permit
When can lateral separation be reduced 2.5nm between succeeding aircraft in same Final approach within 10nm of the runway?
(8 things)
1) AVR rwy occupancy time not exceeding 50 seconds.
2) Braking action action reported good (No contaminants)
3) update rate if 5 seconds or less is used.
4) AD ATCO is able to observe the rwy and entry/exit taxiways.
5) Distance based Wake does not apply
6) A/C approach speeds carefully monitored
7) OP/Pilot made fully aware to exit runway expeditiously.
8) Published inAIP
What is Short Term Conflict Alert (STCA)?
STCA if Track/Separation predicted to be less within a short period (2 minutes)
What is MTCD?
Flight processing data tool
Up to 20 minutes ahead
“A what if tool”
What are the functions of MTCD?
1) Trajectory prediction
2) Conflict detection
3) Trajectory Update
4) Trajectory edition
MTCD issues resolutions by?
A) Ignoring conflict
B) Resolving/ modifying it
C) Deciding if it is tactical or manageable by the tactical
Controller
Describe the Tactical Controller Tool (TCT)
Looks ahead 5-8 minutes
Used as conflict resolution and clearance vertical tool.
Where does the TCT get its information from?
Surveillance and/of FPL data
How does STCA inform the controller of a potential collision?
Through a Visual and oral alert
Do staff require training for STCA?
Yes
Provide some examples of MTCD systems
IFACTS and MONA are examples
