Radar Transition Flashcards
Radar strips are system generated and almost all have what?
CIDs (which is another way to identify an aircraft), Beacon codes (beacon codes will not appear on strips that do not have a transponder), ground speed
Most departure and destination airports will have what in front of them on the strip?
K – only airports with three letter identifiers can have K’s
VORTAC’s remain the same and 0M8 remains the same
What replaces pilot estimates and fix progression times?
Radar contact
In ZAE radar scenarios strips are only generally posted for what?
Non radar flights such as arrivals and departures for GWO VKS 0M8 and aircraft below radar coverage
What is a STAR?
A published procedure used at large airports to standardize routings and aid in sequencing arrivals to an airport
What is the furthest ATC will generally clear an aircraft direct to?
Any fix that is immediately prior to the STAR name or is closer
When is prior coordination needed on a departure to ZFW/ZHU?
When departure point is less than 5 minutes flying time
What must be done when an aircraft will cross the boundary in a climb or descent to ZFW or ZHU?
The transferring controller must initiate the hand off and then APREQ the climb/descent with the sector controlling the altitude the aircraft is assigned and affect a point out if required to the sector controlling the altitude through which the aircraft is transitioning
Can transponder codes be changed on initial contact without coordination with ZHU and ZFW?
Yes provided both facilities are operating under ERAM
What is done for an aircraft at or above FL240 that wants to land at an airport within 75 miles?
Transferring center shall initiate coordination for a lower altitude with the appropriate low sector for all aircraft at and above FL240 proposing to land at airports within 75 NM of the center boundary and ensure point outs are made
Inter and Intra facility AIT with ZFW and ZHU should be in accordance with?
7110.65
Coordination can be reduced to ___minutes when using automated systems with ZHU and ZFW.
5
How will ZHU send us aircraft landing VKS or JAN terminal area?
X center boundary at or below FL230 descending to 11000 or 7 for prop/turbo
How must ZAE send aircraft to ZHU landing AEX or ESF?
X center boundary at or below FL230 descending to 13000
How must ZAE send aircraft above 6,000ft and landing KHEZ or KMCB to ZHU?
X boundary at or below 12,000 descending to 6,000 unless
coordinated
How must GWO request releases?
Specifying the departure airport in the order they will depart
GWO must issues clearances utilizing what data?
- Data received from FDIO (A/c may be cleared as filedunless ZAE has issued alternate routing or FRC is in remarks
- Advise A/C to expect requested altitude 10 min after departure
- GWO must advise ZAE if the aircraft does not depart within 3 minutes
What must ZAE do when issuing a release time to GWO?
Shall assign an altitude to maintain and any alternate
instructions as necessary
