Random 2 Flashcards
When no take-off time is specified, APP shall determine the take-off time. True or False?
True. This is to coordinate the departure with traffic released to it ensuring separation.
As a flight progresses, from one ATC Unit’s jurisdiction to the next, what should the Transferring Unit forward to Accepting Unit?
Necessary Flight plan and Control Information.
For FPL and Control Information to be effective it does not have to be transmitted in a timely manner. True or False?
False. Sufficient time allows for:
• reception and analysis of data by the receiving unit(s)
• Any necessary coordination between unit(s) concerned.
Appropriate FPL and Control Info shall be exchanged between Control positions in the same ATC Unit in respect of…
• aircraft to be transferred for control from one sector to another.
• aircraft of common interest to both sectors (aircraft close to the boundary of adjacent sector)
What are the contents of an ATC clearance?
a) aircraft identification;
b) clearance limit;
c) route of flight
d) level(s) of flight for the entire route or part thereof and changes of levels if required;
e) any necessary instructions or information on other matters such as SSR transponder operation, approach or departure manoeuvres, communications and the clearance expiry time.
What are the items found in the LOA and Local instructions?
a) Definition of Areas of responsibility and common interest. (Lateral and vertical limits)
b) Any delegation of responsibility for the provision of ATS.
c) Procedures for the exchange of FPL and Control data, including the use of automated and/or verbal coordination messages.
d) Means of communication
e) Requirements and procedures for approval requests
f) Significant points, levels or times for transfer of control
g) Significant points, levels or times for transfer of communication
h) Conditions applicable to the transfer and acceptance of control, such as specified altitude/ flight level, specific spermatozoon minima or spacing to be established at the time of transfer, and the use of automation.
What pertinent data shall APP apprise TWR of on relevant controlled traffic ?
• Estimated time and proposed level of arriving aircraft over the aerodrome at least 15 mins. before the estimated time.
• When requested, a statement that an aircraft has been instructed to contact TWR and that control shall be assumed by TWR.
• Any delay to departing traffic due to airspace congestion.
When boundary estimate data are to be transmitted for approval by the accepting unit, what should the time in respect of an aircraft not yet departed be based on?
The estimated time of departure as determined by the ATC unit in whose area of responsibility the departure aerodrome is located.
When is transfer of communication usually done?
5 minutes before common boundary.
The proximity of routes to adjacent FIR Boundaries will sometimes necessitate an ATC Unit providing to the ATC unit(s) in Adjacent jurisdiction:
• FPL and relevant info on flight and its progress.
• Route or portion of route referred to as ‘Area of Common Interest’.
• Proximity is dependent on separation minimum applicable.
• Both IFR and known VFR info to be passed.
