Q

Why ATS Surveillance over Procedure

A
  • Can see present position
  • Make more efficent use of Airspace
  • Based solely on Distance

Q

Not satisfied with Equipment

A
  • Inform Sup/delegated authority
  • Base actions on ATS Directives supplemented by Supervisor
  • If not avail, act on your assessment of the equipment

Q

Allowed to provide Control with Aircraft on Approach

A
  • AC is Identified
  • in Controlled Airspace
  • Direct comms
    • Unless AC cleated for approach
    • or Transferred Communication to

Q

Not satisfied with Transponders

A
  • Instruct Pilot to reset, stating old Squawk
    -If doesn’t work assign different code
  • If that doesnt work, deem unserviceable and inform pilot and next ATS Unit.

You may adjust ID if:
- position has only one function
- combine unit name and function
- position has more than one function
- may omit unit name but state function

19
Q

How do you know what Speed an AC is flying

A

Ask the pilot
- Say Speed or Say Mach

20
Q

Mental Math

A

6 miles a minute
x / 6 = x miles over 6 minutes

21
Q

Deviation/Tolerance from Mach

A

M 0.01

22
Q

Units of measurement in HLA

A

Mach Number

23
Q

Structures of Airspace

A

Lower Density air higher you go
- Slower climb
- Faster GS
- Faster Descent
- Redeuced window of Potential speeds

24
Q

Transition Speed

A

The speed at which pilots change from IAS to Mach while climbing or descending

25
Q

What speed is the AC travelling?

A

Ask the pilot

26
Q

Tolerance of IAS

A

10 knots

27
Q

Why do we Speed Assign

A

Required to achieve or maintain required spacing, or to minimize vectoring. Instruct pilot to adjust AC Speed

28
Q

Same Track

A

In the application of Separation, an expression used by ATC to indicated Identical Tracks or tracks that Converge/diverge at an angle of 1degree to 44 degrees inclusive

29
Q

Flight Priority FCFS (6)

A
  • Type of Approach
  • Type of AC and Performance
  • Any specific min departure interval between takeoffs
  • Routes to be followed after Takeoff
  • Wake Turbulence Separation
  • AC subject to ATFM
30
Q

Speed Assign below 10000ASlL and 20miles

A

10000 and above 250 IAS
<10000 ASL 210 IAS

31
Q

Non-ATS Surveillance Route

A

A route which an AC can determine its position, track and consequently its min IFR altitude without the benefit of ATS Surveillance Information

32
Q

Prominent Obstruction (1+4)

A

5 NM if Obstruction is on CSiT or Nards

3NM iff:
- Terminal Control Service
- Source includes RSE, MLAT/WAM, DND-NG
- Range Max 120 NM Left to Right
- Enclosed in Circular Buffer Zone

33
Q

3 Things to Let Pilot know on Vector

A
  • Purpose of Vector
  • Point of where Vector to be done
  • AC’s SID/STAR is cancelled if applicable
34
Q

Terminating Vector Phrase

A

RESUME-OWN-NAVIGATION
PROCEED DIRECT

Must clear AC back on their routes to cancel a vector

35
Q

Intercept Approach/Airway Max Angle

A

30 Degrees or Less

36
Q

Vectoring Methods

A

The heading to be flown
The direction of the Turn
The Direction of Turn in # of Degrees

37
Q

Situations you MUST inform pilots of their Position (4)

A
  • ID established using ID Turn
  • Vectoring Terminated, unless you know they know
  • Pilot Request
    -Deemed Nessecary
38
Q

Vectoring Surveillance Coverage

A

Must ensure a procedure is complete and AC established back on Cleared route BEFORE it leaves ATS Surveillance Coverage

39
Q

Tools to Initiate Turn

A

PTL RBL PIV To show a Turn has been initiated

40
Q

6 Situations you MUST Pass Traffic

A
  • Cleared AC To Maintain 1000ft Over the top
  • Clear IFR to VFR
  • Multiple AC in Holding Pattern
  • Pilot Request
  • You deem Necessary
  • Acknowledges an Avoidance Instruction
41
Q

Track, Wind, Heading

A

History Trail is ALWAYS Track, Heading is Nose. Wind goes from Heading to Track

42
Q

Traffic Info - When to let Know Clear

A

If you are NOT maintaining ATS Surveillance Separation, and they inform you they don’t see the Traffic.

CLEAR PREVIOUS TRAFFIC

43
Q

Traffic Info - Format

A

Position/Distance
Direction
Type of Aircraft
Altitude of Aircraft (Relative or Actual)
Report point of Time
Other Information

44
Q

Surveillance Fundamentals - Priority

A

Give Priority to control service over traffic information, Provide others to fullest extent

Traffic information is not priority

45
Q

What is Traffic information Based on?

A
  • Observations on Identified/Unidentified Targets
  • Reports from pilots or Other ATS Surveillance
46
Q

Provide Traffic Unless

A
  • The AC operator provides information service
  • Workload(Pilot or ATC), Equipment Limitations,
  • Separated by more than the Prescribed Minimum
  • Established in Holding Pattern
  • Higher Priority
