Section 4-01 Traffic Flashcards
Define overflight
Any flight that qualifies for an 88, 88a, or 88b runway code
What do we say to an overflight calling us and in what order?
Auircraft ID, Unit ID, Altimeter , Clearance limit, Routing, Altitude (if restricted)
If we are clearing someone for their whole path through our zone, we say cleared through the march control zone
What is a common altitude to restrict voerflights to in MArch?
Not below 2500’/ This gives us a buffer with the circuit traffic and allows passes over the airport
Explain the uses of Codes 88, 88a, 88b, 70, 77, 60 and 66.
88- striaght through overflight
88a- come into the zone and stay for an extended period of time
88b- completiong of action above and leaving the zone.
70- water arrival or departure in the aerodrome boundary
77- water arrival or departure in the control zone but outside the aerodrom boundary
60- landing on a non runway suyrface in the aerodrome boundary
66- landing on a non runway surface outside of the aerodrome but in the TRA
If we have a code 66 in the zone how do we describe the wind and altimiter settings we are able to pass to them?
We say “At march airport”
What is the only airport in Canada that would use a code 70
Vancouver Harbour
Waht are the 4 times we would pass traffic?
Two arrivals converging outside the circuit
Aircraft overflying the control zone in conflict with arrivals or departures
Departing aircraft in conflict with an arrival or vice versa
Departing aircraft that can overtake another aircraft
What are the rules for passing traffic to an unidentified aircraft
POsition must be relative to a fix, since we don’t knoow where or who they are we can’t use the oclock system. When passing traffic ABOUT an unidentified aircraft the position report must be recent to be used
If targets of identified IFT/CVFR aircraft appear likely to merge with another observed target provide ATS surveillance traffic information unless one of the following apply:
Aircraft known to be separated by more than appropriate vertical minimum
The aircraft are established in a holding pattern
True or false: Since one plane having another in sight constitutes visual separation we do not need to pass traffic to the other plane even if it is potentially relevant?
False pass traffic to both planes if practicable.
How do we describe the altitude and type of an unidentified plane?
Type unknown, altitude unverified
True or false: We can use the words slow/fast to desbribe an unidentified plane in traffic passing?
True, if you believe the qualifier to be accurate
Name the 6 conditions for Surveillance separation to be valid
At least one aircraft is VFR
NARDS display range maximum is 60 miles
ATS surveillance type is not ADS-B
The PPS is size 2 or larger
Both aircraft are 60 miles or less away from the radar site
Altitudes are displayed for both aircraft or the aircraft are no more than 3000’ above the airport elevation
Define vector
A heading given by a controllor to provide navigational assistance (we can only give headings to identified aircraft)
Name the 4 conditions for issuing vectors
It is necessary for separation
It is required for noise abatement
You or the aircraft gain an operational advantage
The pilot requests it
