Normal Speed

(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment
Keep speed adjustments to the minimum necessary to achieve or maintain:
Required or desired spacing
(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment
Avoid adjustments requiring alternate:
Decreases and increases
(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment
When no longer needed:
Terminate speed adjustments
(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment
Implement speed adjustments based off what principles?
> priority of speed adjustment instructions determined by the relative speed and position of the aircraft involved and the spacing requirement
> speed adjustments are not achieved instantaneously. Aircraft configuration, altitudes, and speed determines the time and distance required to accomplish the adjustment
(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment
What techniques to do you use in speed control situations?
> compensate for compression when assigning air speed adjustment in an in-trail situation by using one of the following techniques
- reduce the trailing aircraft first - increase the leading aircraft first
> assign a specific airspeed if required to maintain spacing
allow increased time and distance to achieve speed adjustments in the following situations
-higher altitudes
-greater speed
-clean configurations
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustment
Compensate for compression when assigning air speed adjustment in an in-trail situation by using one of the following techniques
- reduce the trailing aircraft first
- increase the leading aircraft first
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustment
Allow increased time and distance to achieve speed adjustments in the following situations
- higher altitudes
- greater speed
- clean configurations
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustment
What do you give if required to maintain spacing?
Assign a specific airspeed
(5–7-1)
Speed Adjustments
Allow increased time and distance to achieve speed adjustments in what situations
> higher altitudes
greater speed
clean configurations
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustments
Do not assign speed adjustment to aircraft:
> at or above FL390
executing a published high altitude instrument approach procedure
in a holding pattern
inside the final approach fix on final or a point 5 miles from the runway, whichever is closer to the runway
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustments
At the time approach clearance is issued, what must be restated?
Previously issued speed adjustments
(5-7-1)
Speed Adjustments
If feasible, when issuing speed adjustments to aircraft cleared along a route or procedure that has published speed restrictions, what do you have to do?
Advise aircraft where to resume published speed
(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments)
Instruct aircraft to:
> maintain present/specific speed
maintain specified speed or greater/less
maintain the highest/lowest practical speed
increase or reduce to a specified speed or by a specified number of knots
(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments
What is the phraseology for speed adjustments?
REDUCE SPEED TO (specified speed), or (#) KNOTS,
(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments
What is the phraseology to tell an aircraft that the speed restriction is no longer applicable?
RESME PUBLISHED SPEED
DELETE SPEED RESTRICTIONS
(5-7-3)
Minima
When assigning airspeeds, use what recommended minimas?
> to arrival aircraft operating below 10,000’:
- turbojet aircraft: a speed not less than 210 knots; except when eh aircraft is within 20 flying miles of the runway threshold of the airport of intended lading, a speed not less than 170 knots - reciprocating engine and turboprop aircraft. A speed not les than 200 knots; except when the aircraft is within 20 flying miles of the runway threshold of the airport of intended landing, a speed not less than 150 knots
(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments
When assigning airspeeds, use what minima for departures?
> turbojet aircraft: a speed not less than 230 knots
reciprocating engine and turboprop aircraft. A speed not less than 150 knots
helicopters: a speed not less than 60 knots
(5-7-3)
Termination (speed restrictions)
When speed adjustments are no longer needed:
Advise the aircraft to “resume normal speed” when no published speed restrictions apply
(5-7-3)
Termination (speed restrictions)
What is the phraseology to cancel a speed restriction when there’s published speed?
RESUME PUBLISHED SPEED
(5-7-3)
Termination (speed restrictions)
When ATC assigned speed and published speed restrictions are no longer required, what is the correct phraseology?
DELETE SPEED RESTRICTIONS
