Q

(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment

Implement speed adjustments based off what principles?

A

> 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

Q

(5-7-(all)
Speed Adjustment

What techniques to do you use in speed control situations?

A

> 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

Methods (Speed Adjustments)

Instruct aircraft to:

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

17
Q

(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments

What is the phraseology for speed adjustments?

REDUCE SPEED TO (specified speed), or (#) KNOTS,

18
Q

(5-7-2)
Methods (Speed Adjustments

What is the phraseology to tell an aircraft that the speed restriction is no longer applicable?

A

RESME PUBLISHED SPEED

DELETE SPEED RESTRICTIONS

19
Q

(5-7-3)
Minima

When assigning airspeeds, use what recommended minimas?

A

> 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
20
Q

A

RESUME PUBLISHED SPEED
