10 Records, Coord, HOTO Flashcards
What are the principles for the conduct of coordination?
Conduct coordination:
a) on a point-to-point (Adjoining sectors) basis, whenever possible;
b) so that traffic coordination takes precedence over non-traffic coordination
requirements; (ensuring separation)
c) on intercom or liaison channels; and
d) on public telephone channels when c) is not available.
(c and d for recording purposes)
Define coordination.
The process of obtaining agreement on clearances, transfer of control, advice or information to be issued to aircraft, by means of information exchanged
If the estimate of an aircraft that has been coordinated subsequently changes by more than 2 minutes, what must you do?
Advise the receiving unit when a previously coordinated estimate has varied by morethan two minutes.
Once coordination has been completed what must happen if the aircraft subsequently requests a change of route or level?
When coordination has been conducted, including where standard transfer
agreements exist, conduct further coordination prior to amendment of coordinated items.
How close must a position reporting point or navaid be to the boundary to be considered to be at the boundary for the purpose of determining coordination?
Consider a position reporting point or positive radio fix located 10 NM or less from an ATC unit boundary to be at the boundary for the purposes of determining coordination requirements.
What must you do prior to handing off an aircraft subject to an emergency?
Perform voice coordination prior to the hand-off proposal being initiated, if an aircraft subject to an emergency will be transferred to another sector.
What does a heads up consist of?
a) an indication of the aircraft’s position;
b) the aircraft’s callsign;
c) the coordinated level if different to the CFL; and
d) the words ‘ON CLIMB’ or ‘ON DESCENT’ for aircraft not identified and not
maintaining the CFL at the time of the heads-up coordination.
In what form may the indicated position of the aircraft be given?
a) relative to the position of the aircraft expressed as a cardinal point (‘SOUTH
WEST, QANTAS ONE’);
b) the name of the position or waypoint on, or closest to, the boundary (‘VIA
APOMA, QANTAS ONE’);
c) a taxi and/or departure call (‘DEPARTURE YBNA, ABC’); and
d) when not identified and on climb to the CFL (‘SOUTH WEST, QANTAS ONE
ON CLIMB’).
What items of heads up coordination is the recipient required to read back?
When you receive heads-up coordination, read back the:
When you receive heads-up coordination, read back the:
a) aircraft’s callsign; and
b) CFL (Current Flight Level) or coordinated level when the standard assignable level specified in LIs (Local Instruction)
or LoA (Letters of Agreement) is not assigned.
Give an example of a heads up exchange between initiator and recipient
Initiator: eg. via APOMA QFA1
Recipient: QFA1 FL360.
For aircraft not identified and not maintaining the CFL at the time of the heads-up notification what phrases should be included depending on the aircraft’s altitude?
ON CLIMB or ON DESCENT
If an aircraft was on a no coordination route would you have to coordinate for an aircraft subject to an emergency?
Yes, emergency responses need to be conducted via voice on a recorded line (as always)
What must occur if an aircraft declares an emergency while the aircraft is in handover out state?
When an aircraft declares an emergency and responsibility for the aircraft is in the process of being transferred to another ATS position, provide initial response and assistance from the ATS position where the emergency was declared.
State 4 items that must be recorded in a Flight Data Record.
MATS
Where applicable, record the following information:
a) the STAR to be issued;
b) ACIDs of opposite direction aircraft, and a four-figure time of passing;
c) the time of entering or leaving lateral conflict with another aircraft or route;
d) pilot-requested levels;
e) level requirements;
f) restrictions from another unit;
g) sighting and passing annotations;
h) a reported cruising level subject to a further check;
i) in-flight weather conditions;
j) any requests from the aircraft that need to be passed on to the next sector, or
flow controller (e.g. PILS, VSA, DME Arrival etc);
k) step climb/descent annotation, including the ACIDs of the aircraft involved;
l) clearance limits;
m) traffic information;
n) latest divert times;
o) VFR-on-top annotation;
p) IFR pick-up annotation;
q) SIS annotation; and
r) any other data that is considered critical for effective traffic management.
NAPM
Record appropriate data directly into the FDR on issue or receipt. This data may
include, but is not limited to:
a) ATDs;
b) pilot position reports;
c) pilot estimates;
d) pilot reported altitudes and flight levels;
e) pilot reported speed;
f) coordinated estimates from adjacent units;
g) cleared flight levels;
h) route/amended route details;
i) new registration (REG) when advised of a change of aircraft;
j) changes in aircraft navigation capability or equipment;
k) FLTID if different to callsign; and
l) aircraft address.
What methods may be used for recording of Handover/Takeover for a position?
Record handover/takeovers for a position via voice, where the facility is available, or by journal entry.
