Q

Class A Airspace

A

Class A airspace is designated where an operational need exists to exclude VFR aircraft.
All operations must be conducted under Instrument Flight Rules and are subject to ATC clearances and instructions.
ATC separation is provided to all aircraft. All aircraft operating in Class A airspace must be equipped with a transponder and automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment. Class A airspace will be designated from the base of all high-level controlled airspace, or from 700 ft. AGL, whichever is higher, up to and including FL600.

Q

Class F Airspace

A

Class F airspace is airspace of defined dimensions within which activities must be confined because of their nature, and within which limitations may be imposed upon aircraft operations that are not a part of those activities.

Class F airspace may be restricted airspace, advisory airspace, military operations areas, or danger areas and can be controlled airspace, uncontrolled airspace, or a combination of both. An advisory area, for example, may have the floor in uncontrolled airspace and the ceiling in controlled airspace. The significance, in this instance, is that the weather minima would be different in the controlled and uncontrolled portions.

Unless otherwise specified, the rules for the surrounding airspace apply in areas of Class F airspace, no matter if these areas are active or inactive. Class F airspace is designated in the DAH (TP 1820) and published on the appropriate aeronautical charts.

Q

Select altitude filters that include, as a minimum, the following limits:

A
  • The altitudes normally within the jurisdiction of your sector
  • The first usable altitude in any vertically adjoining airspace under the jurisdiction of another controller, plus 200 feet beyond that altitude
  • If the boundary between vertically adjoined sectors is in RVSM airspace, 2,000 feet plus 200 feet

To comply with MATS, Martin High controllers set the lower limit of the
altitude filter to 278

Low level sectors set their high filter at 312 since 290 is in RVSM airspace

Aircraft in “handoff” mode in NARDS break through the altitude filters

Q

ATSAMM

A

Air traffic services administration and management manual

ATSAMM defines agreements and arrangements

ATSAMM details when it is necessary to negotiate agreements and arrangements.
Managers must set up Arrangements with adjacent NAV CANADA units and Agreements with non-NAV CANADA units.

Q

what is the difference between an agreement and an arrangement?

A
  • Agreement: between NAV CANADA and an outside agency
  • Arrangement: between NAV CANADA and NAV CANADA

Two possible ways to remember this:
1. Agreement sounds like green and the grass is always greener on the other side.
2. Arrangement has an extra “n” for NAV CANADA.

Q

The GMFIR or unit manager is responsible to ensure accords are established when it is necessary to:

A
  • Set out responsibilities for the provision of air traffic services.
  • Delegate responsibility for airspace or define conditions for its use.
  • Detail coordination requirements.
  • Establish procedures for standard operating practices that supplement the basic requirements as published in MATS or other directives.
  • Define procedures for other operational reasons offering a benefit to NAV CANADA units or outside parties.

Q

Specialty Operations Manual (SOM)

A

This document contains procedures and operations applicable to the Martin Enroute specialty. This document is supplemental to ATC MATS.
Topics covered include spacing requirements, hand-off locations, transfer of control, and procedures with regard to traffic flow. Each of these will be covered alongside the appropriate sector.

usually there is one for each
specialty. Some units have a Unit Operations Manual (UOM) that pertains to all specialties.

17
Q

The unit manager is responsible to follow the Issue Unit Directives mandatory process to develop and issue direction and information required for the efficient administration and operation of the unit in one of the following ways:

A
  • Operations Directive
  • Staff memo
18
Q

What Information is in an Operations Directive?

Operations directives may supplement but not contradict MATS, and are used for information related to any of the following:

A
  • Provision of Air Traffics Services
  • Operation of aircraft, such as aircraft operating characteristics
  • amendment of current operations directives or unit documentation
  • annual reminders about seasonal operations such as snow removal, de-icing, forest firefighting, thunderstorms procedures, or runway maintenance
19
Q

Staff Memo

Describe

What information is in a staff memo?

A

Staff memos are used for information of a non-operational nature, such as employee relations, unit housekeeping, and administrative practices

20
Q

Operations Directive

A

It is an amendment to current SOM or UOM (unit operations manual). Controllers need to read them and sign, agreeing that they have done so; some amendments require a verbal briefing. They expire or are incorporated into Operations Manuals

21
Q

TC AIM RAC 2.8.6.4 > Restricted Airspace

A

A restricted area is airspace of defined dimensions above the land areas or territorial waters within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions. Restricted airspace is designated for safety purposes when the level or type of aerial activity, the surface activity, or the protection of a ground installation requires the application of restrictions within that airspace.

No person may conduct aerial activities within active Class F restricted airspace, unless permission has been obtained from the user agency.
In some instances, the user agency may delegate the appropriate controlling agency the authority to approve access. IFR flights will not be cleared through active restricted areas, unless the pilot states that
permission has been obtained.

The user agency is the civil or military agency or organization responsible for the activity for which the Class F airspace has been provided. It has the jurisdiction to authorize access to the airspace
when it is classified restricted. The user agency must be identified for Class F restricted airspace, and where possible, it should be identified for Class F advisory airspace.

22
Q

TC AIM RAC 2.8.6.2 > Danger Area

A

A danger area is Class F airspace that may be established over international waters but within Canada’s area of responsibility for providing ATS, as agreed to with ICAO. This is an airspace of defined
dimensions within which activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may exist at specified times. ATC clearances will not be issued for nonparticipating flights to enter a danger area. Aircraft should avoid flight in danger areas unless participating in the activity taking place therein.

23
Q

Danger and restricted areas may see the following types of activity:

A
  • High speed military exercises
  • Intercept operations
  • Naval activity
  • Live firing
  • Fisheries patrol
  • Drug patrol
24
Q

TC AIM RAC 2.8.6.3 > Advisory Airspace

A

Airspace may be classified as Class F advisory airspace if it is airspace within which an activity occurs that, for flight safety purposes, nonparticipating pilots should be aware of, such as training, parachuting, hang gliding, and military operations.

Although not specifically restricted from operating therein, all aircraft are encouraged to avoid flight in advisory airspace unless participating in the activity taking place. If necessary, pilots of non-participating
flights may enter advisory areas at their own discretion; however, extra vigilance is recommended. Pilots of participating aircraft, as well as pilots flying through the area, are equally responsible for collision
avoidance. ATC will normally ensure that IFR aircraft in controlled airspace remain clear of Class F advisory airspace. IFR aircraft shall be provided 500 ft vertical separation from an active Class F advisory airspace, unless wake turbulence minima are applicable, in which case 1 000 ft vertical separation shall be applied.

Pilots intending to fly in Class F advisory airspace are encouraged to monitor an appropriate frequency, to broadcast their intentions when entering and leaving the area, and to communicate, as necessary, with
other users to ensure flight safety in the airspace. In a Class F advisory uncontrolled airspace area, 126.7 MHz would be an appropriate frequency.
