Lateral Separation Flashcards
FOR CKT1 EXAM
Can protected airspace touch?
Yes
Can protected airspace overlap?
No
Can holding patterns overlap?
No, if they do you must hold at different altitudes
Can holding patterns overlap protected airspace?
No
What determines the size of holding pattern protected airspace?
Altitude and or speed
The protected airspace of a holding pattern must not _____ of an airway.
Overlap the protected airspace
How is airspace along airways or routes protected?
- 4 miles either side (8total) of the centerline to 51 miles from NAVAID
- Diverging angle of 4.5 degrees from NAVAID to change over point (no max width)
Consider separation to exist between aircraft established on diverging radials of the same NAVAID when…?
There is at least 15 degrees divergence when either aircraft is clear of the airspace to be protected for the other aircraft
DME Divergence Distance Minima
If the divergence falls between two values which one should you use?
Use the greater distance
Does the DME Application Table compensate for DME slant range error?
Yes
What is the DME application table used for?
To determine the distance required for angles of divergence to clear protected airspace
When are aircraft established on radials on the same NAVAID that diverge by at least 15 degrees considered to be laterally separated?
Beyond protected airspace
