Block 1 Mats

Question 1

Separation Basics

Answer 1

Separate AC according to the following Fundamentals
Safe, Orderly, Efficient

Planning, Executing, Monitoring

Question 2

Vectoring - 4 Reasons to

Answer 2

Noise Abatement, Necessary for Separation, Operational Advantage,
Pilot Request

Question 3

Amending Clearances

Answer 3

The last clearance issued takes precedence over, and cancels any related item of a previous clearance

Question 4

Functional Goal #1

Answer 4

Follow Rules and Guidelines, professionally communicate and being attentive.

Question 5

ATS Surveillance Service - Fundamental

Answer 5

Use Control procedure in preference to a procedural control unless you or the the pilot are given an operational advantage

Question 6

Similar Call Signs

Answer 6

Inform both pilots of the concern, change one of them using:
-Restate Airline telephony at the End
- Add Type to AC
- Instruct one to ID with Registration
- Use telephony and last 2 of ID

Question 7

Maintaining Altitude

Answer 7

Within 200 ft of the assigned altitude for 4 consecutive readouts

Question 8

Reached an Altitude

Answer 8

4 consecutive readouts of 200 ft from assigned altitude

Question 9

Simultaneous Descents and Speed Reductions

Answer 9

Reduce then Descend, Descend then reduce.
Note - Together can be difficult may need to level off.

Question 10

Same Strata

Answer 10

Within 2000 ft, (tech 4000ft) standard is 2000ft

Question 11

Navigation Assistance when?

Answer 11

unless specifically prohibited use ATS Surveillance to Provide navigation assistance if pilot requests

Question 12

Vectoring Termination

Answer 12

• Cleared for approach
• Cleared for Hold
• Established on Cleared Route without Nav Assistance

Question 13

Speed Assignments

Answer 13

If required to achieve or maintain separation, or minimize vectoring, instruct pilot to adjust speed

Question 14

Correcting a Clearance

Answer 14

If any possibility of misunderstanding; cancel and restate the clearance or instructions in full

Question 15

Separation from Prominent Obstruction

Answer 15

5 miles if the obstruction is indicated on CSiT or Nards

Question 16

Vacated an Altitude

Answer 16

Altitude readout changed by more than 300ft in the appropriate direction from the prevailed value

Question 17

Vectoring into Class G

Answer 17

You may Vector an AC into class G airspace if you inform the pilot and obtain the pilot’s approval

Question 18

Number Groups

Answer 18

• AC IDs
• AC Types
• Wind Speed
• Cloud Height
• Vertical Visibilty
• 12 Hour Clock
• Calendar Date
• Airway, Q/R route, RNAV

Question 19

Establishing Contact

Answer 19

Repeat all of ACID with intial contact

Repeat ACID, followed by your unit ID at the end.

Use ‘This is’ if confusion

GOLF - ALPHA - BRAVO - CHARLIE - THIS - IS - TORONTO - TOWER

Question 20

Passed an Altitude

Answer 20

Altitude readout has changed by 300ft or more in the appropriate direction

Question 21

SSR & AC Codes Code assignment

Answer 21

Assign an AC with discrete code in preference to non-discrete

VFR -> <=12500 ft = 1200, >12500 ft = 1400

Assign Discrete to
- AC that cancelled Flight plan or closed IFR
- VFR AC when ATS Surveillance Terminated

Question 22

Observed Deviations

Answer 22

Deviated from assigned FL or Holding

Altitude readout indicates that the AC has deviated by 300ft

The altitude readout indicates AC deviated by 200ft and VMI shows continuing Climb/Descend in appropriate direction

Question 23

3 Ways to Vector

Answer 23

Fly Heading
Turn Left/Right # of degrees
Turn Left/Right to Degree

Question 24

3 types of Altitude Reports

Answer 24

Leaving
Passing
Reaching
Keep 2000ft Clearance

Question 25

Vector Initiation

Answer 25

If you initate vectoring, inform the pilot of the purpose of vectors and/or the point to which the aircraft is being vectored.

Question 26

When you apply ATS Surveillance

Answer 26

The Aircraft is Identified
The Aircraft is in Controlled Airspace
DCPC
Satisfied with displayed information

Question 27

Transponders - SSR and AC Codes

Answer 27

If PPS or Data tag is not displayed as predicted
- instruct pilot to reset/restart Transponder
- state current code
- If reset doesn’t work assign new code
