If the PPS or data tag for a particular aircraft is not displayed as expected:
* Instruct the pilot to reset the transponder, stating the currently assigned code.
* If resetting the transponder does not resolve the problem, assign a different code.
If an aircraft’s transponder appears to be unserviceable or malfunctioning, inform the pilot and, if appropriate, the adjacent sector or unit. If an aircraft’s transponder is set to standby or turned off, inform the adjacent sector or unit.

Q

Discrete and Non-Discrete Codes

A

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > SSRs and Aircraft Codes > Code Assignment

Assign an aircraft a discrete code in preference to a non-discrete code.[5]
You may assign a non‑discrete code to either of the following:
* An aircraft that has canceled or closed its IFR flight plan and is not requesting further ATS surveillance service
* A VFR aircraft for which ATS surveillance service is being terminated
5 Due to system limitations regarding the number of codes, minimize discrete code assignment changes.
Gliders use 1202
VFR 12500 ft and below use 1200
VFR above 12500 ft use 1400
IFR High Level uses 2000
IFR Low Level uses 1000

“Normally, transmit ATC messages via one of the following communication systems:”

A

MATS ACC > Appendix: Communication > Communication Fundamentals > Communication Systems

Normally, transmit ATC messages via one of the following communication systems:
* ATC Interphone: for IFR and CVFR movement and control messages (This may be accomplished electronically)
* Air-Ground: for messages to aircraft concerning control and safety of flight
If primary communication systems are congested or not available, use an alternate communication system:
* Transmit IFR and CVFR movement and control messages using the quickest method, which may include placing or accepting long distance telephone calls.
* SATVOICE is approved for routine communications; however, preference should be given to primary VHF, HF, and CPDLC communication methods.
* You may transmit VFR and DVFR movement messages that require immediate action via ATC interphone.
* You may arrange to have ATC messages accommodated on meteorological circuits provided you coordinate with the local meteorological office.

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Enroute Operations > Altitude > Altitude Instructions > Altitude Reports

If required, instruct a pilot to report:
* Leaving an altitude.
* Passing an altitude during climb or descent.

* The altitude readout indicates that the aircraft has deviated by 300 feet or more from its assigned altitude.
* The altitude readout indicates that the aircraft has deviated by 200 feet from its assigned altitude and the VMI indicates that the aircraft is continuing its climb or descent away from the assigned altitude.

When an aircraft has deviated from assigned airspace, if necessary, assist it in returning to the assigned airspace.

30
Q

* Provide traffic information.

32
Q

Altitude Priorities

A

MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Control Service > Flight Priority > Assigning Altitudes

Give priority to an aircraft carrying a sick or seriously injured person, whose condition requires priority.

When two or more aircraft are at the same altitude, give priority to the leading aircraft.
You may adjust the altitude assignment for either of the following reasons:
* To accommodate the maximum number of aircraft at their requested altitudes
* To comply with ATFM requirements

33
Q

Clearances and Instructions

A

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions

An ATC clearance or instruction constitutes authority for an aircraft to proceed only as far as known air traffic is concerned and is based solely on the need to safely separate and expedite air traffic.[1]
1 Pilots are required to comply with ATC clearances that they accept, and with ATC instructions that they acknowledge, subject to a pilot’s final responsibility for safety of the aircraft.

34
Q

IFR Clearance Format

MATS ACC > Traffic Management > Clearances and Instructions > IFR Clearance Format

Issue clearance items, as appropriate, in the following order:
1. Prefix/aircraft ID
2. Clearance limit
3. SID

8. Special instructions or information, may include an SSR code
9. Traffic information

35
Q

38
Q

“If the type of separation or the minimum used to separate aircraft cannot be maintained…”

A

MATS ACC > Separation > Separation Basics

If the type of separation or the minimum used to separate aircraft cannot be maintained, take action to ensure that another type of separation exists, or another minimum is established, before the current separation becomes insufficient.

39
Q

When To Issue Speed Restrictions

A

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments

40
Q

Issuing Speed Reductions and Simultaneous Descents

A

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments > Issuing Speed Reductions and Simultaneous Descents

A simultaneous descent and speed reduction can be a difficult manoeuvre for some types of turbojet aircraft. It may be necessary for the pilot to level off temporarily and reduce speed prior to descending. Specifying which action is to be accomplished first removes any doubt the pilot may have concerning controller intent or priority.

41
Q

Terminating Speed Assignments

A

MATS ACC > ATS Surveillance > Speed Assignments > Terminating Speed Assignments

Except when the aircraft has been cleared for an approach, advise the aircraft to “resume normal speed” when a speed adjustment is no longer necessary.

42
Q

“Factors that could affect traffic sequence include:”

A

MATS ACC > Service Fundamentals > Control Service > Flight Priority

Provide air traffic services to aircraft on a “first come, first served” basis, and give priority as indicated in the following sections.
Exceptions to “first come, first served” are permitted when they increase overall efficiency and reduce the average delay.

Factors that could affect traffic sequence include:
* The type of approach intended
* The types of aircraft and their relative performance
* Any specified minimum departure interval between takeoffs
* The routes to be followed after takeoff
* Wake turbulence separation minima
* Aircraft subject to ATFM

43
Q

When to Vector an Aircraft

55
Q

When to Not Provide Flight Information Service

A

MATS ACC > Flight Information > Information Service

Provide flight information service to all known aircraft operating within a flight information region, unless any of the following apply:
* The aircraft operator provides flight information service [1] [2]
* An operational factor such as workload[3] or equipment limitations[4] prevents you from providing the service.

Flight information service can be provided before departure or during any phase of flight, whether aircraft are operating within or outside controlled airspace.
You may use ATS surveillance equipment to provide flight information services within any airspace that is within ATS surveillance coverage provided you are satisfied that the displayed ATS surveillance information is adequate.
It is not necessary to inform a pilot of your reason for not providing or for discontinuing flight information service.

1 For example, alerting services responsibilities when an aircraft is operating on a company flight itinerary.
3In this context, workload means traffic volume, traffic complexity, radio frequency congestion, coordination, or other control-related duties. It does not include system limitations created by on-the-job training, staffing,
employee periods of relief, or other workplace constraints.

When relieving a controller from an operating position:
[4]
1. If the position is equipped with an electronic log-on system that records time preparing to accept responsibility for the control position, and time on duty in the position, log on according to unit directives. A trainee is expected to log on with the OJI and to log off when leaving the position.
2. Observe operational situations and equipment.
3. Listen to communications.
4. Observe current and pending traffic.
5. Verify the position transfer checklist.
6. Correlate information.
7. Inform the controller being relieved that the position has been reviewed and request a verbal briefing.
8. Exchange all pertinent data and ask questions, as appropriate, to ensure understanding.
9. After the verbal briefing, state, or otherwise indicate clearly to the controller being relieved, that position responsibility has been transferred.

4 “Assuming responsibility for a position” includes a position being combined or a position being split.
