Question

Control Responsibility - Unless

Answer 1

Assume control only if in your airspace jurisdiction unless specified in: - an agreement - an arrangement - Unit directive

Answer 2

(ACID) YOUR CONTROL [Now/at (time/location)/Over(fix)][conditions][info about next arrival]

Answer 3

Loss of RVSM certification due to an equipment failure in flight Status of Non-RVSM aircraft authorized to operant in RVSM Airspace

Answer 4

Do NOT clear non-RVSM aircraft to enter RVSM airspace unless the aircraft is any of the following: - A state aircraft - on an initial delivery flight - An aircraft that was formally RVSM, certified but has experienced equip failure is being flown to a maintenance facility for repair/re-certification - A mercy or humanitarian flight - A photographic Survey aircraft - Conducting a flight check of Navaid - Conducting a Monitoring / Certification of development of flight

Answer 5

If a pilot requests a flight change: - Approve the change and include the exact nature of the change in clearance - If unable to approve the change, provide the following: - the Reason for non-approval - If appropriate, a suggested an alternative

Answer 6

If Altitude is not appropriate inform pilot: - In controlled Airspace - For direction of flight would you prefer [ALT] or [ALT] - Uncontrolled Airspace - For Direction of flight, you should be at an (odd/even) Altitude - VFR - For Direction of Flight, you should be at an (odd/even) Altitude + 500ft

Answer 7

You may assign an altitude inappropriate to direction of flight in the following situations: - No altitude separation minima can be applied - The altitude has been approved by affected units - The Aircraft will be cleared to appropriate altitude as soon as conditions permit - The airspace is structured for one way traffic flow

Answer 8

Instruct Pilots to make position reports Identify tracks as wrong way if: - Passing and Receiving Control Estimates - Giving and receiving handoffs - Coordinating with an adjacent sector/unit Post warning indicators by using the WW altitude alerting function, if possible Before transferring control, inform receiving controller of reason for Wrong Way

Answer 9

You may amend the route provided in a previous clearance by doing one of the following: - State the route amendment and, if applicable, that the rest of the route is unchanged - Issue the entire route

Answer 10

Identify and correct any errors made during delivery of a clearance or instruction if there is any possibility of misunderstanding cancel and restate the clearance in full

Answer 11

Use an ATS Surveillance control procedure in preference to a procedural control procedure unless you or the pilot gain an operational advantage

Answer 12

Planning: determine the appropriate separation minimum required Executing: implement the selected standard Monitoring: ensure the planned and executed separation is maintained

Answer 13

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

Answer 14

To ensure an expeditions flow of traffic, operate as closely to the prescribed minimum as circumstances permit. If exceptional circumstances call for extra caution, apply greater separation than the specified minimum

Answer 15

Base control decisions on ATC estimates and aircraft performance. Verify the estimate and aircraft performance using position reports over fixes, or as determined by radio aids, ATS surveillance, RNAV or visual means that accurately define the position of the aircraft

Answer 16

Use aircraft estimates to verify ATC Estimates, if a discrepancy exists between an aircraft and ATC estimates for the same point it could be affected by: 1. Check the accuracy of the ATC Estimate 2. If remains, request the pilot to check the AC estimate 3. If remains, take appropriate action to ensure that separation is not compromised

Answer 17

Separate Longitudinally by: - a minimum expressed in time or distance - so that the spacing between the estimated positions of the aircraft is never less than a prescribed minimum

Answer 18

Following Methods: 1. Clearing an Aircraft to depart at a specified Time 2. Clearing an aircraft to cross a specified fix at a specified time. 3. Clearing an aircraft to hold at a fix until a specified fix until a specified time. 4. Clearing an aircraft to reverse heading 5.on the basis of position reports, provided one of the following: - Both aircraft have reported over the same reporting point - The trailing aircraft has confirmed not yet reaching the reporting point used by the leading aircraft.

Answer 19

When applying time based longitudinal separation, separate RNPC-certified aircraft on same or crossing tracks by a minimum of 10 minutes

Answer 20

When applying distance based longitudinal separation, separate RNPC-certified aircraft on the same track or crossing tracks by a minimum of 30 miles and: - Maintain direct communication using VHF/UHF voice - Using RNAV or ATS surveillance from a common point, determine distance

Answer 21

You may Terminate Vectoring of an aircraft, provide any of the following apply to the aircraft: 1. It is cleared for an Apporach 2. it is cleared to hold 3. it is established on a cleared route without requiring navigation assistance Inform the pilot of : 1. Termination of vectoring, except when the aircraft has been cleared for an approach 2. position of the aircraft when vectoring is terminated, unless you know the pilot has the information

Answer 22

Vector an aircraft to intercept the finally approach course at an angle of 30 degrees or less and one of the following distances: - 2 miles or more from the point at which final descent will begin

Answer 23

When an aircraft has been vectored off its cleared route, clear the aircraft to the next waypoint or fix on its route of flight, or vector the aircraft back to a point on its original route.
