Progress Test 9 Flashcards
Air Traffic Services (31 cards)
What are the five types of Air Traffic Service?
- Air Traffic Control Services
- Air Traffic Advisory Services
- Flight Information Services:
-Inside controlled airspace
-outside controlled airspace - Lower Airspace Radar Service (LARS)
- Alerting Service
Can an Air Traffic Control service be provided without radar assistance?
Yes, it can be provided with or without radar assistance.
An Air Traffic Control Service can be used to prevent collision between aircraft in flight, do they assist or prevent ground collisions between aircraft?
An ATC can assist in preventing ground collisions between aircraft.
What else can ATC assist in on the ground?
Preventing ground collisions between aircraft and other airfield obstructions.
True or False? An air traffic control service can be used for expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of air traffic.
True.
An Air Traffic Advisory Service is only applicable to advisory airspace, what class airspace is this?
This is Class F airspace, this airspace is not provided in the UK.
True or False? An Air Traffic Advisory Service can only be used with radar assistance.
False. This can be used with or without radar assistance.
An Air Traffic Advisory Service provide separation between aircraft operating on an IFR flight plan. Is this airspace controlled or uncontrolled?
Uncontrolled.
A Flight Information service provide information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight, name 3 examples.
- Other traffic
- Weather reports
- Airfield operating hours
Inside Controlled airspace, what types of FIS are there?
-Approach Control service
-Radar control service
What are the 4 Flight Information Service’s that can be given in the UK?
- Basic
- Traffic
- Deconfliction
4.Procedual
A service is a contract between the controller and the pilot, do all FIS provided require the controller to have a radar.
No, some services can be provided without the use of a radar.
What three FIS does the rest of the world offer?
- Flight Information Service
- Radar Information Service
- Radar advisory Service
A basic service offers a pilot maximum Autonomy, who’s responsibility is it to avoid other aircraft?
The pilots.
ATC/FISO will pass information in a basic service for the safe and efficient conduct of flight, what 5 pieces of information can be given?
- Weather
- Airfield conditions
- Traffic information about other aircraft receiving a basic service.
- Changes in serviceability of airfield or airfield facilities.
- General activity information within the area of the ATSU
True or False? With a basic service, the pilot is not able to change heading and level and must request if wanting to do so.
False. The pilot is able to change heading and level autonomously. However, it is good practice for the controller to know.
Does a basic service require a radar?
No.
A traffic service includes a basic service, what does this also provide the pilot?
Provides the pilot with surveillance information on conflicting traffic.
Does the ATSU provide collision advice with a traffic service?
No.
Collision avoidance is the pilots responsibility with a traffic service, can the ATC issue headings and levels to fly for positioning and sequencing?
Yes.
Are pilots required to request heading and level change with a traffic service, and is a radar required by the controller for this service?
Yes pilots are required to request heading and level changes.
Yes a radar is required for this service.
True or False? A deconfliction service is available for VFR flights.
False. This service is only available for aircraft under IFR.
The deconfliction service include traffic service facilities, can a controller issue deconfliction advise?
Yes.
For positioning, sequencing and deconfliction ATC will issue headings and levels to fly. Who’s responsibility is it for collision avoidance?
It is ultimately the pilots responsibility for collision responsibility.
