Separation
Block 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is separation? | the spacing of aircraft to achieve safe and orderly movement in flight, and while landing or taking off. |
| Does vertical separation relay on radar or non-radar data? | Non-radar. It does not rely on radar data for its application. |
| RSVM | Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) aircraft are those equipped with the required vertical navigation avionics. |
| The basic minimum altitude vertical separation between IFR aircraft is: | 1,000 feet |
| Non-RVSM aircraft must maintain _____ feet vertical separation must be maintained with all other aircraft | 2,000 feet |
| Lateral Separation | the lateral spacing of aircraft at the same altitude by requiring operation on different routes or in different geographical locations. |
| Longitudinal Separation | the longitudinal spacing of aircraft at the same altitude by a minimum distance expressed in units of time or miles. |
| The standard minima for nonradar longitudinal separation is | 20 miles / 10 minutes |
| The minimum terminal radar separation required for two aircraft 30 NM from the antenna is _____. | 3 miles |
| The minimum en route radar separation required for two aircraft below FL 600 is _____. | 5 miles |
| Clear departing aircraft to fly specified headings that diverge by at least ______ . | 45 degrees |
| When either or both aircraft are 40 miles or more from the antenna, _____ of separation are required. | 5 miles |
| Clear departing aircraft to fly specified headings that diverge by at least ______ . | 45 degrees |
| When both aircraft are less than 40 miles from the antenna, _____ of separation is required. | 3 miles |
| What are some of the factors that should be considered during visual separation? | - Closure rate - Aircraft performance - Wake turbulence |
| Under which conditions can you clear an aircraft for a visual approach? | - The plt says the preceding AC in sight and is told to follow -The plt says the airport/rwy in sight but not the preceding AC, radar separation is maintained until visual separation is provided -The plt says the runway is in sight with no preceding AC |
| On the same runway, what conditions must exist for the preceding departing aircraft before allowing another aircraft to takeoff? | - The aircraft must cross the runway end - The aircraft must turn to avert a conflict |
| Which conditions must exist for preceding departing aircraft before a takeoff roll begins for another aircraft on nonintersecting runways? | Has departed and crossed the departure runway |
| In visual separation, communication must be obtained with _____ . | at least one of the aircrafts involced |
| Runway separation is applied by who? | tower controllers only |
| Distance between aircrafts: if a Category I aircraft is following another Category I or a Category II aircraft | 3,000 feet and airborne |
| Distance between aircrafts: If a Category II aircraft is following either a Category I or II | 4,500 feet and airborne |
| Distance between aircrafts: If either aircraft is a Category III | 6,000 feet and airborne |
| Holding is used for? | -Traffice en route -Weather at destination -arrival delays -spacing/flow control |
| What must a controller ensure when directing aircraft to hold over different fixes at the same altitude? | Holding pattern airspaces don’t overlap |
| Which of the following procedures are applied by ATC for a typical holding pattern with a standard pattern? | -Right turns -One-minute legs |
