Front 11

when do you use the word immediatly?

Back 11

only when expeditious compliance is required to avoid a imminent situation

Front 12

when do you use the word EXPEDITE?

Back 12

to avoid the development of a imminent situation

Front 13

what is an occurance?

Back 13

any observed or suspected occurance that meets the definition of a MOR

Front 14

what are some examples of a MOR?

Back 14

loss of seperation

surfcace loss of seperation

terrain loss of seperation

Front 15

what is a EOR?

Back 15

an alert identified be an automated system

Front 16

what are the employee responsibilities?

Back 16

report all occurences

Front 17

what is a safety alert?

Back 17

issued when you are aware that an aircraft is in the position which in your judgement places it in a unsafe proximity

Front 18

what is a first priority of duty when an unsafe situation is recognized?

Back 18

issuing safety alerts

Front 19

what are the two types of safety alerts?

Back 19

terrain/obstruction- low altitude alert

aircraft conflict- conflict alert

Front 20

when do you immediatly issue a safety alert?

Back 20

when you are aware than an aircraft is at a unsafe alltitude

Front 21

what is the praseology of a traffic alert?

Back 21

traffic alert, cessna 3 4 juliet, twelve oclock, one mile advise you turn left immediatly

Front 22

what is a inflight equipment malfunction?

Back 22

partial or complete failure of equipment that may affect either safety or the ability of the flight to proceed under IFR

Front 23

what do you do when a inflight equipment malfunction is reported?

Back 23

determine nature and extent of handling required

provide maximum assistance

relay to other concerned facilities

Front 24

what is the first thing you do when a navaid malfunction is reported?

Back 24

request a report form a second aircraft

Front 25

what is a MARSA?

Back 25

a condition whereby the military services invlolved assume responsibility for seperation of aircraft involved

atc doesnt invoke or deny MARSA

Back 26

true

Front 27

what is atc sole action during MARSA

Back 27

provide seperation between MARSA And non participating aircraft

Front 28

what do you view formation flights as?

Back 28

a single aircraft

Front 29

what do you do before allowing an aircraft under your jurisdiction to enter another controllers airspace?

Back 29

make sure all coordination has been acomplished

Front 30

when do you transfer the control of an aircraft?

Back 30

at a prescribed coordination

after completing radar hand off

after eliminating and potential conflict

Front 31

when do you transfer radio communications?

Back 31

before aircraft enters the recieveing controllers airspace unless specified in a LOA

Front 32

when may you instruct a aircraft on the ground to monitor the recieving controllers frequency?

Back 32

when a operational advantage is gained

after coordination with that controller

Front 33

when do you avoid issuing frequency changes?

Back 33

during critical phases of flight

to single piloted, low level helicopters

Front 34

how do you transfer responsibilty?

Back 34

by using SOP practices

Front 35

what is the TCAS?

Back 35

an airborne collision avoidance system based on radar beacon symbols that operates independent of ground based equipments.

Front 36

what does TCAS I generate?

Back 36

traffic advisories only

Front 37

what does TCAS II generate?

Back 37

traffic advisories and resolution advisories

Front 38

what do you do when an aircraft under your power is responding to a TCAS RA?

Back 38

do not issue control instructions that are contrary to the RA

Front 39

do not assume that aircraft near a RA responding aircraft are envolved

Back 39

true

Front 40

when do you not issue traffic advisories to all aircraft on your frequency

Back 40

when in call a airspace

Front 41

what is the mission of the TMS?

Back 41

balance air traffic demand with system capacity to ensure maximum effeciency

Back 42

speed control

altitude
