Lowest usable flight level to clear aircraft at or above 18,000 feet MSL for altimeter setting 29.92 or higher:

Back 7

180

Front 8

Lowest usable flight level to clear aircraft at or above 18,000 feet MSL for altimeter setting for 29.91 to 28.92:

Back 8

Identify the ___ of the altimeter report.

Back 10

source

Front 11

State if the altimeter report is more than ___.

Back 11

one hour old

"THE (facility name) ALTIMETER (setting) MORE THAN ONE HOUR OLD."

Front 12

Back 12

odd cardinal altitudes or flight levels at intervals of 2,000 feet.

Front 13

For aircraft operating at and below FL410, on course degrees magnetic 180 through 359, assign ___.

Back 13

even cardinal altitudes or flight levels at intervals of 2,000 feet

Front 14

For aircraft operating above FL 410 course degrees magnetic 0 through 179, assign ___.

Back 14

odd cardinal flight levels at intervals of 4,000 feet beginning with FL410

Front 15

For aircraft operating above FL 410 course degrees magnetic 180 through 359, assign ___.

Back 15

odd cardinal flight levels at intervals of 4,000 feet beginning with FL430

Front 16

With prior approval from the affected sector or facility concerned, you may assign an altitude regardless of direction of flight as follows:

Back 16

• Traffic conditions prevent the assignment of an appropriate altitude
• The aircraft is experiencing meteorological conditions
• A military aircraft is operating on a random route
• The pilot informs you the available appropriate altitude exceeds the aircraft's operational limitations

Front 17

Issue instructions to climb or descend, including restrictions if required, as follows:

Back 17

• Specify time restriction reference the UTC clock and issue a time check
• If you are in direct, two-way, VHF/UHF voice communication with the pilot and the aircraft is in radar contact, you may specify an elapsed time interval restriction, in full minute increments only, without any reference to the UTC clock

Front 18

When a roue or altitude in a previously issued clearance is amended, ___.

Back 18

restate all applicable restrictions

Front 19

Assign more than one altitude as follows:

Back 19

"MAINTAIN BLOCK (altitude) THROUGH (altitude)."

Front 20

When a pilot is unable to accept a clearance, ___.

Back 20

issue revised instruction to ensure positive control and standard separation

Front 21

A pilot is not allowed to deviate from an ATC clearance that has been obtained unless ___.

Back 21

an amended clearance is obtained (except when an emergency exists)

Front 22

A pilot is expected to advise the controller if a clearance cannot be accepted ___.

Back 22

when the clearance is issued

Front 23

Controllers are expected to issue ATC clearances which confirm with ___.

Back 23

normal aircraft operational capabilities and do not require "last minute" amendments to ensure standard separation

Front 24

"Expedite" is not to be used in lieu of ___.

Back 24

appropriate restrictions to ensure separation

Front 25

Inform aircraft when to:

Back 25

• Expect climb/descent clearance, or

• Request altitude change from another facility

"EXPECT HIGHER/LOWER IN (number of miles or minutes) MILES/MINUTES"

"REQUESTS ALTITUDE/FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE FROM (name of facility)."

Front 26

On initial contact, or when position reports are received, request a pilot to confirm his/her assigned altitude unless:

Back 26

• The pilot states the assigned altitude on initial contact
• You assign a new altitude to a climbing or descending aircraft

Front 27

Ask for altitude assignment verification in the following situations:

Back 27

In level flight situations

"VERIFY AT (altitude/flight level)"
