Study Notes

Flight Planning and Air Traffic Control

  • Placing 'CDR-capable' in the flight plan indicates to the FAA that the aircraft is capable of receiving clearance delivery via radio.

Figure 10-2

  • Figure 10-2 includes the ILS RWY 31R ORIG approach plate.

ILS Approach

  • 'ILS RWY 31R ORIG' refers to the original ILS approach for Runway 31R.

DME Minima

  • 'DME MINIMA: S-LOC 31R MDA 1340 HAA 853 ALL CATS' indicates that the minimum descent altitude (MDA) for the S-LOC (Localizer) 31R approach is 1340 feet, with a height above airport (HAA) of 853 feet, applicable to all aircraft categories.

NOTAMs

  • NOTAMs issued by local flight service stations typically include information on local airspace, air traffic, and weather conditions.
  • FDC NOTAMs are issued by the FAA.

Air Traffic Control

  • The primary function of ZTL ARTCC is to provide air traffic control services for aircraft operating in the ZTL ARTCC airspace.

ICAO Flight Plan Format

  • Using the ICAO flight plan format when filing flight plans with RNAV departures and arrivals is significant because it provides a standardized format for international flights.

Airport Operations

  • The airport authority is responsible for ensuring that the arrival airport can handle flights when they are scheduled to arrive.
  • AAR stands for Airport Acceptance Rate, which is the maximum number of aircraft that can be safely handled by an airport per hour.
  • The FAA publishes the airport acceptance rates in the United States.
  • The Indianapolis International Airport can typically handle 60 aircraft per hour.
  • The lowest limit of arrivals per hour at Indianapolis is 30 aircraft per hour when only one runway is available during low IFR weather conditions.
  • The airport can handle 60 aircraft per hour if two runways are available and the weather is VFR.

Air Traffic Control Coordination

  • If the ATCSCC determines that too many aircraft are scheduled to arrive at an airport during a particular time period, it will issue a ground delay program to limit the number of aircraft arriving at the airport.
  • The purpose of ground delays for aircraft is to prevent overload of air traffic control resources and ensure safe and efficient airport operations.
