Study Notes
Radar Separation
- The required separation for an aircraft operating near the boundary of adjacent airspace 46 miles from the antenna, in which nonradar separation is being used, is 5 miles.
- The minimum lateral separation of a radar-controlled aircraft climbing through the altitude of an aircraft that has been tracked to the edge of a 20-mile scope is 5 miles from the edge of the scope.
Vectoring
- Vector aircraft only in airspace for which you have control jurisdiction, unless otherwise coordinated.
- When turning an aircraft from a heading of 360 to a heading of 060, the phraseology is "TURN 0-6-0 DEGREES".
- The maximum interception angle for a helicopter being vectored to intercept the final approach course, at least 2 miles outside the approach gate, is 30 degrees.
Departure and Arrival Procedures
- Before departure, assign the initial heading to be flown if a departing aircraft is to be vectored.
- Vector an aircraft conducting a precision approach (P-A-R) to intercept the final approach course at an altitude that will allow for descent IAW published procedure.
- The maximum authorized intercept angle for fixed-wing aircraft being vectored to the final approach course more than two miles from the approach gate is 30 degrees.
Minimum Vectoring Altitude
- Vector an aircraft conducting a surveillance approach to intercept the final approach course at an altitude that will allow for descent IAW published procedure.
Obstruction Clearance
- You may vector a departing IFR aircraft before it reaches the minimum IFR altitude, if the flight path is less than 3 miles from the obstruction and the aircraft is climbing to an altitude at least 1,000 feet above the obstruction, vector the aircraft to increase lateral separation from the obstruction until the 1½ mile minimum is achieved or until the aircraft reports leaving an altitude above the obstruction.
Altitudes and Decision Heights
- If recommended altitudes are requested, the altitudes which are at or above the published minimum decision height will be given for each mile on final.
Lost Communications Procedure
- If a pilot states that he cannot accept a lost communications procedure, the controller will take appropriate action.
Target Separation
- The correct application of target separation between a primary target and a beacon target is between the center of the primary target and the center of the beacon target.
- The minimum lateral separation required between a radar-controlled aircraft and a prominent obstruction that is depicted on the radar scope (less than 40 miles from the antenna) is 3 miles.
Communications Transfer
- When communications transfer is required over landing threshold, the pilot will be advised to change frequency immediately.
- The phraseology to issue advance glidepath notification is "APPROACHING GLIDEPATH".
Missed Approach Procedure
- The correct phraseology for a missed approach procedure is "EXECUTE MISSED APPROACH, AIRCRAFT ON RUNWAY".
