Final Approach Abnormalities
What are the Final Approach Abnormalities?
- - Safety limits are exceeded or radical target deviations are observed.
- - Position or identification of the aircraft is in doubt.
- - Radar contact is lost or a malfunctioning radar is suspected.
-
Transfer Methods
What are the Transfer Methods?
- - Physically point to the target on the receiving controllers display.
- - Use land-line voice communications.
- - Use automation capabilities.
-
Service Limitations
When radar mapping is not available, limit radar services to?
- - Separating identified aircraft targets.
- - Vectoring aircraft to intercept a PAR final approach course.
- - Providing radar service in areas that ensure no confliction with traffic on airways, other ATC
- areas of jurisdiction, restricted or prohibited areas, terrain etc.
-
Alignment Accuracy Check
When are Alignment Accuracy Checks performed?
- - During relief briefing.
- - A.S.A.P. after assuming responsibility for the control position.
- - Recheck periodically throughout the watch.
-
Merging Target Procedures
Except while established in a holding pattern apply merging target procedures to all radar identified:
- - Aircraft at 10,000 feet and above.
- - Turbojet aircraft regardless of altitude.
- - Presidential aircraft regardless of altitude.
-
Electronic Cursor
How may it be used?
- - May be used to aid in identifying and vectoring an aircraft and to give finer delineation to a video map.
- - DO NOT use as a substitute for a video map or map overlay.
- - Fixed Electronic Cursors may be used to form the final approach course for surveillance approaches conducted by military operated mobile radar facilities.
-
Radar Service Terminated
When is radar service automatically terminated and the aircraft needs not be advised of termination?
- - Aircraft cancels IFR flight plan, except within Class B airspace, TRSA or where basic radar service is provided.
- - An aircraft conducting an instrument, visual, or contact approach has landed or has been instructed to change advisory frequency.
- - At tower controlled airports where radar coverage does not exist to within 1/2 mile of end of runway, arriving aircraft shall be informed when radar service is terminated.
- - An aircraft completes a radar approach.
-
Primary Radar Identification Methods
What are the methods of identifying aircraft?
- - Observing departing aircraft WITHIN 1 mile of the takeoff runway end at airports with an operating control tower provided averbal/nonverbal rolling/boundary notification is issued for each departing aircraft.
- - Position Correlation
- - Observing target make an turn or turns of 30 degrees or more.
-
Beacon Identification Methods
What are the methods of identifying aircraft?
- - Ident, Ident observed
- - Squawk a discrete code
- - Squawk standby, squawk normal
-
Position Information
When do you need not give position call when Identifying aircraft?
- - Position Correlation
- - One mile off the departure end
-
Identification Status
Inform an aircraft of radar contact when?
- - Initial radar identification in the ATC system is established.
- - Subsequent to loss of radar contact or terminating radar service, radar identification is reestablished.
