Presentation Transcript

  1. Air Traffic Control • Definition - • ATC is a service provided by an appropriate agency to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic.

  2. Air Traffic • Aircraft operating in the airspace or on an area of airport normally used for movement of aircraft.

  3. ATC Agencies • Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). • Approach Control. • Control Tower.

  4. ATC Responsibilities • Separation is ATC’s primary responsibility. • ATC provides other services as necessary.

  5. ARTCC • Responsibility - • Control of en route IFR traffic within controlled airspace. • Services provided to VFR aircraft on a workload permitting basis.

  6. ARTCC • Area of jurisdiction - • This area may cover an area as large or larger than some states.

  7. ARTCC • Communication network - • Direct pilot to controller communication is provided by remote transmitter receiver (RTR) sites.

  8. Approach Control • Requirements to establish - • Approved instrument approach procedure. • Direct pilot to controller communication. • Letter of agreement (LOA).

  9. Approach Control • Types of control - • Radar is predominate. • Some non-radar areas still exist.

  10. Control Tower • Provides traffic control on and around the airport to include ground control.

  11. FSS Services • Pilot briefings. • En route communications. • VFR search and rescue. • Assist lost and emergency aircraft. • Relay ATC clearances. • Originate NOTAMs.

  12. FSS Services • Broadcast aviation WX and National Airspace System (NAS) information. • Receive and process IFR flight plans. • Monitor NAVAIDS.

  13. FSS Services • At selected locations - • Provide En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS). • Take WX observations. • Issue airport advisories. • Advise Customs and Immigration of trans border flights.

  14. FSS Communication Network • Communications tie-in to military base operations, ARTCC, and other FSSs.

  15. 2-4-8Radio communications format: • a. Initial radio contact: • 1. Identification of aircraft. • 2. Identification of ATC unit. • 3. Message (if any). • 4. The word "over" if required.

  16. 2-4-8Radio communications format: • b. Subsequent transmissions from the same (ATC) position shall use the same format, except the ID of the ATC unit may be omitted.

  17. 2-4-9Abbreviated Transmissions • a. Use the ID prefix and the last 3 digits or letters of the aircraft ID after communications have been established.

  18. 2-4-9Abbreviated Transmissions • Do not abbreviate similar sounding aircraft IDs or the ID of an air carrier or other civil aircraft having an FAA authorized call sign.

  19. 2-4-9Abbreviated Transmissions • b. Omit the facility ID after communication has been established.

  20. 2-4-9Abbreviated Transmissions • c. Transmit the message immediately after the callup (without waiting for the aircraft's reply) when the message is short and receipt is generally assured.

  21. 2-4-9Abbreviated Transmissions • d. Omit the word "over" if the message obviously requires a reply.

  22. 2-4-17 a.Serial numbers • The separate digits. • Examples • NumberStatement • 11,495 "One one four niner five." • 20,069 "Two zero zero six niner."

  23. 2-4-17 b.Altitudes or flight levels • 1. Altitudes - Pronounce each digit in the number of hundreds or thousands followed by the word "hundred" or "thousand" as appropriate.

  24. 2-4-17 b.Altitudes or flight levels • Note - Altitudes may be restated in group form for added clarity if the controller chooses.

  25. 2-4-17 b.Altitudes or flight levels • Example 2 • NumberStatement • 10,000 "Ten thousand." • 11,000 "Eleven thousand." • 17,900 "Seventeen thousand niner hundred."

  26. 2-4-17 c. Time • 1. General time information - • The 4separatedigits of the hour and minutes based on the 24-hour clock in terms of UTC.

  27. 2-4-17 c. Time • 3. Time check - • The word "time" followed by the 4 separate digits of the hour and minutes, and nearest quarter minute.

  28. 2-4-17 c. Field elevation • 5. Field elevation - • The words "field elevation" followed by the separatedigits of the elevation.

  29. 2-4-17 c. Field elevation • Examples • ElevationStatement • 17 feet "Field elevation, one seven." • 817 feet "Field elevation, eight one seven." • 2,817 feet "Field elevation, two eight one seven."

  30. 2-4-17 e. Altimeter setting • The word "altimeter" followed by the separate digits of the altimeter setting. • Example • SettingStatement • 30.01 "Altimeter, three zero zero one."

  31. 2-4-17 f. Surface wind • The word "wind" followed by the separatedigits of the indicated wind direction to the nearest 10 degree multiple, the word "at," and the separatedigits of the indicated velocity in knots.

  32. 2-4-17 g. Heading • The word "heading" followed by the threeseparatedigits of the number of degrees, omitting the word "degrees." • Use heading 360 degrees to indicate a north heading.

  33. 2-4-17 h. Radar beacon codes • The separate digits of the 4 digit code. • Examples • CodeStatement • 1000 "One zero zero zero." • 2100 "Two one zero zero."

  34. 2-4-17 i. Runways • The word "runway," followed by the separatedigits of the runway designation.

  35. 2-4-17 i. Runways • For a parallel runway, state the word "left," "right," or "center" if the letter "L," "R," or "C" is included in the designation.

  36. 2-4-17 i. Runways • Examples • DesignationStatement • 3 "Runway Three." • 8L "Runway Eight Left." • 27R "Runway Two Seven Right."

  37. 2-4-17 j. Frequencies • 1. The separatedigits of the frequency, inserting the word "point" where the decimal point occurs.

  38. 2-4-17 j. Frequencies • When the frequency is in the L/MF band, include the word "kilohertz."

  39. 2-4-17 j. Frequencies • 2. USAF/USN: Local channelization numbers may be used in lieu of frequencies for locally based aircraft when local procedures are established to ensure that local aircraft and ATC facilities use the same channelization. • Example • FrequencyStatement • 275.8 MHz "Local channel one six."

  40. 2-4-17 k. Speeds • 1. The separate digits of the speed followed by "knots" except as required by paragraph 5-7-2. • Examples • SpeedStatement • 250 "Two five zero knots." • 190 "One niner zero knots."

  41. 2-4-17 l. Miles • The separate digits of the mileage followed by the word mile. • Examples • "Three zero mile arc east of Nottingham." • "Traffic, one o'clock, two five miles, northbound, DC Eight, flight level two seven zero."

  42. 2-4-18 Number Clarification • a. If deemed necessary for clarity, and after stating numbers as specified in paragraph 2-4-17, controllers may restate numbers using either group or single-digit form.

  43. 2-4-18 Number Clarification • Example • "One seven thousand, seventeen thousand." • "Altimeter two niner niner two, twenty nine ninety two." • "One two six point five five, one twenty six point fifty five."

  44. 2-4-19 Facility ID • Identify facilities as follows:

  45. 2-4-19 Facility ID • a. Airport traffic control towers - State the name of the facility followed by the word "tower."

  46. 2-4-19 Facility ID • Where military and civil airports are located in the same general area and have similar names, state the name of the military service followed by the name of the military facility and the word "tower."
