Read the first 7 Regulatory Compliance & Air Traffic Control Coordination flashcards as text

  1. When an IFR aircraft reports 'minimum fuel,' what is the controller's primary obligation?

    Answer: Inform every facility involved in the flight of the minimum fuel state

    Minimum fuel is not an emergency but requires the controller to notify all subsequent ATC facilities so they can expedite handling.

  2. Which NOTAM type is used to notify pilots of conditions at airports or en route that are essential to flight safety?

    Answer: FDC NOTAM

    FDC (Flight Data Center) NOTAMs are issued by the National Flight Data Center and cover regulatory matters such as chart amendments and TFRs.

  3. A runway incursion occurs when an aircraft, vehicle, or person is on a runway without authorization. Which order governs ATC procedures for preventing runway incursions?

    Answer: FAA Order 7110.65

    FAA Order 7110.65 contains the specific ATC procedures controllers must follow to prevent runway incursions.

  4. When coordinating a climb through another sector's altitude, a controller must receive:

    Answer: Approval from the sector that owns the airspace being entered

    Before climbing an aircraft into airspace owned by another sector, the controller must obtain approval from the receiving sector.

  5. What is the primary purpose of an Operational Deviation (OD) in ATC?

    Answer: To document when ATC procedures were not followed

    An Operational Deviation is an occurrence where ATC procedures in 7110.65 were not followed, requiring documentation and review.

  6. Under the Pilot/Controller Glossary, 'IDENT' instructs a pilot to:

    Answer: Activate the Special Position Identification (SPI) feature on the transponder

    IDENT causes the aircraft's transponder to transmit a distinctive signal that makes the blip on the radar display blossom, aiding identification.

  7. When must ATC provide wake turbulence separation for a Small aircraft following a Heavy aircraft on the same approach path?

    Answer: When the Small aircraft is within 6 nautical miles behind the Heavy

    Wake turbulence separation minima of 6 nautical miles are applied for Small aircraft following Heavy aircraft on the same final approach course.
