MILPORT ATC 1

NORDO acft is wingman, formation straight-in approach, leader reports 3 greens + does go around, wingman lands

- squawk 7700
- try to re-establish radio communication and listen to emergency frequencies
- maintain VMC as long as possible (if unable to comply with radar identification procedure)

triangle right (1min, 120°) -> transmitter failure
triangle left ( 1min, 120°) -> transmitter and receiver failure

- in VMC and ground in sight, land at next suitable landing site

- avoid any airfield traffic circuit areas or CTRs

- report problems and intentions to ATC by phone

- return acft to home base

if maintenance crew not advised, hover over maintenance area, wait for ground crew

puma aim for belly landing, better than one gear side out

after 3 unsuccessful attempts to contact an acft by ATCO on assigned frequency or 121.5

inform SPVR, SPVR forwards to ADDC (CAD)

1. Callsign
2. position
3. compliance with flight plan profile
4. other relevant information, if available

5 min -> inform supervisor (theoretically)

15 min -> try to establish radio contact (yellow)

30 min -> inform CFO/AOC (red)

pilot:
- pilot informs ATC
- ATC informs fire brigade
- ATC informs CTS
- pilot taxies to hot gun area

maintenance:
- maintenance informs pilot
- pilot informs ATC
- ATC informs fire brigade
- pilot taxies to hot gun area

fire brigade:
- fire brigade informs ATC
- ATC informs pilot
- ATC informs CTS
- pilot taxies to hot gun area

Separate the following acft...
- IFR and IFR in C, D, E
- IFR and VFR in C
- IFR and SVFR
- SVFR and SVFR

- IFR and VFR flights within TSA according to local ADDC procedures

- MIL-MIL and CIV-MIL within CTR/TMA

- 1'000 ft vertical, or

- geographical

2'000 ft below FL290 if speed exceeds M 0.7

1'000 ft above the parachute-dropping acft

- apply 1'000 ft vertical separation until other means of separation established

- PAPA approaches or 1'000 ft can not be assured: departure has to begin take-off roll before arrival reaches 15 NM

- give traffic information to departing acft including distance of arriving acft

- instruct departing acft to vacate axis as soon as possible

IFR jet approach -> 7 NM

IFR prop, helicopter -> 5 NM

IFR PAPA -> 15 NM

crossing / converging

Chief Flight Operation

- lead and supervise the flight operations at his dedicated airbase
- coordinate flight operations with the air operations center (AOC)

- issue information and clearances (...)
- provide radar vectoring of arriving traffic onto pilot interpreted final approach aids or to a point where a PRA, SRA or a visual approach can be made
- provide radar monitoring of other pilot interpreted final approaches
- provide separation between: succeeding departing acft, succeeding arriving acft and a departing acft and a succeeding arriving acft
- radar monitoring for flights within Swiss TSA
- ensure MVA for IFR flights
- act as a fighter controller
- crossing clearance for civil airways and buffer zones
- alerting and guidance of the CFR unit to the place of incident
