When should a radar handover from the SRE ATCO to the PAR ATCO normally be effected? What elements shall be included?
between 15 NM and 7 NM from touchdown
- callsign
- distance from touchdown
- position relative to centre line
- heading
- intention
- frequency
What's the phraseology for the PAR ATCO when accepting the handover?
"Identified and accepted"
What is EOS? What is it used for?
Electro Optical Signal Device
Used to coordinate approaches between TOWER and RADAR. Radar controller requests clearance for approach by pushing the RWY designator, Tower controller approves or denies approach by pushing green or red button. Landing clearance then normally will be given from approach controller.
What's the purpose of the EOS?
to reduce workload (frequency change) for the pilot on short final
What has to be done in addition to the EOS procedure?
TOWER CHECK:
- callsign
- distance from touchdown
- intention
- channel
With which aircraft types are IFR formation flights possible?
jet aircraft only, except PC-7 for active members of the PC-7 team
An IFR formation is composed of only ...? aircraft at a time.
2
The wingman chooses his distance to the leader depending on what? Where?
density of the cloud and associated visual conditions
echelon right parade
Under radar control, ATC has to be advised then the formation size exceeds which minimas? By whom?
1 NM horizontally and 100 ft vertically
flight leader
Aircraft participating in formation flgihts in EUR RVSM airspace are permitted to operate within ... m (... ft)? above or below the flight leader and at a distance not exceeding ... NM (... km)? from the flight leader only.
30 m (100 ft)
0.5 NM (1 km)
How does join-up and rejoing work?
whenever practicable under VMC
wingman is expected to inform ATC of intended join-up when wanting to join lead element out of a radar trail
Can the formation anytime split and change lead?
No, under radar control air crews are required to obtain a break-up clearance from ATC.
Lead change in IMC shall be considered only as an emergency procedure.
What are factors for formation flight? (5)
- pilot qualification
- aircraft equipment (onboard radar working?)
- METEO during approach (heavy turbulence, icing)
- METEO conditions at desination, runway condition
- type of approach available
What are the procedures for formation flight? (7)
- establish formation under VMC ("holding hands")
- wingman right side
- RTF only with leader
- read back of IFR DEP CLR for wingman as well
- transponder STBY for wingman (garbling!)
- restrictions on some airbases
- max. size of 2 aircraft (except PC7 and Patrouille Suisse)
What happens when loss of sight?
wingman reports "BLIND" on radio
- during level flight: wingman does heading change of 20° or more to the RIGHT and climb
- during turn: wingman does lower the aircraft nose - wings level - climb
- during final APP: wingman does turn at least 5° do the RIGHT and climb
In all cases wingman generally reports procedure on frequency.
List the valid documents for MIL ATC regulations.
- ATMM Switzerland (inclusive BLUE pages!)
- ATMM II (local manuals)
- OM C - Regelement 56.101
- Behelf für den Luftkampf BLK, Regelement 56.020
additionally:
- Letters of Agreement, LoA's
- Service Orders (SO) and Information (IN): OM, OMF (Aerodromes) / OMT (ADDC)
What is an important document for aerodromes?
OM, OMF
What is an important document for the ADDC?
OMT
What is the AOC?
Air Operation Center (Swiss Air Force)
What are the duties/responsibilities of the AOC? (4)
- decision about the execution of SAF activities within Switzerland
- planning, organization and coordination of the SAF activities and decisions about the alternate aerodromes
- lead the activities inside the military areas during military operation hours
- when needed, call in of aviate experts (for example in case of emergency)
What is the CAD? (duties?)
Chief Air Defense
= a representative of the AOC, located within the ADDC during MIL OPS times;
responsible to initiate live ident missions etc.
What is the CFO?
Chief Flight Operations
What are the duties/responsibilities of the CFO?
- lead and supervise flight operations at his dedicated airbase
- coordinate flight operations with the AOC
- make decisions in regard to the execution of flight operations at his dedicated airbase
- supervise reserve pilots currency missions and issue mission orders where applicable
- support the resolution of problems related to flight operations
- supervise bird activity and order countermeasures where applicable
- lead the weekly flight operation meeting
- support air crew in case of emergency
- inform about flight accidents and start immediate action according to MFU handbook
- inform skyguide, support and logistic units about flight operations and related specialities
What's the definition of Radar Vectoring?
Radar vectoring is the provision of navitational guidance to aircraft in the form of headings, based on the use of radar.
During radar vectoring, what is ATC responsible for?
providing terrain clearance and separation from other aircraft (according to ICAO airspace classification)
What's the definition of Radar Monitoring?
Radar monitoring is the use of radar for the purpose of providing aircraft with information and advice relative to significant deviations from nominal flight path, including deviations from the terms of ATC clearances.
How does Radar monitoring work within TSAs? What needs to be monitored?
- TSA boundary
- sepearation from traffic not part of the mission
Air crews requesting radar monitoring for missions within Swiss TSA shall be specifically monitored in regard to the TSA boundary.
They need not to be monitored in regard to terrain clearance.
ATC shall ensure the applicable vertical separation or radar separation from any known traffic that is not part of the mission.
How does Radar monitoring work during approaches?
pilot interpreted: horizontal deviations, separation from other traffic
"In Switzerland, the final approach phase of such approaches shall be radar monitored in regard to horizontal deviations from the nominal flight path. Furthermore ATC shall ensure separation from other known traffic when applicable."
EINA: horizontal deviations, separation from other traffic
"EINA approaches in Switzerland include radar monitoring in regard to horizontal deviations from the nominal flight path. Furthermore ATC shall ensure separation from other known traffic when applicable."
What does generally have to be radar monitored?
- flights within TSA
- approaches (pilot interpreted final approaches and EINA approaches
Where do we generally provide separation? (class, flight rule)
between:
- IFR in airspaces class C, D and E
- IFR and VFR in airspace class C
- IFR and VFR in airspace class D within TSA according to local procedures ADDC
