Ch 5 Radar Card Organization

General Concepts followed by review Questions

Concept 5-1-1

Provide radar service only if

Concept 5-1-1

Provide radar service only if you are personally satisfied  with the radar presentation and equipment performance is adequate for the service being provided.

Concept 5-1-2

Check for accuracy of radar systems when

Concept 5-1-2

During the relief briefing, or as soon as practical after the releif briefing

Concept 5-1-3

There are primary and secondary radar systems. Secondary may be used solely as long as one of the following conditions is met:

Concept 5-1-3

In class A Airspace

Outside class A Airspace

  When coverage is additional to primary radar

When primary is unavailable (you must advise pilots)

  When secondary is the only available (you must    advise pilots) 

Concept 5-1-4

You may use beacon targets for seperation if it has been verified by one of these methods

Concept 5-1-4

1-Correlate beacon and primary targets of the same aircraft to assure they coincide

2-Determine the specific distance of displacement if they do not coincide

3-If beacon range accuracy cannot be verified, you may use targets FOR TRAFFIC INFORMATION ONLY

Concept 5-1-5

Electronic Attack (EA) Activity

What do you do?

Who do you notify?

Phraseology?

Concept 5-1-5

Refer all EA activity requests to the center supervisor.

If it interfers with radar, request the aircraft stop over the emergency frequency

Facility Name, stop stream burst in area, area name, degree and distance from facility

Concept 5-1-6

When radar mapping is not available, limit radar services to:

Also provide a ________ warning neighboring facilities

Concept 5-1-6

1. Seperating targets
2. Vectoring aircraft to the final approach course
3. Providing service in areas that ensure no conflicts with terrain or other aircraft
4. Issue a NOTAM for adjacent ATC

Concept 5-1-8

Except in holding patterns, Merging target procedures apply to all:

Concept 5-1-8

1. Aircraft above 10,000 feet
2. Turbojets
3. Presidential Aircraft

Concept 5-1-9

Holding Pattern Surveillance

What do you do if you see an aircraft stray away from a holding area on your scope?

Concept 5-1-9

Assist it in returning

5-1-10

Deviation advisories

If an aircraft is observed in a position and track which will obviously cause the aircraft to deviate from protected airspace....

5-1-10

Inform and assist it in returning to protected airspace

Concept 5-1-12

If neccessary you may request an aircraft to provide reporting over a fix. After receiving this statement, it discontinues compulsorary reporting until this statement

Concept 5-1-12

When "Radar Contact" is stated the pilot no longer reports over compulsorary reporting ponts.

When "radar contact lost" or "radar Contact terminated" is transmitted, reporting over fixes begins again

Concept 5-1-13

Radar Service Terminated

It is automatically terminated when:

Concept 5-1-13

1. An aircraft cancels an IFR flight plan (except when radar service is being provided)
2. An aircraft conducting an approach has changed to advisory frequency
3. The end of runways
4. After an aircraft completes a Radar Approach

5-2-1 Beacon Assignment

What mode transponder is required?

Phraseology-....

5-2-1

Mode 3/A

Concept 5-2-2 Discrete Environment Beacon Code

When are computer generated codes modified?

What if it is going into an enroute ARTCC airspace?

Concept 5-2-2

Aircraft that will remain in the terminal facilities airspace.

If an aircraft is going to enter an artcc airspace, use the code generated from their computer

Concept 5-2-3 Nondiscrete Environment Beacon Codes

What are the non-discrete function codes?

Concept 5-2-3

They are codes used to make handoffs to other sectors in a non-discrete environment. This will be in more detail later, for now just be familiar with them

Concept 5-2-4 Mixed environment

When Discrete codes exist in your area-Comply with previous statements, or assign function codes

When it does not exist comply with non discrete codes
