1 Instituto Superior Técnico Air Traffic Management (GTA) First semester, 2017/2018 First test Solution proposal Name: Number: Read carefully each question before answering The answers should be given exclusively on these sheets The allowed consultation is limited to 5 (five) A4 sheets of paper For the multiple choice questions, a wrong answer is penalized with 1/4 of the question value 1. [1 pt] What are the three elements of an Air Traffic Control Service? Radar, Alerting and Flight Information Service. Area, Approach and Aerodrome. Radar, Procedural and Flight Information Service. Radar, Procedural and Alerting Service 2. [1 pt] The Standards contained in the Annexes to the Chicago convention are to be considered: advice and guidance for the aviation legislation within the member states binding for the member states that have not notified ICAO about a national difference binding for all airline companies with international traffic binding for all member states 1

2 3. [1 pt] Name the Air Navigation Services Provider (ANSP) for your country s airspace: NAV (Portugal), ENAIRE (Spain), DFS or EUROCONTROL (Germany), LVNL or EUROCONTROL (Netherlands) 4. [1 pt] What are the airspace classes where separation of VFR flights from IFR is required? A,B B,C C,D D,E 5. [2 pt] Name a state which is: An EUROCONTROL member but not European Union (EU): Switzerland (also Norway, Turkey, Albania,...) An ECAC member but not EUROCONTROL: Iceland (also Azerbeijan, Estonia,...) 6. [1 pt] A TMA is: a control area normally established at the confluence of ATS Routes in the vicinity of one or more major aerodromes airspace that starts from the surface of the earth upwards to a specified upper limit established to cover several major air traffic routes around one or more major aerodromes a control area which take always a cylindrical shape to encompass the airspace required by IFR flights to be protected an area in which submission of a flight plan is not required 2

3 7. [1 pt] Thick only the mandatory items for an aircraft to be certified in RVSM operation. 2 primary independent altimeters. An altitude deviation alerting system. 1 standby altimeter. 1 SSR transponder. TCAS version 7.0. Automatic altitude hold system. 8. [1 pt] On a non-controlled airspace, a single engine aeroplane and a glider are converging to a point of conflict where a leisure ballon is performing a panoramic flight. Given this scenario, complete the following statement: The airplane pilot must arrange the flight in order not to interfere with either the glider nor the ballon. Glider pilot must maneuver in order not to interfere with the ballon, since this is the highest priority traffic in this situation. 9. [1 pt] An aerodrome altitude with reference to mean sea level (MSL) is -117 ft (i.e, bellow sea level). On a certain day, the measure obtained at the aerodrome reference point is 1028 hpa. The correct QNH to provide in the aerodrome departure and arrival information is:

4 10. [1 pt] A certain aerodrome runway has the following declared distances: TORA: 3250 m Clearway: 360 m Stopway: 250 m LDA: 3000 m Wide: 45 m Which of the following is/are correct? TODA = 3500 m ASDA = 3500 m ASDA = 3250 m TODA = 3860 m 11. [1 pt] For this question refer to Figure 1. The aeronautical chart provided in Figure 1 is a RNAV SID. 12. [1 pt] For this question refer to Figure 1. A certain operator is planning a non RVSM flight from Lisbon to Madrid with the following route: LPPT (Lisbon Airport) IDBID OGERO TLD LEMD (Madrid Airport) at a cruise FL 210. This operator can expect an approval of the flight plan with no ATC restrictions. True. False. 13. [1 pt] For this question refer to Figure 1. Select all the correct statements: Lisbon Airport is served by four runways (two tarmac stripes), 03/21 and 35/17. This chart refers to procedures to be applied in: Airport with runways 03 and 35 in use. Airport with runways 03 in use (runway 35 closed). Airport with runways 21 and 17 in use. Airport with runways 21 in use (runway 17 closed). 4

6 14. Consider the following message: LPPT Z 02004KT CAVOK 23/10 Q1026 (a) [1 pt] This message is a: FPL METAR NOTAM SIGW TAF (b) [1 pt] What is the meaning of the term 23/10? dew point/ temperature maximum / minimum temperatures minimum / maximum temperatures temperature / dew point (c) [1 pt] Assuming a transition altitude of 4000ft, determine the transition level: FL20 FL30 FL40 FL50 FL60 6

7 15. Consider an aircraft flying on radial 045 outbound the VORDME code LOL, TAS 120kt with wind calm. At time T1, the aircraft overflies NDB code P, which is located 10nm from LOL. Simultaneously, the ADF reads a relative bearing of 090 to NDB code TO. After 5 minutes, at time T2, the ADF reads 135 to that same NDB. (a) [1 pt] Determine the distance of the aircraft to LOL at time T /60 = 20nm (b) [2 pt] Draw below a chart depicting the situation described above, including the relative positions of the aircraft, LOL, P, and TO at time T2. N aircraft at T2 10nm P 10nm LOL R045 TO 7
