Questions and CORRECT Answers
Q1 - Assure separation - - CORRECT ANSWER - MATS 10.1.1.1.1 - Assure separation
through the process of assessing traffic, identifying conflicts, planning to ensure separation,
executing the plan and monitoring the situation to ensure the standard is not infringed.
Q2 - V1 standard - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10.5.3.1 - Apply 500 FT between IFR and
VFR aircraft (including SVFR), or between SVFR aircraft where SVFR clearance is due to
visibility, under the following conditions:
a) both aircraft are 7000 kg MTOW or less;
b) both aircraft are at or below 10,000 FT; and
c) traffic information is provided to the IFR aircraft, unless it is impracticable.
Q3 - V2 Standard - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10.5.3.2 - Apply 1000 FT to:
a) all aircraft, up to and including FL290; and
b) aircraft with RVSM approval except military formation aircraft, from FL290 to FL410
inclusive.
Q4 - How does vertical separation change in severe turbulence, required standard - - CORRECT
ANSWER - 10.5.3.3 - Apply 2000 FT:
a) in known standing wave conditions or severe turbulence at all levels;
b) from FL290 to FL410 inclusive:
i) when at least one aircraft is not RVSM approved.
ii) following pilot report of an inability to comply with RVSM due to equipment failure;
iii) following an encounter with turbulence that affects the capability to maintain level flight; or
iv) to military formation aircraft, regardless of individual RVSM approval state of each aircraft
with the formation; and
c) above FL410 to all aircraft.
, Q5 - Is WT turb applied for Pilot separation - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10.6.1.4 e - Wake
turbulence separation is not require:
When the pilot of an IFR aircraft in flight has reported the preceding aircraft in sight and has
accepted responsibility for visual separation with that aircraft. If it is determined by the flight
creq that additional spacing is required, the flight crew may state their requirements to ATC.
Q6 - UFB what sep, and range - - CORRECT ANSWER - MATS 10.2.2.4 - S3a - 5 NM,
UFB or DRA (TMA/TCU)
a) UFB or DRA;
b) TMA/TCU; and
c) Display range does not excess 150 NM.
Q7 - S1 Standard - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10.2.2.2 - Aircraft are in communication with
and under the control of either a TCU, or an associated control tower providing Class C or Class
D services are are:
a) within 100 NM of an MSSR sensor;
b) within 30 NM of a radar sensor using:
i) military high definition TAR; or
ii) primary data from a civil high definition TAR;
c) within ADS-B surveillance; or
d) within MLAT surveillance.
Q8 - Rules for assigning visual sep to pilots - - CORRECT ANSWER - 10.8.1.1 - You may
only assign responsibility for visual separation to a pilot when:
a) aircraft are operating at or below 10,000 FT; and
b) the pilot of one aircraft:
i) reports sighting the other aircraft; and
ii) accepts responsibility to maintain own separation with or follow that aircraft.
