Topic 7

Annex 11
Air Traffic Services

 Objectives of Air Traffic Services (ATS)


1) Prevent collision between aircraft
2) Prevent collision between aircraft on the
maneuvering area, and from obstacle
3) Expedite & maintain an orderly flow of traffic
4) Notify appropriate organizations if Search and
Rescue required

 Divisions of ATS
a) Area Control Service – For controlled flights
b) Approach CS – For arrival & departure of
controlled flights
c) Aerodrome CS- For Aerodrome traffic

 Units providing ATS– Area CC, FIC, Approach


Control Office, AD control tower& ATS reporting
office.
 Classification of Airspace

1

1P
1A
0
 FIR – Flight Information Region
Portions of airspace where it is determined that Flight
Delhi – I Kolkata – E
Mumbai - A Chennai – O
Information Service & Alerting service will be
provided

 Location Indicators
Letters - 1st -> AFSRA

(AFSRA - Aeronautical Fixed Service Routing Area.)

2nd – State/Country

3rd&4th– Station E.g.:

VIDP (DELHI)
OPKC- PAK KARACHI
OAKB – AKGHANISTAN KABUL
 Control Area and Control Zone
CTA –Min. 200m
(700ft) above ground

CTR- Lateral limit


9.3km (5NM) from
center of AD

 RNP (Required Navigation Performance) is a


family of navigation specifications
under Performance Based Navigation (PBN) which
permit the operation of aircraft along a precise flight
path with a high level of accuracy and the ability to
determine aircraft position with both accuracy and
integrity.
Accuracy is 95%
Example – RNP 4 – Accuracy 95% containment basis
within +/- 4NM

 RCP (Required Communications Performance)


is the number of seconds it takes for an instruction to
travel from the ground to the aircraft and
acknowledgement back to the ground.
 ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service)
(D- Data link/ DIGITAL)
1) It is a continuous broadcast of recorded aeronautical
information in busier terminal areas,
i.e. airports and their immediate surroundings. ATIS
broadcasts contain essential information, such as current
weather information, active runways, available
approaches, and any other information required by the
pilots, such as important NOTAMs
2) It helps reduce controllers’ workload & relieve
frequency congestion.
3) The responsibility of preparation and
dissemination lies with the ATS.
4) ATIS shall not be transmitted on voice channel of
ILS
5) Max duration – 30 sec
6) ATIS is updated on any significant official weather
change, otherwise 30 min/1 hour depending on airport.

 Alerting Service
Provided to
a) For all a/c with ATC service
b) As far as practicable to all other a/c with filed FPL or
known to ATS
c) To any a/c known or believed to be subject to
unlawful interference

How is emergency handled by ATS?


A) Uncertainty Phase (INCERFA)
1) No communication within a period of 30 min from
when com. Should have been received
2) A/c fails to arrive within 30 min of ETA last notified

B) Alert Phase (ALERFA)


1) Following INCERFA
2) A/c cleared to land but failed to land within 5 min of
estimated time of landing and no communication re-
established
3) Operating efficiency of a/c impaired but not to the
extent for a forced landing (apprehension to the
safety of the aircraft and its occupants)
4) A/c known or believed to be the subject of lawful
interference

C) Distress Phase (DETRESFA)


1) Following ALERFA
2) FOB considered exhausted, or insufficient for a/c to
reach safely
3) Operating efficiency impaired and forced landing is
likely
4) Forced landing is about to be done or already made

 ATS Clocks to be within +/- 30 sec of UTC at all


times.

 ATS Routes
1) A, B, G, R – Domestic + Non- RNAV
2) L, M, N, P–Domestic + RNAV
3) H, J, V, W – International + Non- RNAV
4) Q, T, Y, Z – International + RNAV
K – Low level helicopter route
U – Upper airspace
S - Supersonic route

Flights prohibited within 15NM of the


international border of India
