The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. |
Operations may be conducted: | by day or nightin variable weather conditions |
Performance may be demonstrated in: | simulated situations, and/oran operational air traffic control workplace |
Conflict of air traffic is: | a situation in which, in the opinion of air traffic services personnel, the distance between aircraft as well as their relative positions and speed might compromise the safety of the aircraft operations |
Conflict can occur between: | aircraftaircraft and obstructionsaircraft and vehicles/pedestriansaircraft and airspace boundaries |
Resolution of air traffic conflicts requires: | the determination of alternative flight paths which would be free from conflicts and the selection of one of these flight paths for use |
Recognising air traffic conflict might include: | maintaining situational awarenessscanning techniquessystem tools for recognising conflictsGraphic Display ToolsFight Progress Strip (FPS) placement and manipulation and Flight Data Records (FDR) |
System tools for recognising comprised separation may include: | Flight Progress Stripsvisual identificationdisplayspilot reports |
Separation standards include: | vertical separation standards (including with terrain)reduced vertical separation standards (RVSM)longitudinal separation standardslateral separation standardsradar separation standardsADS and ADS (B) standardswake turbulence separation standardsvisual separation standardssight and follow standardrunway separation standardsemergency separation standards (vertical) |
Alternative methods of resolving conflicts might include: | pilot responsibility for separationdelaying aircraftdelaying clearances, including clearance to enter particular classifications of airspaceuse of vectoring under RADAR controlrefusing requests from pilots and/or other controllerspassing traffic information |
Compromised separation might include: | situations where less than the applicable separation minima occurs between: aircraft; an aircraft and a hazard; or an aircraft and airspace boundariessituations where separation assurance is not achievedsituations where one aircraft is subject to an emergency, i.e. emergency descent or forced landing |
Dependent on the type of organisation concerned and the local terminology used, workplace procedures may include: | company proceduresenterprise proceduresorganisational proceduresestablished proceduresstandard operating proceduresregulatory standards and recommended practices |
Administrative actions might include: | incident reporting procedures'stand-down' procedures |
Tactical separation assurance is defined as that which is achieved through: | proactive application of separation standards to avoid rather than resolve conflictsplanning traffic to guarantee rather than achieve separationexecuting the plan so as to guarantee separationmonitoring the situation to ensure that plan and execution are effective |
Strategic separation assurance is defined as that which: | places emphasis on the designing of airspace, air routes, air traffic management plans and air traffic control practices to reduce the likelihood aircraft will come into conflict |
