FAA Order 7110.65 Chapter 6: Air Traffic Control Procedures Quiz

According to regulations, when a position report affecting separation is not received, action must be taken to obtain the report no later than 5 minutes after the aircraft was estimated over the fix.

The correct statement is true because duplicate position reports are not required from the same aircraft to multiple facilities. This helps streamline communication and reporting processes.

When aircraft will fly courses diverging by 45 degrees or more after departing the same or adjacent airports, they need to be separated to ensure safe operations, as per aviation regulations.

The correct answer is 3 minutes because this is the minimum amount of time it takes for the following aircraft to safely pass through the assigned altitude of the leading aircraft.

In this situation, the departing aircraft must take off before the arriving aircraft leaves a fix that is at least 4 miles from the airport, in order to maintain safe separation between the two aircraft.

In this scenario, the correct separation distance between DME equipped aircraft when the leading aircraft maintains a speed at least 44 knots faster than the following aircraft is 5 miles. This distance allows for safe separation and efficient air traffic management.

According to the question, when the leading aircraft maintains a speed at least 22 knots faster than the following aircraft, the required separation between DME equipped aircraft is 10 miles.

The correct vertical separation timing to separate aircraft traveling opposite courses is from 10 minutes before until 10 minutes after they are estimated to pass.

The correct distances for the scenarios provided are 10 miles when at 35 miles or less from the NAVAID, and 20 miles when more than 35 miles from the NAVAID.

For airspace protection, the separation distance should be 5 miles when the distance from the NAVAID is 35 miles or less, and 10 miles when the distance is more than 35 miles.

The correct answer in this scenario is always to assign an altitude to an aircraft only after certain conditions have been met to ensure safe separation. In this case, the correct conditions involve clearances and cruise clearances as specified in the question and correct answer provided.

In direct radio communication, pilots can coordinate to maintain vertical separation between the climbing and descending aircraft, ensuring safe operations.

According to ATC regulations, the minimum separation required for arriving or departing IFR aircraft to cross behind the flight path of a heavy jet/B757 is 2 MINUTES.

When separating IFR aircraft landing behind an arriving heavy jet/B757, it is important to follow specific time intervals depending on various factors. Option A provides guidance on separating aircraft on the same runway by 2 minutes. Options B and C are incorrect as they do not provide the necessary separation for this scenario. Option D is also incorrect as visual separation alone may not be sufficient for safe operations in this situation.

The correct procedure for aircraft flying diverging courses after takeoff involves specific time and distance restrictions before the courses can diverge to ensure safety and separation.

According to the regulations, the correct minimum separation is 5 miles between the specified types of aircraft.

When takeoff direction is other than in subpara a, the departing aircraft must establish a diverging course from the final approach course before the arriving aircraft leaves a fix inbound not less than 4 miles from the airport. The other provided incorrect answers do not align with the correct procedure described in the question.

According to 6-3-1 SEPARATION MINIMA guidelines, when takeoff direction differs by at least 45 degrees from the reciprocal of the final approach course, the departing aircraft takes off 3 minutes before the arriving aircraft is estimated at the airport.

The departing aircraft must take off and establish on a course diverging by at least 45 degrees from the reciprocal of the final approach course 5 minutes before the arriving aircraft is estimated at the airport or before it starts the procedure turn.

Aircraft can be longitudinally separated by specifying timed departures, fix crossings, holds, or altitude changes. These procedural methods maintain safe distance along shared routes. Controllers use time-based clearances for non-radar operations to control flow, ensuring predictable spacing despite varied speeds or navigation performance.

The correct answer is 3 minutes because when the leading aircraft maintains a speed at least 44 knots faster than the following aircraft, the following aircraft will catch up in 3 minutes.

The correct answer is 3 minutes because when the leading aircraft maintains a speed at least 22 knots faster than the following aircraft, it would take the following aircraft 3 minutes to catch up due to the speed difference.

According to FAA regulations, when an aircraft is climbing or descending through the altitude of another aircraft, there should be a minimum separation of 10 miles if the descending aircraft is leading or the climbing aircraft is following.

The correct answer is 5 minutes because the descending aircraft must be leading or the climbing aircraft must be following, the aircraft must be separated by not more than 4,000 feet when the altitude change started, and the change must be started within 10 minutes after a following aircraft reports over a fix reported over by the leading aircraft or has acknowledged a clearance specifying the time to cross the same fix.

The correct answer is 10 miles, as per the conditions stated in the question.

The correct separation distance between DME equipped aircraft is 20 miles and between other aircraft is 10 minutes when the conditions of subparas a, b, or c cannot be met.
