What are the methods that controllers use for separating aircraft?
Procedural Control is divided into three categories.
- Vertical Separation.
- Longitudinal Separation.
- Lateral Separation.

What are the four methods of non radar separation?
Initial Separation of Successive Departing Aircraft.
What is the primary used of radar in ATC?
Primary radar is a system where the ground-based antenna transmits a radar pulse, then listens for the small amount of return energy that is reflected from an aircraft. TCAS can warn the crew of impending collisions and advise avoidance manoeuvres provided it receives the altitude information from nearby aircraft.
How can ATC improve communication?
Recognize and understand respective pilot and ATCO working environments and constraints. Listen carefully to other communications on the frequency to build situational awareness, Avoid talking over transmissions by other users, and be alert to potential call sign confusion.
How do ATC communicate with pilot?
The standard method of communication between an air traffic controller and a pilot is voice radio, using either VHF bands for line-of-sight communication or HF bands for long-distance communication (such as that provided by Shanwick Oceanic Control).
Does ATC provide separation after an aircraft leaves Class B clearance?
ATC does not provide separation after an aircraft leaves the Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E surface area on a special VFR clearance. Special VFR operations by fixed-wing aircraft are prohibited in some Class B and Class C surface areas due to the volume of IFR traffic.
What should pilots read back from ATC clearances?
Pilots of airborne aircraft should read back those parts of ATC clearances and instructions containing altitude assignments, vectors, or runway assignments as a means of mutual verification.
How does ATC compare to other pilots?
ATC will usually be more patient with you and actually talk to you a little slower to make sure that you understand everything. Other pilots will probably give you more room as well and respect the fact that you are newer. What do you have to lose?
Can a recreational pilot fly without ATC communication?
Recreational pilots cannot fly in airspace requiring ATC communication, but it’s a good idea to learn to use the right words. This knowledge can help them in an emergency, and it helps prepare a recreational pilot for a private pilot certificate, if he decides to continue his training.
