7.6 Approval of Approach Control Radar Units
Approach control radar units may apply to their appropriate ATSD Regional Manager to be approved to enable controllers who hold Approach Control Surveillance ratings with an appropriate surveillance endorsement, but do not also hold Approach Control Procedural ratings, to provide a procedural approach control service.
To be approved the provider of air traffic services will be required to demonstrate that:
a) the approach control surveillance service is provided by an ATS surveillance system;
b) reasonable assurance shall exist that surveillance derived information will be continuously available during the notified period of the provision of an approach control surveillance service except for any notified periods of maintenance;
c) wherever possible, maintenance shall be planned to be conducted during periods when the approach control surveillance service is not routinely notified as available;
d) the unit shall be staffed to ensure that an approach control surveillance service is available during the notified period of the provision of an approach control surveillance service;
e) contingency measures and the procedures to be used in the event of an ATS surveillance system failure are published in the unit MATS Part 2;
f) flow management arrangements are applied in order to ensure that maximum traffic levels are within the system capacity using the contingency procedures;
g) the unit has an approved Unit Training Plan (UTP) which provides such additional non-radar training as is appropriate to unit procedures. This training may be undertaken either at the unit or at a certified ATC training provider;
h) the unit competence scheme (UCS) has procedures for examining controllers to ensure they are competent to provide a procedural service using the contingency arrangements described in the unit MATS Part 2;
i) the unit has conducted a risk assessment to determine the period that the contingency arrangements described in the unit MATS Part 2 are suitable for application;
j) a formal review is conducted following periods during which the ATS surveillance system was not available (or periodically if an ATS surveillance system is not available on a regular basis) in order to confirm that the arrangements described in the unit MATS Part 2 remain suitable;
k) in the event of an ATS surveillance system failure, the contingency measures and procedures described in the unit MATS Part 2 are to be employed by all controllers providing the approach control surveillance service to that aerodrome.
7.7 Area Control Procedural (ACP) Rating
An Area Control Procedural (ACP) rating entitles the holder to provide an en-route air traffic control service without the use of surveillance equipment.
Oceanic Control (OCN) Rating Endorsement
An Oceanic Control (OCN) rating endorsement entitles the holder to provide air traffic control services to aircraft operating in the Shanwick Oceanic Control Area. To be granted an Oceanic rating endorsement a controller must hold either an Area Control Procedural or an Area Control Surveillance rating.
7.8 Area Control Surveillance (ACS) Rating
An Area Control Surveillance (ACS) rating entitles the holder to provide an air traffic control service in control areas with the use of surveillance equipment.
To be valid, the rating must include a Radar, Automatic Dependent Surveillance, Multilateration or Oceanic Control rating endorsement.
7.9 Area Control Surveillance (ACS) Rating Endorsements
a) Radar (RAD)
The Radar rating endorsement to the area control surveillance rating indicates that radar is used as the surveillance equipment. It entitles the holder to use radar in the provision of the following services: area control, terminal control, offshore and special tasks.
b) Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS)
The ADS rating endorsement to the Area Control Surveillance rating indicates that ADS is used as the surveillance equipment. It entitles the holder to use ADS in the provision of the following services: Area Control, Terminal Control, Special Tasks and Offshore.
