APPROACH CONTROLLER LESSON PLAN THREE PHASE THREE: IFR PROCEDURES A. Vectoring
A. Discuss when we are allowed to vector airspace, areas to avoid when vectoring and what the MVA is over water in W291.
1. Application (FAAO 7110.65 page 5-6-1).
NOTEVFR aircraft not at an altitude assigned by ATC may be vectored at any altitude. It is the responsibility of the pilot to comply with the applicable parts of CFR Title 14. B. Speed Adjustments (FAAO 7110.65 chapter 5, section 7).
B. Instruct the trainee to turn to FAAO 7110.65 page 5-7.
1. Application
NOTEIt is the pilot’s responsibility and prerogative to refuse speed adjustment that he/she considers excessive or contrary to the aircraft’s operating specifications.
2. Methods 3. Minima 4. Termination
C. Clearances (FAAO 76110.65 chapter 4, section 2). 1. Clearance Items 2. Route or Altitude Amendments 3. Abbreviated Departure Clearance 4. Altrv Clearance APPROACH CONTROLLER
NOTEAn instruction to "resume normal speed" does not delete speed restrictions that are applicable to published procedures of upcoming segments of flight, unless specifically stated by ATC. This does not relieve the pilot of those speed restrictions which are applicable to 14 CFR Section 91.117. C. Instruct the trainee to turn to FAAO 7110.65R Para. 4-2-1, and 4-2-9. NOTE The phrase "do the best you can" or comparable phrases are not valid substitutes for an amended clearance with altitude or speed restrictions. NOTEA pilot will not accept an abbreviated clearance if the route of flight filed with ATC has been changed by him/her or the company or the operations officer before departure. He/she is expected to inform the control facility on initial radio contact if he/she cannot accept the clearance. It is the responsibility of the company or operations officer to inform the pilot PHASE 3

D. Altitude Assignment And Verification (FAAO 7110.65 chapter 4, section 2). 1. Vertical Separation Minima 2. Flight Direction **NOTE: Clear aircraft at altitudes according to the TBL 4-5-1 FAAO 7110.65. 3. Exceptions 4. Lowest Usable Flight Level **NOTE: TBL 4-5-2 FAAO 7110.65 to determine the lowest usable flight level to clear aircraft at or above 18,000 feet MSL. 5. Altitude Information 6. Anticipated Altitude Changes E. Holding aircraft (FAAO 7110.65 chapter 4, section 6). 1. Clearance To Holding Fix 2. Clearance Beyond Fix 3. Holding 4. Visual Holding Points F.

Any unit desiring to employ mechanical and/or electronic ECM in EASTPAC SOCAL/NOCAL OPAREAs will submit an ECM request (ECM Clearance, Small Scale ECM Notification, ECM Training Frequency Coordination Request or Large Scale ECM Request) to COMTHIRDFLT in accordance with COMTHIRDFLT/COMSEVENTHFLT OPORD 201 and indicate ECM intentions in the OPAREA request. All units shall comply with ECM procedures in COMTHIRDFLT/COMSEVENTHFLT OPORD 201, specifically that air dispensed chaff does not travel any closer than 50 NM and surface chaff any closer that 15 NM, of any land mass, including offshore islands. COMEX and FINEX of ECM operations will be reported real-time to “BEAVER” on assigned frequency. Unrestricted use of all airborne and surface ECM is authorized outside of 200 NM perimeter of the Canadian and U.S. West Coast and any Hawaiian Island. An ECM clearance or ECM training coordination request is not required. Inside the parameters listed above, EW training will be conducted in accordance with COMTHIRDFLT/COMSEVENTHFLT OPORD 201. i.
