Even echelons. Vertical separation system - training

TSM Woodworking Plant is engaged in production of house kits from profiled timber with natural humidity, development of projects and construction of houses, baths, gazebos from profiled timber of our own production in Nizhny Novgorod. Manufacturing profiled timber– a high-tech process, high-quality raw materials and full automation allows us to produce building materials with excellent technical characteristics. Automatic quality control guarantees strict compliance of the produced timber with the most stringent building codes and requirements.

Thanks to a stepwise raw material processing system profiled timber acquires such properties as increased strength, resistance to corrosion and deformation processes, and fire resistance. At the same time, the original qualities of natural wood are preserved: aesthetics, low thermal conductivity, environmental friendliness, not to mention the fact that wooden houses have a special energy of warmth and tranquility. Being a natural material, profiled timber does not require any additional finishing, and in itself is a decoration of any structure.

Houses, bathhouses, gazebos made of profiled timber

All these qualities make profiled timber an excellent material for the construction of wooden houses, bathhouses, gazebos. Even the aggressive effects of high humidity, high and low temperatures, characteristic of the Nizhny Novgorod region, are “nothing” for this material. A house made of profiled timber will serve you for many years, embodying your dream of an ideal place to live. A bathhouse and a gazebo made of timber will become a harmonious addition to the ensemble, combining practicality and aesthetics.

Another area of ​​activity of our company is drying wood of various species at a competitive price and in any volume! The drying process takes place in special convection chambers under strict adherence to temperature and humidity conditions. The drying time depends on the type of wood and volumes of lumber, and usually ranges from 7 to 10 days, depending on the time of year.

vertical separation- dispersion of aircraft in altitude at established intervals;

longitudinal separation- dispersal of aircraft at the same altitude at specified intervals in time or distance along the track;

Distance-based longitudinal separation minima when using DME are maintained by maintaining a distance(s) between reported positions of aircraft determined by DME in conjunction with the use of other suitable navigation aids that shall not be less than specified values. When using such separation, direct radio communication is maintained between the pilot and the air traffic controller. For aircraft flying along the same track and located at the same (cruising) flight level, longitudinal separation minimums are established: 40 km. Provided that each aircraft uses DME stations located along the track and separation is verified by simultaneously receiving DME readings from aircraft at short intervals to ensure compliance with the minima. ^ Paragraph 4.

Between aircraft flying under VFR and IFR, longitudinal separation intervals must be no less than those established for flights under IFR. 405. The use of lateral separation is carried out in such a way that the distance between sections of the proposed routes on which lateral separation of aircraft should be provided is always no less than the distance established taking into account navigation errors, taking into account a certain protective reserve. The protective reserve is determined by the appropriate by the ATS authority and is included as an integral part of the lateral separation minima. navigation aids 407. Minimum lateral separation intervals when flying at the same altitude under VFR: 1) for separated routes when flying on international air routes below the lower flight level - 5 km; 2) when overtaking an aircraft in front on the right (along the airfield circle - from the outside ) - 500 m. 408.

When aircraft move parallel to each other. 409. In the absence of continuous radar control, lateral separation during IFR flights is prohibited.

According to the organization's latest estimates Eurocontrol, the number of flights in the European region in 2014 will exceed 2013 by 1.8%, and by 2020 will reach 11 million flights, that is, almost 20% more than in 2013. Already in the late 80s of the last century, it became clear that the constant growth in air traffic poses a serious problem for global civil aviation, namely an acute shortage of air space. There was a need to look for new, more rational and effective approaches to its use, in other words, to somehow tighten air traffic. The first step in this direction was the active use of the navigation method, that is, area navigation, as well as the establishment of rather strict ones in the busiest regions, which made it possible to significantly reduce the lateral intervals between aircraft. In parallel with the introduction of RNAV, the issue of reducing the interval between aircraft in the vertical plane was actively studied. ICAO has developed a concept to reduce vertical separation intervals in the upper airspace between levels FL290 and FL410 from 2000 feet to 1000 feet, that is, 300 meters, this concept is called RVSM – reduced vertical separation minimum or reduced vertical separation intervals.

Implementation.

Implementation of a separation system RVSM began in 1997 with the North Atlantic region, where vertical separation intervals between FL330 and FL370 were first reduced to 1000 feet. Since 2000, there has been a massive transition to RVSM intervals around the world. By 2005, the RVSM system had already been installed in almost the entire European region and the Western Hemisphere, and in 2011 in Russia.

To date, all ICAO member countries have installed in their airspace RVSM between echelons FL290 and FL410. Standing apart are China, Mongolia and the DPRK, which refused to switch to the foot height measurement system, however, introduced RVSM in meter units.

Separation system in the Russian Federation. RVSM echelons are highlighted in green.

Requirements for equipment and crew.

To perform flights using separation RVSM aircraft must have appropriate authorization issued by the aviation authorities of the country of the operator, and flight crew members must undergo special training.

The aircraft must have the following serviceable equipment:

  • two independent height measurement systems;
  • transponder with the function of transmitting the current flight altitude (Mode C Transponder), as well as TCAS;
  • warning system for deviation from a given flight level with a response threshold of 300 feet;
  • autopilot with the function of maintaining a given altitude (ALT HOLD).

Features when submitting a flight plan.

When submitting a flight plan for an aircraft approved for RVSM, the index must be indicated among other equipment W, which means RVSM approval. If for some reason there is no such clearance, the flight plan must be submitted indicating the flight level below FL290.

Example of a flight plan for an aircraft with RVSM approval.

Equipment failure on the ground or in flight.

In the event that the equipment necessary for a flight using separation fails RVSM, the crew must immediately report this to the dispatcher, or, if on the ground, submit an amended flight plan; such malfunctions include:

  • failure of the altimeter (one of the two or both);
  • 75 feet(while on the ground);
  • the difference in the altimeter readings of the commander and co-pilot is more than 200 feet(in flight);
  • failure of the alarm about failure to maintain a given altitude;
  • transponder malfunction, including an error in the transmitted flight altitude of more than 300 feet TCAS failure
  • failure of the autopilot, resulting in the impossibility of automatically maintaining altitude, as well as exceeding the permissible deviation 65 feet from a given height;
  • If the situation allows, the dispatcher will provide an interval CVSM(conventional vertical separation minimum) equal to 2000 feet and will give the command to maintain the current flight level. However, if the loss of RVSM status occurs in congested airspace, a descent below FL290 will most likely be ordered.

    Flight in a turbulence zone.

    If the aircraft encounters turbulence severe enough to cause the autopilot to disengage, or to deviate from the assigned altitude by more than 65 feet, the crew informs the controller about the impossibility of maintaining RVSM intervals due to turbulence. The controller acts in the same way as in case of loss of RVSM clearance status, however, the aircraft is not considered to have lost this status. As soon as the aircraft leaves the turbulence zone and the flight altitude can again be maintained in automatic mode with the required characteristics, the crew reports on readiness to resume RVSM flight.

    Separation.

    Separation is the creation of intervals in height and distance between aircraft in flight in order to prevent dangerous proximity and possible emergency situations.

    Separation control is carried out by the dispatcher in accordance with the regulatory documents in force in the country, and when flying under visual flight rules, also by the pilot of the aircraft. There are other measures designed to prevent dangerous proximity of aircraft, for example, the TCAS system.

    There are vertical separation, longitudinal separation and lateral separation (see below). Contents [remove]

    Principles of vertical separation

    Vertical separation and echelon

    On the air traffic controller's display, two aircraft on a collision course are separated by altitude (the left number in the bottom row in the aircraft label is its flight level in hundreds of feet)

    Vertical separation is the dispersion of aircraft by height. To create vertical separation intervals, the concept of echelon was introduced. This is a conditional height, calculated at standard pressure and separated from other heights by the amount of established intervals. The altitude of a flight level may be very different from its actual altitude, but all aircraft whose altimeter is set to standard pressure will show the same altitude at the same point.

    The standard pressure value (QNE) is 760 mmHg. Art. (1013.2 hectopascals, 29.921 inches Hg) - the same all over the world, but the vertical separation scheme may differ in different countries. When crossing the boundaries of airspaces in which different schemes operate, pilots change flight level at the direction of the dispatcher (all border crossing options that require a flight flight change are regulated by aeronautical information collections).

    Flight designation

    In most countries around the world, flight levels are calculated in feet and are abbreviated as FL (Flight Level), followed by the flight level altitude in hundreds of feet. The designation of units is omitted. For example, FL240 is a level of 24,000 feet.

    In Russia, some CIS countries and China, echelons are meter and are designated by a number - the echelon height - indicating units, for example, echelon 10100 m.

    Semicircular system and its analogues

    Vertical separation is usually carried out in a semi-circular system. This means that in the pattern, flight directions alternate from flight level to flight level. For example, in Russia, a flight level of 3300 m is assigned to aircraft moving from west to east (heading from 0° to 179°). The next flight level of 3600 m is assigned when flying from east to west (heading from 180° to 359°). The next 3900 m - again to the east, etc. The semicircular scheme is used in almost all countries of the world, but may have its own characteristics.

    For example, in Russia, the angle is measured according to the true (geographical) path angle, and in many other countries - according to the magnetic one. Due to the peculiarities of the geographical location of the country, sometimes angles may not be measured from 0° and 180°. So, in Chile there is a shift of 30°, and in France, New Zealand, and Vietnam - by 90°.

    In some cases, the quadrant separation scheme, which was the main one for ICAO until 1963, is used. It operates in many countries such as India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Japan, and also in the UK for visual and instrument flights in uncontrolled airspace below FL245. The first echelon is located in the first quadrant (0°-89°, magnetic track angle), the second - in the second quadrant (90°-179°), the third - in the third quadrant (180°-269°), the fourth - in the fourth quadrant ( 270°-359°), the fifth - in the first quadrant and so on.

    Transition to flight level

    Main article: Echelon (aviation)

    When the aircraft takes off and lands, the airfield atmospheric pressure (QFE) (in Russia) or pressure normalized to sea level (QNH) is set. Thus, the altimeter displays the actual altitude or altitude relative to sea level. The crew needs it to maintain approach and exit procedures.

    Shortly after takeoff, the crew sets the standard pressure (QNE) to 760 mmHg. Art. The height at the intersection of which the standard pressure is established is called the transition height. It is published in the airfield diagrams. When descending, a new pressure value on the altimeter is set when crossing the transition level. The transition level can vary for each airfield depending on atmospheric pressure; this value is usually available in the ATIS auto information.

    The safe flight level and transition altitude are calculated in such a way that there remains a sufficient altitude margin between them (in true terms) even after setting a new pressure value on the altimeter. This provides a “gap” between the transition level and the transition altitude, which eliminates the situation where aircraft flying at the flight level and altitude relative to the ground (or sea level) can intersect at the actual altitude. This height range is called the transition layer.

    Horizontal flight in the transition layer is prohibited. In this range, only descent or climb is possible.
