When should you use the phrase "continue as filed" or "proceed as filed"?

Whenever a pilot in the air makes the first call on your frequency.

After terminating radar vectoring.

When a pilot leaves the frequency.

Never. It is not correct phraseology.

You are working an ACC sector where you are responsible to sequence traffic into a TMA. The traffic has to be handed off to APP with a distance of at least 8 NM, cleared to FL100.
You have just two aircraft in your sector, but they are expected to enter the TMA in 15 minutes time with only 2 NM separation if you don't do anything. What is the most efficient way of achieving the required sequence?

Vector both aircraft as they are approaching the TMA boundary.

Put both aircraft in holding.

Transfer the second aircraft to APP at FL110 instead of FL100.

Put the second aircraft in holding.

Apply speed control as early as possible.

Instruct the second aircraft to make a 360.

You are instructing two pilots to enter holding over TAGUL.
You tell BTI123 to descend to FL090, and RYR344 to descend to FL080. However, BTI123 does not know what the transition level is so already has local QNH of 1038 set. What will the resulting vertical separation be because of this? Assume that 1 hPa = 30 ft.

1450 fet

1300 feet

250 feet

1000 feet

750 feet

When should you use the phrase "resume own navigation"?

When a pilot leaves the frequency for UNICOM.

When terminating radar vectoring.

When an aircraft leaves controlled airspace.

Never - it is not standard phraseology.

You are controlling an aircraft with this flight plan route: LEP/N0430F360 UM869 NINTA
What does "N0430F360" mean?

Speed and flight level after LEP VOR. and flight level after LEP.

Bearing 360 from LEP will be crossed at 430 kts.

At LEP a climb to FL430 and 360 kts is planned.

Speed (430 kts) and track (360 degrees) after LEP

Aircraft BTI642 request's free speed below FL 100, but due traffic situation, you are unable to clear aircraft for high speed, and want it to maintain speed 250 IAS below FL 100, 180 IAS on base leg, and 160 IAS on final, what phraseology should you use, to instruct aircraft to use these speeds?

BTI642, Reduce indicated airspeed 250 knots below FL 100

BTI642, speed as published [additional traffic information]

BTI642, high speed not approved, normal speed [additional traffic information]

BTI642, reduce indicated airspeed 250 knots below FL 100, then 180 knots on base leg, and 160 knots on final.

You have cleared an aircraft for ILS approach, along with an instruction to maintain IAS 180 knots. For how long do you expect the pilot to maintain this speed?

Until established on the ILS (LOC and GP).

Until established on the LOC.

Until 4 NM final.

Until touchdown.

You cannot issue a speed restriction along with an approach clearance.

An aircraft is tracking outbound from a VOR on radial 270. There is a strong wind from the north. What can you say about the aircraft's magnetic track (MT), heading (HDG) and ground speed (GS)?

MT will be 270, HDG will be less than 270, GS will be unaffected by the wind

MT will be 270, HDG will be greater than 270, GS will be slightly reduced by the wind

MT will be 270, HDG will be greater than 270, GS will be greatly reduced by the wind

MT will be greater than 270, HDG will be 270, GS will be slightly reduced by the wind

MT will be greater than 270, HDG will be less than 270, GS will be increased by the wind

A pilot on your frequency declares an emergency. Which of the following are you permitted to do? Mark two answers.

Deal with the emergency

Tell him to Squawk Emergency 7700

Ask him to cancel the emergency or disconnect - you are unable to facilitate him

Ignore him

Tell him to ditch in the sea and give some advise about getting out of the water

Provide information about alternate aerodrome (weather, field elevation, runway lenght available)

You are very busy on an ACC sector and there is little/no supporting ATC below you. Aircraft are calling you at airports for clearance but you are also dealing with many overflights and departing/arriving flights. Who should you give priority to?

VFR aircraft

Aircraft on the ground

Aircraft in other sectors

Aircraft in the air

Pilots calling for a radio check

You decide to have some fun, and instruct aircraft to proceed to Gulf of Riga and land there, and aircraft refuses this instruction, what should you do?

Call the SUP, such unprofessional pilots should not be flying online on Vatsim

Call him a noob on the frequency, maybe that will help

Nothing, captain has rights to refuse instruction, and in this case you should provide him with alternate instruction which he can accept.

Just ignore him, he is noob anyways.
