- Contexto
- The provision of actual aircraft-derived data, such as magnetic heading, air speed, selected altitude and vertical rate, enables controllers to better assess the separation situations, thus enhancing safety and capacity. It also helps reduce the increasing number of cases where aircraft overshoot their assigned altitudes (referred to as level busts) and improve the performance of other safety net tools.
- Recommendation.— The station controlling the network should, on request, give the aircraft its position in one of the following ways[…] 3) magnetic heading to steer with no wind, to make for the direction-finding station or other specified point using the appropriate phrase, and its distance from the direction-finding station or point, using the appropriate phrase.
