Industry:Aviation
The minimum speed at which an aircraft may be operated without affecting its manoeuvring ability. This speed may vary depending on the aircraft type and configuration, or emergency conditions.
Industry:Aviation
Within controlled low level airspace, a route extending upwards from 2200 ft above the surface of the earth and for which ATC service is provided.
Industry:Aviation
The height in feet of the decision height (DH) or minimum descent altitude (MDA) above the touchdown zone elevation (TDZE).
Industry:Aviation
A long-radius taxiway designed and provided with lighting or marking to define the path of aircraft, travelling at high speed (up to 60 kt), from the runway centre to a point on the centre of a taxiway. The high speed taxiway is designed to expedite aircraft turning off the runway after landing, thus reducing runway occupancy time.
Industry:Aviation
The height in feet of the minimum descent altitude (MDA) above the published aerodrome elevation.
Industry:Aviation
A straight-line flight between two NAVAIDs, fixes, points, or any combination thereof. When used by pilots in describing off-airway routes, points defining direct route segments become compulsory reporting points unless the aircraft is under radar contact.
Industry:Aviation
The height above a designated helicopter landing area used for helicopter instrument approach procedures (IAP).
Industry:Aviation
A flight of a number of aircraft that, by prior arrangement among the pilots, normally operate as a single aircraft with regard to navigation and position reports.
Industry:Aviation
A specified height in the precision approach or approach with vertical guidance at which a missed approach must be initiated if the required visual reference to continue the approach to land has not been established.
Note: Decision height (DH) is referenced to the threshold elevation and decision altitude (DA) is referenced to mean sea level (MSL).
