In controlled high level airspace (HLA), a prescribed track between specified fixes.
Note: On aeronautical charts, high level airways are indicated by the letter "J" (e.g. J500).
Industry:Aviation
U.S.: A marker beacon used with an instrument landing system (ILS) (CAT II) precision approach located between the middle marker and the end of the ILS runway, transmitting a radiation pattern keyed at six dots per second and indicating to the pilot, both aurally and visually, that he/she is at the designated decision height (DH), normally 100 ft above the touchdown zone elevation, on the ILS CAT II approach. It also marks progress during a CAT III approach.

ICAO and Canada: Expression used in radiocommunications to instruct a pilot to enter the runway intended for takeoff and to wait.
Note: Used in conjunction with a runway, and the reason for the delay if it is not obvious.

U.S.: An automated function of the TPX-42 that alerts the controller when a Mode C transponder-equipped aircraft on an IFR flight plan (FP) is below a predetermined minimum safe altitude. If requested by the pilot, LAAS monitoring is also available to VFR Mode C transponder-equipped aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
U.S.: A published altitude representing the maximum usable altitude or flight level (FL) for an airspace structure or route segment. It is the highest altitude on a Federal airway, jet route, area navigation low or high route, or other direct route for which a minimum en route altitude (MEA) is designated in FAR 95 at which adequate reception of NAVAID signals is assured.
