The grouping of aircraft based on speed. The categories are as follows:
(a) Category A-speed up to 90 kt;
(b) Category B-speed of 91 to 120 kt;
(c) Category C-speed of 121 to 140 kt;
(d) Category D-speed of 141 to 165 kt; and
(e) Category E-speed above 165 kt.
Industry:Aviation
(1) A manoeuvre where a change in the attitude of an aircraft results in a bank angle greater than 60°, an abnormal attitude or an abnormal acceleration not incidental to normal flying.
(2) DND: A manoeuvre intentionally performed by an aircraft involving an abrupt change in altitude, an abnormal attitude or an abnormal variation in speed or flight path.
Industry:Aviation
An ATC unit that provides ATC service to aircraft operating within a flight information region (FIR).

ICAO: Movement of a helicopter/VTOL above the surface of an aerodrome, normally in ground effect and at a ground speed normally less than 37 km/h (20 kt).
Note ICAO: The actual height may vary, and some helicopters may require air-taxiing above 8 m (25 ft) AGL to reduce ground effect turbulence or provide clearance for cargo slingloads.
Note: ICAO generic term that covers both air taxi and hover taxi, as used in North America.
Industry:Aviation
The specified path to be flown by aircraft operating in the vicinity of an aerodrome.
