The process of transferring the radar identification of an aircraft target and radio communications for that aircraft to another controller to ensure the uninterrupted provision of radar service.
Industry:Aviation
A flight path extending from the end of the base leg in the direction of landing to and along the extended centreline of the runway (or landing path) to the threshold of the landing runway (or landing path).
Industry:Aviation
The course sector that is situated on the same side of the localizer antenna as the runway.
Industry:Aviation
Turbulence that momentarily causes slight, erratic changes in altitude or attitude (this could be reported as "light turbulence"), or turbulence that causes slight, rapid and somewhat rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable changes in altitude or attitude (this could be reported as "light chop").
Industry:Aviation
A flight path parallel to the landing runway (or landing path) in the direction opposite to landing. The downwind leg normally extends between the crosswind leg and the base leg.
Industry:Aviation
(1) Canada: That part of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) from the time that the aircraft
(a) completes the last procedure turn or base turn, where one is specified;
(b) crosses the final approach fix (FAF), waypoint or point; or
(c) intercepts the last track specified for the procedure until it reaches the missed approach point (MAP). It is in this part of the procedure that alignment and descent for landing are accomplished.
(2) ICAO: That segment of an instrument approach procedure in which alignment and descent for landing are accomplished.
Industry:Aviation
Turbulence that causes changes in altitude or attitude, but in which the aircraft remains in control at all times, and that usually causes variations in indicated airspeed (IAS) (this could be reported as "moderate turbulence"), or turbulence that causes rapid bumps or jolts without appreciable changes in aircraft altitude or attitude (this could be reported as "moderate chop").
Industry:Aviation
An expression used by ATC when prompt compliance is required to avoid the development of an imminent situation.
Industry:Aviation
That part of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) between the missed approach point (MAP), the missed approach waypoint (MAWP), or the point of arrival at decision height (DH), and the specified missed approach NAVAID, intersection, fix or waypoint, as appropriate, at the minimum IFR altitude. It is in this part of the approach procedure that the aircraft climbs and returns to the en route structure or is positioned for holding or a subsequent approach. The route of flight and altitudes are depicted on instrument approach charts.
Industry:Aviation
The unit whose area of responsibility (AOR) encompasses the destination aerodrome.
