A descent profile determined for vertical guidance during a final approach segment.
Industry:Aviation
The vertical position of an aircraft in flight and variously height, altitude or flight level (FL).
Industry:Aviation
ICAO and Canada: Expression used in radiocommunications to instruct a pilot to enter the runway intended for takeoff.
Note: Used in conjunction with a runway.
Industry:Aviation
The altitude expressed in hundreds of feet indicated on an altimeter set to 29.92 in. of mercury or 1013.2 mb.
Industry:Aviation
A specified altitude 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 altitude (DA) is referenced to mean sea level (MSL) and decision height (DH) is referenced to the threshold elevation.
Industry:Aviation
Operations, used at very busy airports, that consist of optimising separation of aircraft in final approach in order to minimise runway occupancy time (ROT) for both arriving and departing aircraft and to increase runway capacity.
Industry:Aviation
Canada: The altitude at which an aircraft can fly and maintain a 2000-ft clearance over known obstacles or terrain within a delineated geographic area, as depicted on en route charts.
Note: This term was replaced by the term area minimum altitude (AMA) on April 18, 2002.
Industry:Aviation
A parachute device installed on certain aircraft that is deployed to assist in deceleration of the aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
The altitude as shown by an altimeter. On a pressure or barometric altimeter, it is altitude as shown uncorrected for instrument error and uncompensated for variation from standard atmospheric conditions.
Industry:Aviation
ICAO: The climb (or descent) performance with the aeroplane in the en-route configuration with:
(a) the critical power-unit inoperative; and
(b) the critical two power-unit inoperative in the case of aeroplanes having three or more power-units.
