A high-definition, short-range radar used as an approach aid. This system provides the controller with altitude, azimuth and range information of high accuracy for the purpose of assisting the pilot in executing an approach and landing. This form of navigation assistance is termed a "precision radar approach."
Industry:Aviation
A procedure for conducting two or more simultaneous instrument approaches to converging runways.
Industry:Aviation
Radar equipment used to determine the position of an aircraft in range and azimuth.
Industry:Aviation
A practise approach to a runway by a jet aircraft (normally military) at idle thrust. The approach may start at a relatively high altitude over a runway (high key) and may continue on a relatively high and wide downwind leg with a high rate of descent and a continuous turn to final.
Industry:Aviation
A radar system that detects objects by means of reflected radio signals.
Industry:Aviation
A procedure in which an aircraft lands, makes a complete stop on the runway, and then commences a takeoff from that point.
Industry:Aviation
Annotation used on an instrument approach chart to indicate that the procedure turn may have been eliminated and that the initial approach portion of the procedure is being provided by ATC vectors. Without ATC vectoring, the instrument approach procedure (IAP) may not have a published initial approach.
Industry:Aviation
An IFR ATC arrival procedure published in the Canada Air Pilot (CAP) for pilot and controller use.
Industry:Aviation
A radar system that requires complementary aircraft equipment (transponder). The transponder generates a coded reply signal in response to transmissions from the ground station (interrogator). Since this system relies on transponder-generated signals rather than signals reflected from the aircraft, as in primary surveillance radar, it offers significant operational advantages such as increased range and positive identification.
Industry:Aviation
The provision of position information, vectors, or track and ground speed checks.
