Industry:Aviation
The geodetic co-ordinate reference system used in Canada and the U.S. that allows the user to mathematically describe (in degrees of latitude and longitude) any position on the earth's surface. NAD83 uses North American ground stations as references.
Note: In Canada, NAD83 has been deemed to be equivalent to World Geodetic System 1984 for aviation purposes.
Industry:Aviation
A variable track structure developed daily by appropriate Oceanic Area Control Centres (Gander (West) or Shanwick (East)) to create a series of minimum time tracks across the North Atlantic (NAT) taking into consideration weather, opposite direction traffic, danger areas, airspace reservations, usable NAVAIDs, aircraft volume and domestic routes.

Operation down to minima of 200 ft decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR) 2600 ft. (When RVR is not available, 0.5 SM ground visibility is substituted.)
Note: Rotorcraft visibility limits may be half those published for aeroplanes.
Industry:Aviation
Operation down to minima below 200 ft decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR) 2600 ft, to as low as 100 ft DH and RVR 1200 ft.
Note: Rotorcraft visibility limits may be lower than those published for aeroplanes.
