Terminology glossary

AARAirport acceptance rate or airport arrival rate. ARRSRAir Routes Surveillance Radar. ARTCC's radars are mainly used to capture and indicate the location of an airplane on its way between the areas of the terminals. ARSR allows ATC staff to offer ANS services when aircrafts are within ARSR reporting.

The ARSR may in some cases allow an ARSR to allow an ARTCC to offer similar but generally more restricted provision of airborne terminals radars than a radarset. ARTCCAir Routes Transport Director. An entity set up to supply VTS operations to aeroplanes which operate on IFRS schedules within managed aerspace and mainly during the flying phases of time.

Certain VFR aeroplane guidance and support may be provided when the controller's equipping skills and working load allow. The ASRAirport Surveillance System in the USA has 20 remote surveillance stations. Arrival guidance radars to capture and indicate the location of an aeroplane in the vicinity of a passenger base. I' m ATCAir. I' m Signal ATCAir. Aeronautical information system, which is a system of information and communication systems used by the competent authorities to provide information to the public on the safety, security and efficiency of aviation.

ATCTAirport Traffic Control Towers. An arrangement of terminals using air-to-ground communication, signalling and other means to supply traffic control service to aeroplanes which operate in the proximity of an aerodrome or in the range of motion. Authorises aeroplanes to disembark or take off at the aerodrome operated by the control centre or to cross the Category B aerodrome irrespective of scheduling and meteorological circumstances (IFR or VFR).

Towers may also offer landing inspection service (radar or non-radar). Pre-defined routings that direct flights around areas of heavy rain. This is the amount of allocated flying elapsed waiting period to indicate when a passenger can count on check-in. The EDCT is developed as part of a Ground Delay Program (GDP) or other type of management program.

FSMFlight Schedule monitor. An instrument used by ANSPs to control airport demands for transport. FSSFlight service station. Aeronautical organisations providing piloting instruction, en-route communication and VFR searching and rescuing service, supporting grounded aeroplanes and aeroplanes in emergencies, forwarding ATC clearance, sending messages to pilots, transmitting meteorological and NAS information, receiving and processing IR schedules and monitoring AVAIDs.

The FSS also offer the En Route Flight Advisory Service (Flight Watch) at select sites, conduct meteorological surveys, give out information on international flight schedules and give advice on customs and immigration issues. Aircraft ground delay programmes will be introduced to monitor flight volumes to those aerodromes where it is anticipated that forecast transport demands over a longer timeframe will surpass the airport's take-up rates.

Longer timescales in which market demands exceed the take-up level are usually due to a decrease in the take-up level of the aerodrome for some cause. Unfavourable meteorological conditions such as low ceiling and clear conditions are the most frequent reasons for a decrease in the adoption rates. Those ICDTs shall be computed to measure the speed at which air transport reaches the affected aerodrome and to ensure that transport demands correspond to the collection quota.

Delay times resulting from the execution of a ground delay programme depend on two factors: how much longer the initial take-up ratio of the initial request was and for how long the initial request is likely to be higher than the take-up ratio. Controlling aviation flows to aerodromes when the forecast transport requirement is likely to surpass the airport's take-up quota for a brief while.

Temporary stopping of congestion to enable the deployment of a longer-term response, such as a reason delay program. At the affected airports, the level of acceptability was lowered to zero. IFRInstrument flying regulations. Sequence of regulations for the execution of the mission under weather condition of the tool. This is a ground-based precise approaches system that provides course and direction for approaching planes.

Operation involving concurrent take-offs and landings and/or concurrent arrivals when a arriving aeroplane is capable and directed by the officer responsible to stop in front of the crossing runway/taxi lane or intended stopping point. Specified intervals between airplanes in terms of flight times. This is a certain distance between planes in terms of mileage.

MULTI-TAXIMwith every plane that tries to taxi at once, leading to traffic jams. Shared US space communications networks; ANSPs, equipments and related activities, airfields or airfields. Every optical or electronical apparatus, whether in the sky or on the ground, which provides point-to-point routing information or positioning information for aircrafts in motion. An information communication (not sufficiently known in advance to be published by other means) on the installation, state or modification of a constituent (installation, servicing or process of or risk in the national aviation system), the early identification of which is material to staff involved in the operation of the flights.

NRPNorth American Route Program. NRP is a regulatory framework aimed at increasing the agility of passenger scheduling within public policy. Its aim is to make progressive scheduling information available to system operators and ANSPs in order to organise and manage the utilisation of the NAS.

Special STMPSffic Management Program. This is an agreed schedule to minimise the impact of storms on the flow of air in the affected areas of the terminals and/or ARTCC. Usually SWAP is used to disturb the ATC system as little as possible when flying through parts of the sky is hard or even impossible due to storms.

This is an UHF Rho-Theta flight safety device that provides continual display of bearings and distances to the TACAN base stations for appropriately configured aircrafts. TRACONTerminal speed camera surveillance system. Aeroplane landing and take-off (aeroplane landing and take-off): A aeroplane landing and take-off (aeroplane landing and take-off) operation of an aeroplane, including aeroplanes and aeroplanes, that is to say an aeroplane landing and take-off (aeroplane landing and take-off).

TSDTraffic situation indicator. An instrument used by ATM specialists to track the location of aviation and identify transport needs at aerodromes and across different industries. This is an instrument flight rule based method that allows the pilots to fly to the airfield visibly and without overcast. Using Visual Separation, one of the pilots sees the other plane and, on the inspector's instruction, creates his own separate plane by moving his plane if necessary to prevent it.

Visually separating airplanes means that the distance between them is smaller than that required for radars, so that more airplanes can be landed in a given timeframe. VFRVisual flying regulations. Regulations governing the procedure for operating flights under visibility conditons. It is also used by pilot and pilot to specify a kind of timetable.

Typically used to indicate that the size of the aeroplane is greater than the size of the aerodrome.
