23
Q

ETA

A

the time at which it is estimated that an aircraft will land, provided that no delays experienced.

24
Q

estimate

A

the time in UTC at which an eye for aircraft is calculated, by other controller, pilot, or through automated means, to arrive over significant point.

25
Q

estimated

A

expression used within ATS when communicating an ATC estimate

26
Q

estimating

A

an expression used within 80s when communicating a pilot estimate

27
Q

hand off

A

the process of transferring identification of an aircraft and radio communications for that aircraft, to another unit or sector

28
Q

identification

A

the process of ascertaining that a particular Target is the return of a specific aircraft

29
Q

Omni facility

A

a VOR, a VORTAC, TACAN that provides Azimuth information, expressed as radios in degrees from 000 degrees to 359 degrees

30
Q

DME

A

distance measuring equipment

airborne and ground equipment used to measure the slant range distance from a DME Navid in nautical miles

31
Q

correlation

A

an automated or manual function that matches ATS surveillance data with flight plan data.

32
Q

Cruise climb

A

a cruising technique resulting in a net increase in altitude as aircraft Mass decreases. A clearance or instruction to carry out a cruise climb allows the pilot the option of climbing at any given rate, as well as the option of leveling off at any intermediate altitude.

33
Q

point out

A

an action taken by a controller to transfer the identification of an aircraft with another controller, when control and radio communications will not be transferred

34
Q

reciprocal track

A

term used in the application of Separation, indicating tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 136 degrees to 180 degrees inclusive

35
Q

rvsm

A

reduced vertical separation minimum

the application of 1000ft vertical separation between rvsm aircraft in rvsm airspace

36
Q

conflict

A

disrespect to Aerodrome advisory a situation where one aircraft comes in proximity to another aircraft such that one may require immediate alteration to its flight path to avoid creating risk of a collision. With respect to ATC service, the actual or predicted convergence of aircraft that violates one or more separation minima.

37
Q

Crossing Tracks

A

an expression used in the application of Separation indicating tracks that converge or diverge at an angle of 45° to 135 degrees inclusive.

38
Q

polar route

A

a Northbound or Southbound Route that enters or exits CDA via designated Russian polar fixes located north of 75 degrees north. routes are defined as Northbound when aircraft are flying a tract of 315 degrees clockwise to 045 degrees and southbound when tracking 135 degrees clockwise to 225 degrees.

Q

RNPC

A

required navigation performance capability

40
Q

RNAV

A

a heading issued to an aircraft for the purpose of providing navigation guidance.

to issue headings to an aircraft for the purpose of providing navigational guidance.

46
Q

cleared route

A

a route on which an aircraft is able determine its position track and consequently the minimum IFR altitude without the benefit of navigational assistance.

51
Q

clearance limit

A

the point to which an aircraft is granted an ATC clearance

52
Q

expect approach clearance time

A

the time at which it is expected that an aircraft will be cleared to commence approach for landing

53
Q

expect further clearance time

A

the time at which is expected that a further clearance will be issued to an aircraft

54
Q

common point

A

a single fixed, whether a ground-based Navid, a fix derived from nav AIDS, or geographical coordinates expressed in degrees of latitude or longitude, over which two or more aircraft will pass, or have passed before proceeding on the same track or diverging tracks. for the purpose of longitudinal separation between aircraft using DME and/or gnss, a common point is defined as the same DNE nav Aid, the same gnss reference position or a collocated DME NAVAID/ gnss reference position
