FL

A

Flight level.
A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represents hundreds of feet. For example flight level FL250 represents a barometric altimeter indication of 25,000 feet flight level FL255, and indication of 25,500 feet

GPS

A

Global positioning system.
A space based radio positioning navigation and time transfer system. The system provides highly accurate position and velocity information, and precise time, on a continuous global basis, to an unlimited number of properly equipped users. The system is unaffected by weather, and provides a worldwide common grid reference system

VOR

A

Very high frequency Omni directional range navigational aid.
A ground-based electronic navigation a transmitting very high frequency navigation signals, 360° in azimuth, oriented from magnetic north. Used at the basis for navigation in the national airspace system. The VOR periodically identifies itself by Morse code and may have an additional voice identification Feature. Voice features may be used by Atc or FSS for transmitting instructions/information to Pilots
