a. This Glossary was compiled to promote a common understanding of the terms used in the Air Traffic

the Glossary will preclude any misunderstandings concerning the system's design, function, and purpose. T5 L# v3 t8 Q( b) j

i4 m, A: m3 B( h+ O4 S# L# [Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), are included when they differ from FAA definitions. These terms are R& c& s$ {* j {( ]: K1 I
followed by “[ICAO].” For the reader's convenience, there are also cross references to related terms in other parts t( d5 n7 Q: O" \2 R
of the Glossary and to other documents, such as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Aeronautical; r; w( v3 T0 s
