a. This Glossary was compiled to promote a common understanding of the terms used in the Air Traffic6 s% G7 r0 ]5 ^% i* R
Control system. It includes those terms which are intended for pilot/controller communications. Those terms5 H9 b6 v) j9 c6 k
most frequently used in pilot/controller communications are printed in bold italics. The definitions are primarily
: P8 f- L1 j1 G4 _( H6 V/ d1 Cdefined in an operational sense applicable to both users and operators of the National Airspace System. Use of* X! B M# A- }$ x: Z2 `2 Y2 C
the Glossary will preclude any misunderstandings concerning the system's design, function, and purpose.
+ n- z: r5 }* h% vb. Because of the international nature of flying, terms used in the Lexicon, published by the International
/ Y" J( \) R, [! LCivil Aviation Organization (ICAO), are included when they differ from FAA definitions. These terms are" j- q8 P) j$ E& k4 O) U( F
followed by “[ICAO].” For the reader's convenience, there are also cross references to related terms in other parts- Q; O. d( ?2 u
of the Glossary and to other documents, such as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Aeronautical1 [* k% Y( q% J) o
Information Manual (AIM).
