Jeppesen glossary legends

NAVIGATION CHARTS These charts are for training purposes only and are not to be used for flight. The chart training guide is published as a service for pilots training with Jeppesen charts. It is intended for reference only and includes some of the most commonly used symbology. Not all symbology is included with this guide. This guide is revised regularly; however, some variance may exist between this guide and current chart services. These may be the result of one or more of the following: chart issuance dates, timely application of changes received from governing agencies and / or the method of representing such information. Some of the charts used in this guide are based onafictitious location. The chart training guide has been designed as supplementary training material and is not intended for navigation.

No attempt has been made to list all the terms of basic aeronautical nomenclature. Because of the international nature of flying, terms used by the FAA (USA) are included when they differ from International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) definitions. A vertical bar, that is omitted on all new pages, tables of contents, tabular listings and graphics, indicates changes. DEFINITIONS ACCELERATE STOP DISTANCE AVAILABLE (ASDA) — The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the stopway, if provided. ACROBATIC FLIGHT — Manoeuvres intentionally performed by an aircraft involving an abrupt change in its attitude, an abnormal attitude, or an abnormal variation in speed. ADEQUATE VIS REF (Adequate Visual Reference) — Runway markings or runway lighting that provides the pilot with adequate visual reference to continuously identify the take-off surface and maintain directional control throughout the take-off run. ADS AGREEMENT — An ADS reporting plan which establishes the conditions of ADS data reporting (i.e., data required by the air traffic services unit and frequency of ADS reports which have to be agreed to prior to the provision of the ADS services). NOTE: The terms of the agreement will be exchanged between the ground system and the aircraft by means of a contract, or a series of contracts. ADS-C AGREEMENT — A reporting plan which establishes the conditions of ADS-C data reporting (i.e. data required by the air traffic services unit and frequency of ADS-C reports which have to be agreed to prior to using ADS-C in the provision of air traffic services). NOTE: The terms of the agreement will be exchanged between the ground system and the aircraft by means of a contract, or a series of contracts. ADS CONTRACT — A means by which the terms of an ADS agreement will be exchanged between the ground system and the aircraft, specifying under what conditions ADS reports would be initiated, and what data would be contained in the reports. NOTE: The term “ADS contract” is a generic term meaning variously, ADS event contract, ADS demand contract, ADS periodic contract or an emergency mode. Ground forwarding of ADS reports may be implemented between ground systems. ADVISORY AIRSPACE — An airspace of defined dimensions, or designated route, within which air traffic advisory service is available. ADVISORY ROUTE (ADR) — A designated route along which air traffic advisory service is available. NOTE: Air traffic control service provides a much more complete service than air traffic advisory service; advisory areas and routes are therefore not established within controlled airspace, but air traffic advisory service may be provided below and above control areas. ADVISORY SERVICE — Advice and information provided by a facility to assist pilots in the safe conduct of flight and aircraft movement. AERODROME — A defined area on land or water (including any buildings, installations and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft. NOTE: The term “aerodrome” where used in the provisions relating to flight plans and ATS messages is intended to cover also sites other than aerodromes which may be used by certain types of aircraft; e.g., helicopters or balloons. AERODROME CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMARY — Concise summary of specified meteorological elements at an aerodrome, based on statistical data. AERODROME CLIMATOLOGICAL TABLE — Table providing statistical data on the observed occurrence
