44Constant slope barrier — A diagram of the Constant Slope Barrier. A constant slope barrier is a traffic barrier made of reinforced concrete and designed with a single slope that is used to separate lanes of vehicular traffic. Its advantages compared to more complex… …
45Constant Slope Barrier — A constant slope barrier is a traffic barrier made of reinforced concrete and designed with a single slope that is used to separate lanes of vehicular traffic. Its advantages compared to more complex shapes arise because its performance is not as …
46false glide slope — A characteristic of the glide slope portion of the ILS (instrument landing system), in which one or more false glide slopes at different angles to the horizontal occur well above the true glide slope. This is because of a radiation pattern of the …
47abbreviated visual approach slope indicator system — A night landing aid placed at the beginning of a flare path or runway. It displays different colored lights, depending on the angle from which it is viewed by a pilot approaching to land. When viewed from the correct angle of safe approach, it… …
