final approach altitude
1final approach altitude — The height of an aircraft at the start of the final approach …
2final approach segment — The segment of an instrument approach procedure in which the alignment and descent for landing are accomplished (ICAO). It begins at the final approach fix and ends at the missed approach point. The final approach can be to a runway for a… …
3final approach fix — The fix and/or waypoint located on the final approach course of an instrument approach procedure prior to the point of the glide path intercept on a precision approach procedure; prior to the final approach fix on a nonprecision approach… …
4Approach and Landing Tests — Infobox Space mission mission name = Approach and Landing Tests insignia = ALT mission patch.png shuttle = Enterprise crew members = 2 x 2 launch pad = N/A launch = N/A landing = N/A duration = N/A orbits = Not orbital flights altitude = N/A… …
5Instrument approach — Terminal procedures for an ILS approach in the United States. (The disclaimers shown in red in the illustration do not appear on the original approach plate.) For aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR), an instrument approach or… …
6segments of an instrument approach procedure — An instrument approach procedure may have as many as five separate segments, depending on how the approach procedure is structured. The approach segments begin and end at designated fixes. However, under some circumstances certain segments may… …
7glide-slope-intercept altitude — The minimum altitude of an intermediate approach segment prescribed for precision approach that assures obstacle clearance. It is the minimum altitude to intercept the glide slope or glide path on a precision approach. The intersection of the… …
8surveillance approach — An instrument approach in which a radar controller provides navigational guidance in azimuth only. The airport surveillance radar (ASR) furnishes the pilot headings to fly to align the aircraft with the extended centerline of the landing runway.… …
9Missed approach point — (MAPt or MAP) is the point prescribed in each instrument approach at which a missed approach procedure shall be executed if the required visual reference does not exist. It defines the point for precision and non precision approaches when the… …
10overhead approach maneuver — A maneuver carried out by a pilot who is operating in accordance with an IFR (instrument flight rules) flight plan in VMC (visual meteorological conditions) over an airport. This maneuver is not an instrument procedure. Overhead maneuvers are… …
