final approach fix altitude
1final 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… …
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… …
3Instrument 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… …
4segments 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… …
5glide-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… …
6surveillance 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.… …

9Marker beacon — A marker beacon is a particular type of VHF radio beacon used in aviation, usually in conjunction with an instrument landing system (ILS), to give pilots a means to determine position along an established route to a destination such as a runway.… …
10Instrument landing system — The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a ground based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high intensity lighting arrays to… …
