Aircraft Device(s) used or intended to be used for flight in the air and, when used in ATC terminology, may include the flight crew.
Airplane An engine-driven, fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.
Airship An engine-driven, lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered; Ex: Blimp
Glider A heavier-than-air aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces and whose free flight does NOT depend principally on an engine.
Balloon A lighter-than-air aircraft that is NOT engine driven and that sustains flight through the use of either gas buoyancy or an airborne heater.
Unmanned Aircraft (UA) NO onboard pilot. This device can be any type of airplane, helicopter, airship, or powered-lift aircraft. Unmanned free balloons, moored balloons, tethered aircraft, gliders, and unmanned rockets are NOT considered to be UA.
Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Refers to an unmanned aircraft and its associated elements, which may include control stations (ground-, ship-, or air-based), control links, support equipment, payloads, flight termination systems, and launch/recovery equipment.
Small Unmanned Aircraft An unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft.
Helicopter A rotorcraft that, for its horizontal motion, depends principally on its engine-driven rotors.
Airport An area of land or water that is used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of aircraft and includes its buildings and facilities, if any.
Alternate Airport An airport at which an aircraft may land if a landing at the intended airport becomes inadvisable.
Air Traffic Control (ATC) A service operated by appropriate authority to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic
Flight Level (FL) A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet. For example, FL 250 represents a barometric altimeter indication of 25,000 feet;
Reporting Point A geographical location in relation to which the position of an aircraft is reported.
Positive Control Control of all air traffic within designated airspace by ATC.
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) Equipment (airborne and ground) used to measure, in nautical miles, the slant range distance of an aircraft from the DME navigational aid (NAVAID).
Flight Plan Specified information, relating to the intended flight of an aircraft, that is filed orally or in writing with ATC.
Approved separation Approved separation is separation in accordance with the applicable minima in FAA Order JO 7110.65.
Miles Miles are: -Nautical miles (NM), unless otherwise specified - Statute miles (SM) when used in conjunction with visibility
