Controlled Taxiway - ✔️✔️A taxiway under the control of ATC. Only vehicles operated
by, or escorted by the holder of a D AVOP may enter or cross a controlled taxiway.
Obtaining clearance from ATC is a mandatory prior to entering or crossing..
Glide Path - ✔️✔️Part of the instrument Landing System that transmits a beam to the
plane at the right angles to the localizer beam at the ideal approach path angle.
Head-of-Stand (HOS) Road - ✔️✔️Vehicle corridor that passes underneath the bridges
located between the nose of the aircraft and face of the terminal building.
Horseshoe - ✔️✔️A portion of Apron VI between B and C piers on the west side of the
Domestic Terminal Building.
Instrument Landing System (ILS) - ✔️✔️Landing aid for aircraft that uses radio
beacons on the ground and instruments on the flight deck. One beacon (localizer)
sends out a vertical radio beam along thr centre line of the runway. Another beacon
(glide scope) transmit a beam to the plane at right angles to the localizer beam at the
ideal approach path angle.
Localizer - ✔️✔️Part of the ILS that sends out vertical beam along the centre line of the
runway and helps the pilot to remain lined up with the runway during an instrumental
approach.

Manoeuvring Area - ✔️✔️A subset of the movement area used for the take off and
landing of aircraft and for the movement of an aircraft associated with take off and
