◉ Aeronautical Advisory Stations (UNICOM). Answer: Air to ground
communication facility employed at airports with a low volume of
general aviation traffic and where no control tower is active.
◉ Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) Answer: Systematic mental
approach to consistently determine the best course of action in a
given situation
◉ Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) Answer: Federal Aviation
Association (FAA) official guide to basic flight information and Air
Traffic Control (ATC) procedures.
◉ Aeronautical Knowledge Test. Answer: Federal Aviation
Association (FAA) exam required to become a Remote Pilot in
Command (PIC) for a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS).
,◉ Air Traffic Control (ATC). Answer: Responsible for providing the
safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic at airports where the
type of operations and/or volume of traffic requires such a service.
◉ Airmen's Meteorological Information (AIRMET) Answer: Weather
advisory that contains information about weather events that are
potentially unsafe. Compared to SIGMETs, AIRMETs cover less
severe weather.
◉ Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS Answer: Weather
reporting system that provides surface observations up to the
minute via digitized voice broadcasts and printed reports
◉ Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS) Answer:
Continuous broadcast of recorded aeronautical information in
busier airports. Contain essential information such as weather
information, active runways, available approaches, and NOTAM.
◉ Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS). Answer: Weather
reporting system that consists of various sensors, a processor, a
computer-generated voice subsystem, and a transmitter to
broadcast weather data on a minute-by-minute basis.
, ◉ Aviation Area Forecast (FA) Answer: Encompasses the weather
conditions over a large regional area. Beneficial in verifying airport
conditions at airports that do not have terminal aerodrome
forecasts.
◉ Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR). Answer: Observation
of current surface weather reported in a standard international
format. Issued hourly unless significant weather changes have
occurred.
◉ B4UFly App Answer: Smartphone app from the Federal Aviation
Association (FAA) that helps unmanned aircraft operators
determine whether there are any restrictions or requirements in
effect at the location where they want to fly.
◉ Center of Gravity (CG). Answer: The point at which your aircraft
would perfectly balance if it were suspended at that point.
◉ Certificate of Waiver (CoW). Answer: Allows a Small Unmanned
Aircraft System (sUAS) operation to deviate from certain provisions
of Part 107 as long as the FAA finds that the proposed operation can
be safely conducted under the terms of that Certificate of Waiver.
◉ Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) Answer: Applies only
to public operators (government entities and organizations).
Permits nationwide flights in Class G airspace at or below 400 feet,
