Aeronautical
Information
Manual (AIM) - answer The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is the FAA's official
guide to basic flight
information and Air traffic control (ATC) procedures. The AIM contains the basic
aeronautical knowledge information required to fly in the United States National
Airspace System.
AGL (Above
Ground Level) - answer Altitude expressed in feet measured above ground level.
Alert Area - answerIn aviation, AGL is a height above ground level and is measured with
respect to the
underlying ground surface. This is as opposed to altitude/elevation above mean sea
level
(MSL).
Alert Area - answerIn aviation, AGL is a height above ground level and is measured with
respect to the
underlying ground surface. This is as opposed to altitude/elevation above mean sea
level
(MSL).
Alert Area - answerAn area in which there is a high volume of pilot training or an
unusual type of aeronautical activity.
altimeter - answerAn altimeter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object
above a fixed
level.
ATC - answerAir traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based air traffic
controllers who
direct aircraft on the ground and through controlled airspace, and can provide advisory
services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is
to prevent collisions, organize and expedite the flow of air traffic, and provide
information and other support for pilots.
Chart Supplement
U.S. - answerThe Chart Supplement U.S. is a Civil Flight Information Publication
updated every eight
weeks by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, and
Aeronautical Information Services. Formerly called the Airport/Facility Directory, it
contains all public-use airports, seaplane bases and heliports, military facilities, and
selected private use facilities specifically requested by the Department of Defense
(DoD).
Additionally, this publication contains communications data, navigational facilities and
certain special notices and procedures.
