An IFR clearance not yet received after filing a flight plan.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest allowed altitude at certain fixes an aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum en route altitude (MEA).
Industry:Aviation
Airspeed equivalent to CAS in standard atmosphere at sea level. As the airspeed and pressure altitude increase, the CAS becomes higher than it should be, and a correction for compression must be subtracted from the CAS.
Industry:Aviation
A weather product derived from the national radar network that graphically displays a summary of radar weather reports.
Industry:Aviation
Used by ATC, the time at which the departure clearance is automatically cancelled if takeoff has not been made. The pilot must obtain a new clearance or cancel the IFR flight plan if not off by the specified time.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest altitude (in feet MSL) to which descent is authorised on final approach, or during circle-to-land manoeuvring in execution of a nonprecision approach.
Industry:Aviation
Using less power than required for the purpose of achieving a faster rate of airspeed change.
Industry:Aviation
The transformation of a liquid to a gaseous state, such as the change of water to water vapor.
Industry:Aviation
A report issued by radar stations at 35 minutes after the hour, and special reports as needed. Provides information on the type, intensity, and location of the echo tops of the precipitation.
Industry:Aviation
The point on the total drag curve where the lift-to-drag ratio is the greatest. At this speed, total drag is minimized.
