Terms for subject Aviation (2593 entries)

en route clearance	A clearance covering the flight path of an aircraft after takeoff to the point at which an approach to land is expected to commence
en route descent	Descent from the en route cruising altitude
en route flight advisory service	A service specifically designed to provide, upon pilot request, timely weather information pertinent to his/her type of flight, intended route of flight, and altitude. The FSSs providing this service are listed in the Airport/Facility Directory.
en-route alternate	An aerodrome at which an aircraft would be able to land after experiencing an abnormal or emergency condition while en route.
en-route alternate aerodrome	An aerodrome at which an aircraft would be able to land after experiencing an abnormal or emergency condition while en route
en-route climb performance	The climb (or descent) performance with the aeroplane in the en-route configuration with: (a) the critical power-unit inoperative; and (b) the critical two power-unit inoperative in the case of aeroplanes having three or more power-units
en-route phase	That part of the flight from the end of the take-off and initial climb phase to the commencement of the approach and landing phase.
end exercise point	The point at which an aircraft is no longer classified as faker
engine thrust	eng thrust
engine thrust	eng thrust
engineered material arresting system	A soft ground arrestor system, located beyond the end of the runway and centred on the extended runway centreline, that deforms under the weight of an aircraft, bringing it to a safe stop in the event of an overrun without structural damage to the aircraft or injury to its occupants
entry fix	The first reporting point over which an aircraft passes or is expected to pass upon entering a flight information region (FIR) or control area
ERP Balls	Eye Reference Point Balls	iwona
error management	The process of detecting and responding to errors with countermeasures that reduce or eliminate the consequences of errors, and mitigate the probability of further errors or undesired states.
established holding area	A holding area that has been predetermined by the unit responsible for the airspace concerned
estimate	The time, in UTC, at which an IFR aircraft is calculated, by either the controller, the pilot or through automated means, to arrive over a significant point
estimated departure time	The estimated time at which an aircraft will become airborne
estimated elapsed time	The estimated time required to proceed from one significant point to another
estimated elapsed time	The estimated time required to proceed from one significant point to another.
estimated landing time	An aircraft’s threshold-crossing estimate based on the addition of a control estimate for the metering fix and the predetermined time required to traverse a standard projected flight path from the metering fix to the threshold
