Terms for subject Aviation (1801 entries)

Quiet Supersonic Technology	QueSST	Michae­lBurov
QueSST	quiet supersonic transport	Michae­lBurov
radar	A radio detection device that provides information on range, azimuth or elevation of objects. There are two types of radar: primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR)
radar advisory	The provision of advice and information based on radar observations
radar approach	An approach executed by an aircraft under the direction of a radar controller
radar control service	The control of aircraft through the provision of radar vectors in order to establish required separation and/or desired spacing between aircraft, and between aircraft and obstacles
radar echo	The electromagnetic energy received after reflection from an object
radar echo	The deflection or change of intensity produced by a radar echo on a cathode ray tube display
radar environment	An area in which radar service may be provided
radar flight following	The observation of the progress of radar-identified aircraft, the primary navigation of which is being provided by the pilot, wherein the controller retains and correlates the aircraft identity with the appropriate target or target symbol displayed on the radar scope
radar handoff	The process of transferring radar identification of an aircraft from one controller to another without interrupting radar service
radar identification	The process of ascertaining that a particular target is the radar echo from a specific aircraft
radar monitoring	The use of radar for the purpose of providing aircraft with information and advice relating to significant deviations from the nominal flight path
radar navigational assistance	The provision of position information, vectors, or track and ground speed checks
RADAR REQUIRED	Annotation used on an instrument approach chart to indicate that the procedure turn may have been eliminated and that the initial approach portion of the procedure is being provided by ATC vectors. Without ATC vectoring, the instrument approach procedure (IAP) may not have a published initial approach.
radar return	The electromagnetic energy received after reflection from an object
radar return	The deflection or change of intensity produced by a radar echo on a cathode ray tube display
radar route	A flight path or route over which an aircraft is vectored. Navigational guidance and altitude assignments are provided by ATC.
radar separation	The spacing of aircraft in accordance with established minima, based on information derived from radar sources
radar service	A service, provided directly by means of radar, that includes radar advisory, radar control service, radar monitoring, radar navigational assistance and radar separation
