| air traffic management |
A management concept aimed at ensuring full utilization of ATC systems, according to the possibilities offered by future air navigation systems, as they evolve, from both a national and an international perspective |
|
| air traffic service |
A service that includes ATC service, flight services and alerting service |
|
| air-ground communication |
Two-way communication between aircraft and stations or locations on the surface of the earth |
|
| air-taxiing |
Movement of a helicopter (VTOL) above the surface of an aerodrome, normally in ground effect and at a ground speed normally less than 37 km/h (20 kt) Note ICAO: The actual height may vary, and some helicopters may require air-taxiing above 8 m (25 ft) AGL to reduce ground effect turbulence or provide clearance for cargo slingloads. |
|
| AIRAC Canada |
A type of notice issued weekly by the aeronautical information service (AIS) to provide producers of aeronautical information with advance notification concerning changes within the Canadian Domestic Airspace (CDA) and any other airspace in respect of which Canada has the responsibility for the provision of ATC service |
|
| airborne collision avoidance system |
An aircraft system based on secondary surveillance radar (SSR) transponder signals which operates independently of ground-based equipment to provide advice to the pilot on potential conflicting aircraft that are equipped with SSR transponders |

| airborne warning and control system |
An airborne radar unit used as an extension of a military radar unit during operations, planned exercises and daily training missions |
|
| aircraft |
Any machine, including a rocket, capable of deriving support in the atmosphere from reactions of the air. • abbreviations: A/C and ACFT |
|
| aircraft |
Flying machines and guided missiles that derive their lift in flight chiefly from aerodynamic forces, and flying devices that are supported chiefly by their buoyancy in air, including any aeroplane, balloon, kite balloon, airship, glider or kite |
|
| aircraft |

| aircraft accident |
An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which, in the case of a manned aircraft, takes place between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons have disembarked, or in the case of an unmanned aircraft, takes place between the time the aircraft is ready to move with the purpose of flight until such time as it comes to rest at the end of the flight and the primary propulsion system is shut down, in which (a) a person is fatally or seriously injured as a result of (i) being in the aircraft, or (ii) direct contact with any part of the aircraft, including parts that have become detached from the aircraft, or (iii) direct exposure to jet blast, except when the injuries are the result of natural causes, are self- inflicted or are inflicted by other persons, or when the injuries are to stowaways hiding outside the areas normally available to the passengers and crew; or (b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure that (i) adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and (ii) would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component, except for engine failure or damage, when the damage is limited to a single engine, its cowlings or accessories; or for damage limited to propellers, wing tips, antennas, probes, vanes, tires, brakes, wheels, fairings, panels, landing gear doors, windscreen, the aircraft skin (such as small dents or puncture holes) or for minor damages to main rotor blades, tail rotor blades, landing gear, and those resulting from hail or bird strike (including holes in the radome) or (c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. Note 1 : For statistical uniformity only, an injury resulting in death within 30 days of the date of the accident is classified as a fatal injury by ICAO. Note 2: An aircraft is considered to be missing when the official search has been terminated and the wreckage has not been located. |

| aircraft approach category |
The grouping of aircraft based on speed. The categories are as follows: (a) Category A—speed up to 90 kt; (b) Category B—speed of 91 to 120 kt; (c) Category C—speed of 121 to 140 kt; (d) Category D—speed of 141 to 165 kt; and (e) Category E—speed above 165 kt. |
|
| aircraft arresting cable |
That portion of an aircraft arresting system which spans the runway surface or flight deck landing area and is engaged by the aircraft arresting hook. Note 1 : The commonly used term in Canadian civil aviation documents is arrester cable. Note 2: The Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) contains relevant information on the type and location of arrester cables and precautionary measures. |

| aircraft arresting gear |
A device used to engage hook equipped aircraft to absorb the forward momentum of a routine or emergency landing, or aborted take-off |
|
| aircraft arresting hook |
A device fitted to an aircraft to engage arresting gear |
|
| aircraft arresting system |
A series of devices used to stop an aircraft by absorbing its momentum in a routine or emergency landing or aborted take-off |
