Terms for subject Aviation (1895 entries)

RNAV SID	An IFR ATC departure procedure coded in an aircraft FMS database and published in graphic and textual form for use by aircraft that are appropriately equipped and authorized
RNAV specification	A navigation specification based on area navigation that does not include the requirement for performance monitoring and alerting, designated by the prefix RNAV, e.g. RNAV 5, RNAV 1.
RNAV STAR	An IFR ATC arrival procedure coded in an aircraft FMS database and published in graphic and textual form for use by aircraft that are appropriately equipped and authorized
RNPC airspace	As geographically delineated in the Designated Airspace Handbook (DAH) controlled airspace within the Canadian Domestic Airspace (CDA) designated for area navigation (RNAV) operations. Only aircraft certified as meeting the required navigation performance capability (RNPC) are permitted to operate on published, high level fixed RNAV routes or receive improved ATC separation minimums based on RNPC. Certification is dependent upon crew training and navigation equipment that permits position determination within ± 4 NM.
road-holding position marking	A marking provided at all road entrances to a runway at the holding position and in accordance with the local traffic regulations
rocket	A projectile that contains its own propellant and that depends for its flight upon the reaction resulting from the release of a continuous jet of rapidly expanding gases
Rockeye	CBU with armor-piercing capability
Roger	Ready for departure	geseb
rolling scissors	A series of rolling maneuvers in which each of two opposing aircraft is attempting to roll to his opponent's 6 o'clock
rolling takeoff	An expression used by ATC to indicate that the pilot is expected to taxi onto the runway and take off in one continuous movement
rollout RVR	The RVR readout values obtained from RVR equipment located nearest the rollout end of the runway
Rosaeronavigatsia	Federal Aeronavigation Service	Michae­lBurov
Rosaeronavigatsia	Federal Air Navigation Service	Michae­lBurov
Rosaviatsiya	Federal Air Transport Agency	Michae­lBurov
rotation point	The location along a runway where an aircraft is brought to the flying attitude as takeoff speed is reached
rotorcraft	A power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft supported in flight by the reactions of the air on one or more rotors
route description	The unambiguous delineation of a route in terms of an ordered sequence of ATS route designators or significant points
route segment	A part of a route, each end of which is identified by (a) a continental or insular geographical location; or (b) a point at which a definite radio fix can be established
RSC report	Section of the Aircraft Movement Surface Condition Report (AMSCR) which provides runway surface information using a verbal description of the runway condition
RSC/CRFI NOTAM	A NOTAM disseminated to alert pilots to natural winter surface contaminants such as snow, slush, and ice conditions that could affect aircraft braking and other operational performance. Such NOTAMs are considered special series NOTAMs that, because of their short life and significant volume during the winter season, require non-standard handling. Note 1 : This term is derived from the words "Runway Surface Condition/Canadian Runway Friction Index NOTAM." Note 2: This NOTAM may also be issued by a military ATC unit as an RSC/JBI NOTAM.
