| light gun |
A hand-held directional light signalling device that emits a brilliant, narrow beam of white, green or red light, as selected by the tower controller. The light gun is used as an alternate means of communication for controlling traffic operating in the vicinity of the airport and on the airport movement area. |
|
| light icing |
An atmospheric condition in which the rate of ice accumulation may create a problem if flight is prolonged in this environment for over one hour |
|
| light turbulence |
Turbulence that momentarily causes slight, erratic changes in altitude or attitude (this could be reported as "light turbulence") or turbulence that causes slight, rapid and somewhat rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable changes in altitude or attitude |
|
| lighter-than-air aircraft |
An aircraft supported in the atmosphere by its buoyancy |
|
| limited weather information system |
An automated weather system that produces an hourly report containing wind speed and direction, temperature, dew point, and altimeter setting |
|
| Line Maintenance Breakdown Part |
Sub-component of an LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) which may be replaced without removing the LRU from the aircraft. Depending on its complexity, an LMP can be repairable or expendable. |

| local area augmentation system |
An augmentation system used to meet precision approach CAT I, CAT II and CAT III accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability requirements. • see also : wide area augmentation system |
|
| local traffic |
Aircraft operating in the aerodrome traffic circuit or within sight of an ATS unit; aircraft known to be departing for or arriving from flight in local practice areas; or aircraft executing simulated approaches at the aerodrome |
|
| localizer |
The component of an instrument landing system (ILS) that provides lateral guidance with respect to the runway centreline |
|
| localizer deviation |
Horizontal deviation from the ILS beam |
|
| localizer performance with vertical guidance |
The label to denote minima lines associated with APV-I or APV-II performance on approach charts. " see also: approach procedure with vertical guidance (APV) barometric vertical navigation (baro-VNAV) lateral navigation (LNAV) localizer performance without vertical guidance (LP) and vertical navigation |
|
| localizer performance without vertical guidance |
A non-precision approach requiring WAAS, using a final approach segment (FAS) data block that computes, displays and provides horizontal approach navigation using the horizontal accuracy and integrity of LPV without approved vertical guidance. (baro-VNAV) lateral navigation (LNAV) localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) and |
|
| localizer type directional aid |
A NAVAID which is used for nonprecision [s/c] instrument approaches with utility and accuracy comparable to a localizer but which is not a part of a complete instrument landing system (ILS) and is not aligned with the runway |
|
| localizer usable distance |
The maximum distance from the localizer transmitter at a specified altitude, as verified by flight inspection, at which reliable course information is continously received |
