ENPLANED PASSENGERS. The total number of revenue passengers boarding aircraft, including originating, stop-over, and transfer passengers, in scheduled and non-scheduled services. FINAL APPROACH. A flight path in the direction of landing along the extended runway centerline. The final approach normally extends from the base leg to the runway. See Traffic Pattern FIXED BASE OPERATOR (FBO). An FBO typically offers the following services (or a combination thereof): aircraft charter operation, aircraft rental, aircraft storage, flight training, aircraft sales/leasing, aircraft component maintenance, aircraft parts sales, and aircraft maintenance. FRANGIBLE NAVAID. A navigational aid which retains its structural integrity and stiffness up to a designated maximum load, but on impact from a greater load, breaks, distorts, or yields in such a manner as to present the minimum hazard to aircraft. GENERAL AVIATION. That portion of civil aviation that encompasses all facets of aviation except air carriers holding a certificate of convenience and necessity, and large aircraft commercial operators. GLIDE SLOPE (GS). Provides vertical guidance for aircraft during approach and landing. The glide slope consists of 1) electronic components emitting signals which provide vertical guidance by reference to airborne instruments during instrument approaches such as ILS; or 2) visual ground aids, such as VASI, which provide vertical guidance for VFR approach or for the visual portion of an instrument approach and landing. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS). A system of 24 satellites used as reference points to enable navigators equipped with GPS receivers to determine their latitude, longitude and altitude. HELIPAD. A designated area for the takeoff, landing and parking of helicopters. HIGH-SPEED EXIT TAXIWAY. A long radius taxiway designed to expedite aircraft turning off the runway after land (at speeds up to 60 knots), thus reducing runway occupancy time. INSTRUMENT APPROACH. A series of predetermined maneuvers for the orderly transfer of an aircraft under instrument flight conditions from the beginning of the initial approach to a landing or to a point from which a landing may be made visually. |
