• Precision approach radar — (PAR) is a type of radar guidance system designed to provide lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft pilot for landing, until the missed approach point is reached. Controllers monitoring the PAR displays observe each aircraft s position and… …   Wikipedia

• precision approach radar — Primary radar equipment used to determine the position of an aircraft during final approach, in terms of lateral and vertical deviations relative to a nominal approach path, and in range relative to touch down (ICAO). The system is basically a… …   Aviation dictionary

• precision approach — An approach in which range, azimuth, and glide slope information are provided to the pilot. This information may be provided by a pilot interpreted aid, such as ILS (instrument landing system), or given by a ground controller, as in a GCA (ground …   Aviation dictionary

• precision runway monitor — Provides air traffic controllers with high precision secondary surveillance data for aircraft on final approach to parallel runways that have extended centerlines separated by less than 4300 ft. The final monitor aid (FMA) is a high resolution… …   Aviation dictionary

• Instrument approach — Terminal procedures for an ILS approach in the United States. (The disclaimers shown in red in the illustration do not appear on the original approach plate.) For aircraft operating under instrument flight rules (IFR), an instrument approach or… …   Wikipedia

• Ground-controlled approach — In aviation a ground controlled approach (GCA), is a type of service provided by air traffic controllers whereby they guide aircraft to a safe landing in adverse weather conditions based on radar images. Most commonly a GCA uses information from… …   Wikipedia

• Surveillance radar approach — A Surveillance Radar Approach (SRA or ASR) is an aviation term for a type of instrument approach provided with active assistance from Air Traffic Control during the final approach phase. It requires no special equipment in addition to a standard… …   Wikipedia

• surveillance approach — An instrument approach in which a radar controller provides navigational guidance in azimuth only. The airport surveillance radar (ASR) furnishes the pilot headings to fly to align the aircraft with the extended centerline of the landing runway.… …   Aviation dictionary

• radar approach — An approach, executed by an aircraft, under the direction of a radar controller (ICAO). The procedure utilizes precision approach radar (PAR), airport surveillance radar (ASR), or surveillance radar element (SRE). See precision approach radar …   Aviation dictionary

• final controller — The radar controller assigned to pass information and guidance during the precision approach radar (PAR) and airport surveillance radar approaches, utilizing radar equipment. This controller also passes monitoring information to pilots not using… …   Aviation dictionary

• specific-approach funnel — The funnel extending about 0.5° above and below the glide path and +/− 2° of the PAR (precision approach radar) centerline within which an aircraft is not advised by the PAR controller monitoring the ILS (instrument landing system) approach. If… …   Aviation dictionary
