Almanac data. Information the global positioning system
(GPS) receiver can obtain from one satellite which describes
the approximate orbital positioning of all satellites in the
constellation. This information is necessary for the GPS
receiver to know what satellites to look for in the sky at a
given time.
ALS. See approach lighting system.
Alternate airport. An airport designated in an IFR flight
plan, providing a suitable destination if a landing at the
intended airport becomes inadvisable.
Alternate static source valve. A valve in the instrument static
air system that supplies reference air pressure to the altimeter,
airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator if the normal
static pickup should become clogged or iced over.
Altimeter setting. Station pressure (the barometric pressure
at the location the reading is taken) which has been corrected
for the height of the station above sea level.
AME. See aviation medical examiner.
Amendment status. The circulation date and revision
number of an instrument approach procedure, printed above
the procedure identification.
Ammeter. An instrument installed in series with an electrical
load used to measure the amount of current flowing through
the load.
Aneroid. The sensitive component in an altimeter or
barometer that measures the absolute pressure of the air.
It is a sealed, flat capsule made of thin disks of corrugated
metal soldered together and evacuated by pumping all of
the air out of it.
Aneroid barometer. An instrument that measures the
absolute pressure of the atmosphere by balancing the weight
of the air above it against the spring action of the aneroid.
Angle of attack. The acute angle formed between the
chord line of an airfoil and the direction of the air striking
the airfoil.
Anti-ice. Preventing the accumulation of ice on an aircraft
structure via a system designed for that purpose.
Approach lighting system (ALS). Provides lights that will
penetrate the atmosphere far enough from touchdown to give
directional, distance, and glide path information for safe
transition from instrument to visual flight.
Area chart. Part of the low-altitude en route chart series,
this chart furnishes terminal data at a larger scale for
congested areas.
Area navigation (RNAV). Allows a pilot to fly a selected
course to a predetermined point without the need to overfly
ground-based navigation facilities, by using waypoints.
ARSR. See air route surveillance radar.
ARTCC. See air route traffic control center.
G-3
ASDE. See airport surface detection equipment.
ASOS. See automated surface observing station.
ASR. See airport surveillance radar.
ATC. Air Traffic Control.
ATCRBS. See air traffic control radar beacon system.
ATIS. See automatic terminal information service.
Atmospheric propagation delay. A bending of the
electromagnetic (EM) wave from the satellite that creates
an error in the GPS system.
Attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS). System
composed of three-axis sensors that provide heading, attitude,
and yaw information for aircraft. AHRS are designed to
replace traditional mechanical gyroscopic flight instruments
and provide superior reliability and accuracy.
Attitude director indicator (ADI). An aircraft attitude
indicator that incorporates flight command bars to provide
pitch and roll commands.
Attitude indicator. The foundation for all instrument flight,
this instrument reflects the airplane’s attitude in relation to
the horizon.
Attitude instrument flying. Controlling the aircraft by
reference to the instruments rather than by outside visual
cues.
Autokinesis. Nighttime visual illusion that a stationary light
is moving, which becomes apparent after several seconds of
staring at the light.
Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS).
Automated weather reporting system consisting of various
sensors, a processor, a computer-generated voice subsystem,
and a transmitter to broadcast weather data.
Automated Surface Observing Station (ASOS). Weather
reporting system which provides surface observations every
minute via digitized voice broadcasts and printed reports.
Automatic dependent surveillance–broadcast (ADS-B). A
device used in aircraft that repeatedly broadcasts a message
that includes position (such as latitude, longitude, and
altitude), velocity, and possibly other information.
Automatic direction finder (ADF). Electronic navigation
equipment that operates in the low- and medium-frequency
bands. Used in conjunction with the ground-based
nondirectional beacon (NDB), the instrument displays the
