Today's Terms
Maintain runway heading
Definition:
Means that you should maintain the compass alignment of the departure runway, not track the extended runway centerline.
Night Landing Illusions
Definition:
Landing illusions occur in many forms. Above featureless terrain at night, there is a natural tendency to fly a lower-than-normal approach. Elements that cause any type of visual obscuration, such as rain, haze, or a dark runway environment also can cause low approaches.
Taxi to
Definition:
In the absence of holding instructions, a clearance to “taxi to” any point other than an assigned takeoff runway is a clearance to cross all runways that intersect the taxi route to that point. It does not include authorization to taxi onto or cross the assigned takeoff runway at any point.
