greater than 7000 feet clears all terrain by 2000 feet. A sector is an area bounded by a 1
o
latitude/longitude grid.
RAIM: Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring - A technique whereby a GPS receiver determines
the integrity of the GPS navigation signals by a consistency check among redundant pseudo range
measurements.
scrolling region: a set of consecutive cursor fields which display a portion of a scroll list; "scroll up"
means that the data item in each cursor field in the scrolling region moves to the preceding cursor
field. The data item in the first cursor field disappears from the page, and the last cursor field displays
the next item in the scroll list; "scroll down" is the opposite. If there is other data associated with the
data in the cursor fields (such as user waypoint numbers in flight plans), it also moves.
selected course: The angle, which the desired flight path makes with respect to true north at the
active user waypoint. Magnetic selected course uses the magnetic variation at the active user
waypoint; if the active user waypoint is a VOR, the magnetic variation stored for that VOR is used.
special use airspace: any of the following: prohibited area, restricted area, warning area, alert area,
MOA, Class CARSA, Class BTCA, unknown, danger, caution, training, CTA, or TMA type
standard rate turn: 3
°
/sec
tailwind: difference between ground speed and true airspeed when ground speed is more than true
airspeed
terminal user waypoints: user waypoints that are duplicated within a country code or "unnamed"
user waypoints associated with an approach that are assigned to distinct airports
time to user waypoint: distance to user waypoint divided by ground speed
track: angle of the aircraft's path over the ground measured clockwise relative to true or magnetic
north (true is implied unless magnetic is specified)
