VERIFY- Request confirmation of information; e.g., "verify assigned altitude."
VISUAL APPROACH- An approach conducted on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight
plan which authorizes the pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to the airport. The
pilot must, at all times, have either the airport or the preceding aircraft in sight. This approach
must be authorized and under the control of the appropriate air traffic control facility.
Reported weather at the airport must be ceiling at or above 1,000 feet and visibility of 3 miles
or greater.
VOR- A ground-based electronic navigation aid transmitting very high frequency navigation
signals, 360 degrees in azimuth, oriented from magnetic north. Used as the basis for
navigation in the National Airspace System. The VOR periodically identifies itself by Morse
Code and may have an additional voice identification feature. Voice features may be used by
ATC or FSS for transmitting instructions/information to pilots.
VORTAC- A navigation aid providing VOR azimuth, TACAN azimuth, and TACAN
distance measuring equipment (DME) at one site.
WHEN ABLE- When used in conjunction with ATC instructions, gives the pilot the latitude
to delay compliance until a condition or event has been reconciled. Unlike "pilot discretion,"
when instructions are prefaced "when able," the pilot is expected to seek the first opportunity
to comply. Once a maneuver has been initiated, the pilot is expected to continue until the
specifications of the instructions have been met. "When able," should not be used when
expeditious compliance is required.
