Instrument meteorological conditions The U.S. air traffic service units use the phrase “IFR conditions.”
Level The U.S. uses “altitude” or “flight level” rather than “level” and “cruising altitude” rather than “cruising level.’’ The term “level” is not used to mean “height,” “altitude,” or “flight level.” The U.S. only uses flight level at FL 180 and above
Movement area In the U.S., the term “movement area” means “the runways, taxiways, and other areas of an airport/heliport which are utilized for taxiing, hover taxiing, air.taxiing, take.off and landing of aircraft, exclusive of loading ramps and parking areas. At those airport/heliports with a tower, specific approval for entry onto the movement area must be obtained from ATC.” The U.S. does not use an all.inclusive term to denote the movement area plus loading ramps and parking areas of an airport, nor does the U.S. use the term “maneuvering area’’ in any related context.
Repetitive flight plan (RPL) The U.S. uses the term “stored flight plan” for domestic operations.
Terminal control area In the U.S., “terminal control area” has been replaced by “Class B airspace/area.” Standard IFR services are provided to IFR aircraft operating in Class B airspace. Class B airspace CFR 14 part 71.41, exceeds TCA with more restrictive airman’s qualifications and aircraft certifications.
Total estimated elapsed time The U.S. uses “estimated time en route” for domestic operations.
Traffic Avoidance Advice The U.S. uses the term Traffic Advisory
Transition altitude In U.S. domestic airspace, “transition altitude,” “layer” and “level” are not used; however, in the U.S., flight levels begin at FL 180 where the reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury is used as the constant atmospheric pressure. Below FL 180, altitudes are based on barometric pressure readings. QNH and QFE altimeter settings are not provided in domestic U.S. airspace.
Visibility The U.S. defines Visibility as: The ability, as determined by atmospheric conditions and expressed in units of distance, to see and identify prominent unlighted objects by day and prominent lighted objects by night. Visibility is reported as statute miles, hundreds of feet, or meters. The U.S. identifies the following classes of visibility: Flight Visibility, Ground Visibility, Prevailing Visibility, Runway Visibility Value, and Runway Visual Range.
Visual meteorological conditions The U.S. air traffic service units use the phrase “VFR conditions.”
Chapter 2 Applicability of the Rules of the Air
2.2 See difference under “Movement area.”
2.5 Except in an emergency, no pilot of a civil aircraft may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated or who demonstrates by manner or physical indications that the individual is under the influence of drugs (except a medical patient under proper care) to be carried in that aircraft.
Chapter 3 General Rules
3.1.8 In addition, aircraft shall not be flown in formation flight when passengers are carried for hire.
3.2 Note See difference under “Movement area.”
3.2.2.6.1 See difference under “Movement area.”
3.2.3.2 d) The U.S. national regulations do not require aircraft on the movement area of an airport, whose engines are running, to display lights which indicate that fact from sunset to sunrise.
3.2.5 Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft within a Class B, C, or D surface area except for the purpose of landing at, or taking off from, an airport within that area. In addition, in the case of a helicopter approaching to land, avoid the flow of fixed.wing aircraft. In addition, no person may, within a Class B, C, or D surface area operate an aircraft to, from, or on an airport having a control tower operated by the U.S. unless two.way radio communications are maintained between that aircraft and the control tower.
3.3.1.2 In the U.S., ATC flight plans are not required for VFR flight in Class C, D, or E airspace.
3.3.1.2.1 d) Requirements pertaining to filing flight plans for flights operating across U.S. borders and for identification purposes are described in 14 CFR Part 9l (Section 91.84) and Part 99.
3.3.1.2.2 The U.S. requires that domestic flight plans be submitted at least 30 minutes before departure. For international flights, the U.S. recommends that they be transmitted so that they are received by ATC authorities in each Flight Information Region (FIR) to be entered, at least 2 hours prior to entry, unless otherwise provided in that State’s requirements.
