Taxi-holding position In the U.S., “taxi into position and hold” means taxi onto the departure runway in take-off position and hold while the ICAO “taxi-holding position” or “taxi-holding point” is a designated position that provides adequate clearance from a runway.
Terminal control area In the U.S., the term “terminal control area” has been replaced by “Class B airspace.” Standard IFR services should be provided to IFR aircraft operating in Class B airspace.
Time U.S. when uses “Time” for ATC operational activities, is the hour and the minute in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Change to the next minute is made at the minute plus 30 seconds, except time checks are given to the nearest quarter minute
Track The U.S. uses the term “course” instead of “track.”
Transition altitude, transition layer, and transition level In U.S. domestic airspace, transition altitude, layer, and level are not used. U.S. flight levels begin at FL 180 where a barometric altimeter setting of 29.92 inches of mercury is used as the constant atmospheric pressure. Below FL 180, altitudes are based on barometric pressure readings.
Visibility Definitions are different.
Visual Approach In the U.S., aircrews may execute visual approaches when the pilot has either the airport or the preceding aircraft in sight and is instructed to follow it.
Will U.S. uses “Will” means futurity, not a requirement for the application of a procedure.

U.S. flight levels begin at FL180 where a barometric altimeter setting 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.
