FSS - (See Flight Service Station)
FUEL DUMPING - Airborne release of usable fuel. This does not include the dropping of fuel tanks. (See Jettisoning of External Stores)
FUEL REMAINING - A phrase used by either pilots or controllers when relating to the fuel remaining on board until actual fuel exhaustion. When transmitting such information in response to either a controller question or pilot initiated cautionary advisory to Air Traffic Control, pilots will state the approximate number of minutes the flight can continue with the fuel remaining. All reserve fuel should be included in the time stated, as should an allowance for established fuel gauge system error.
FUEL SIPHONING/FUEL VENTING - Unintentional release of fuel caused by overflow, puncture, loose cap, etc.
GATE HOLD PROCEDURES - Procedures at selected airports to hold aircraft at the gate or other ground location whenever departure delays exceed or are anticipated to exceed 15 minutes. The sequence for departure will be maintained in accordance with initial call up unless modified by Flow Control restrictions. Pilots should monitor the ground control/clearance delivery frequency for engine startup advisories or new proposed start time if the delay changes. (See Flow Control)
GENERAL AIR TRAFFIC, EUROPE AND AFRICA (EUROCONTROL AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION PUBLICATION) - Traffic that can file an instrument flight plan, follow Air Traffic Control instructions, communicate with the Air Traffic Control elements concerned and has the necessary equipment to follow the prescribed route.
NOTE: In France, the term "General Air Traffic" applies to both the lower airspace (Flight Information Region) and upper airspace (Upper Flight Information Region).
GENERAL AVIATION (P/CG) - That portion of civil aviation which encompasses all facets of aviation except air carriers holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Civil Aeronautics Board, and large aircraft commercial operators.
GENERAL AVIATION (ICAO) - All civil aviation operations other than scheduled air service and nonscheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire.
GENERAL AVIATION DISTRICT OFFICE-GADO - A Federal Aviation Administration field office serving a designated geographical area, staffed with Flight Standards personnel, who have responsibility for serving the aviation industry and the general public on all matters relating to the certification and operation of general aviation aircraft.
GLIDE PATH (ICAO) - A descent profile determined for vertical guidance during a final approach.
GLIDESLOPE/GLIDEPATH - Provides vertical guidance for aircraft during approach and landing. The Glide Slope/Glide Path is based on the following:
(1)
Electronic components emitting signals which provide vertical guidance by reference to airborne instruments during instrument approaches such as Instrument Landing System/Microwave Landing System or
(2)
Visual ground aids, such as Visual Approach Slope Indicator's, which provide vertical guidance for VFR approach or for the visual portion of an instrument approach and landing.
(3)
PAR (ON/ABOVE/BELOW) - Used by Air Traffic Control to inform an aircraft making a Precision Approach Radar approach of its vertical position (elevation) relative to the descent profile. The terms "slightly" and "well" are used to describe the degrees of deviation; e.g., "slightly above Glide Path.” Trend information is also issued with respect to the elevation of the aircraft and may be modified by the terms “rapidly” and “slowly;” e.g., “well above Glide Path, coming down rapidly.” (See Precision Approach Radar/PAR)
GLIDESLOPE/GLIDEPATH INTERCEPT ALTITUDE - The minimum altitude to intercept the glide slope/path on a precision approach. The intersection of the published intercept altitude with the glide slope/path, designated on government charts by the lightning bolt symbol, is the precision Final Approach Fix; however, when Air Traffic Control directs a lower altitude, the resultant lower intercept position is then the Final Approach Fix. (See Final Approach Fix, Segments of an Instrument Approach Procedure)
