Appendix B: Glossary
Advisory Circular (AC) — A document that provides guidance, such as methods, procedures and practices acceptable to the administrator for complying with regulations and grant requirements. ACs may also contain explanations of regulations, other guidance material, best practices, or information useful to the aviation community. They do not create or change a regulatory requirement.
Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) — Radar-based surface detection system that provides automated alerts and warnings of potential runway incursions and other hazards. The system prompts air traffic controllers both visually and aurally to respond to events on the airfield that potentially compromise safety.
Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) — Surface detection technology that integrates data from various sources, including radars and aircraft transponders to provide controllers a more robust view of airport operations and enable them to detect potential runway conflicts by providing detailed coverage of movement on runways and taxiways. By collecting data from a variety of sources, ASDE-X is able to track vehicles and aircraft on the airport movement area and obtain identification information from aircraft transponders.
Air Traffic Safety Action Program (ATSAP) — A voluntary, non-punitive reporting program for employees of the FAA to openly report safety of flight concerns.
Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) — A voluntary reporting system designed to encourage voluntary reporting of safety issues and events that come to the attention of employees of certain certificate holders. To encourage an employee to voluntarily report safety issues even though they may involve an alleged violation of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), enforcement-related incentives have been designed into the program. An ASAP is based on a safety partnership that will include the FAA and the certificate holder, and may include any third party such as the employee’s labor organization.
