Group with wingspan range of 118 ft to 171 ft (36m to 52m): Large aircraft.
Minimum wingspan for Group V: 28.5m.

Aircraft Speed Categories

Category of aircraft with speed between 121 knots and less than 141 knots: Light aircraft.

Aircraft Identification

Aircraft group number for an aircraft with a wingspan of 30.10m: Group IV.
Term for large aircraft with a wingspan of more than 65m: Heavy aircraft.

Risk and Safety Classifications

Risk classification for aircraft proximity potentially compromising safety: Risk of collision.

Airspace and Traffic Services

Term for airspace with available air traffic advisory service: Controlled airspace.
Purpose of an aerodrome control tower: To manage aircraft movements on the ground and in the vicinity of the aerodrome.

Aerodrome and Flight Terminology

Aerodrome elevation refers to the highest point of the landing area; useful for calculating altitudes for takeoff and landing.
ADS contract: An agreement for the provision of Automatic Dependent Surveillance.
Definition of acrobatic flight: Maneuvers involving intentional extreme attitudes or performance not necessary for normal flight.

Visual References and Services

Definition of adequate visual reference (ADEQUATE VIS REF): Sufficient landmarks or features outside the aircraft for safe navigation.
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast): Surveillance technology allowing aircraft to determine their position and broadcast it periodically.

Traffic Management Terms

Definition of aerodrome traffic circuit: A pattern flown by aircraft in the vicinity of an aerodrome for takeoff and landing.
Purpose of an aerodrome traffic frequency (ATF): To facilitate communication between pilots and air traffic services operating at the aerodrome.
Definition of an aerodrome traffic zone (ATZ): An airspace designated around an aerodrome for the purpose of protecting aircraft operating in the vicinity.
Definition of an aeronautical fixed service (AFS): A service consisting of all fixed telecommunications facilities used to support aeronautical operations.
