1. TRACON Terminal Radar Approach Control, where approach and departure controllers op-
erate from
2. VFR Sectional Visual Flight Rules Sectional Chart - shows geographical and man-made obstacles,
Chart certain airspace boundaries in the US, updated every 56 days. It's names for the
major city that it encompasses.
3. VFR Checkpoints Easily identifiable landmarks that are given a magenta flag and a name on the VFR
Sectional Chart
4. Airport Fuel Indicated with rectangular tick marks around the circle for an airport on a VFR
Sectional Chart
5. Pilotage Navigating by reference to visible landmarks
6. Latitude Parallel lines that run from East to the West, and are measured in degrees North
and South. These are like the rungs on a ladder. An example is the Equator.
7. Longitude Lines that run North to South and converge at the poles. An example is the Prime
Meridian and the International Date Line
8. Degrees The measurement of latitude or longitude that can be divided into 60 minutes (')
9. Maximum Eleva- This number shows the highest elevation in the quadrant, which would be cleared
tion Figure by at least 100ft for man-made objects, and cleared by 300ft for terrain (but does
not include trees)
10. Class A Airspace Airspace above Class E, from FL180 (18,000' MSL) to FL600 (60,000' MSL). Pilots
must be cleared to enter and are required to fly IFR.
11. Class B Airspace Controlled airspace around major/international airports, represented with solid
blue rings on a VFR Sectional Chart. This airspace has three shelves, extending up
to 10,000' MSL. Must be cleared to enter. 3SM visibility, clear of clouds

12. Class C Airspace Controlled airspace around medium sized airports, represented with solid magen-
ta rings on a VFR Sectional Chart. This airspace is 10nm in diameter with a 20nm
diameter shelf, extending up to 4000' AGL. Have radio/transponder requirements.
3SM visibility, 1000' above clouds, 500' below clouds, 2000' horizontal from clouds
13. Class D Airspace Controlled airspace around smaller airports, represented with blue dashed lines
on a VFR Sectional Chart. This airspace is 4-5nm in diameter (based on instruments
procedures for that airport) and go up to 2500ft AGL. Ceiling represented by a
2-digit MSL # in a box. 3SM visibility, 1000' above clouds, 500' below clouds, 2000'
horizontal from clouds
14. Class E Airspace Controlled airspace that is not Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class D. "E" = "Every-
where". Extends from 1,200' AGL (sometimes drops lower around Class E airports)
up to FL180. Represented by shaded magenta lines, or a dashed magenta line
when it extends down to the surface. Below 10k', VFR requirements are 3SM
visibility, 1000' above clouds, 500' below clouds, 2000' horizontal from clouds.
Above 10K', VFR requirements are 5SM visibility, 1SM horizontal from clouds, and
1,000' above or below clouds.
15. Class G Airspace Uncontrolled airspace, extending from surface up to controlled airspace above (at
most 14,500 ft MSL where Class E airspace begins). VFR minimums vary by altitude
and time of day.
16. Federal Aviation an agency within the Department of Transportation responsible for the oversight
Administration of civil aviation (commercial and general aviation) in the United States
17. aviation safety Freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness
or damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment
18. risk management The process that identifies hazards, assess the degree of risk, and determines the
best course of action
19. perceived risk judgement of the type and severity of risk
