, 1.DEFINITIONS & FORMULAS
• Aerodrome A defined area on land or water (including any buildings,
installations, and equipment) intended for use either wholly or in part for the
arrival, departure, and surface movement of aircraft.
• Minimum equipment list (MEL) A list providing for the operation of aircraft,
subject to specified conditions, with particular equipment inoperative, prepared
by an operator in conformity with, or more restrictive than, the MMEL established
for the aircraft type.
• Minimum descent altitude (MDA) or minimum descent height (MDH) A specified
altitude or height in a non-precision approach or circling approach below which
descent must not be made without the required visual reference.
• Obstacle clearance altitude (OCA) or obstacle clearance height (OCH) The lowest
altitude, or the lowest height, above the elevation of the relevant runway
threshold or the aerodrome elevation, as applicable, for establishing compliance
with appropriate obstacle clearance criteria.
• Operational control The exercise of authority over the initiation, continuation,
diversion, or termination of a flight in the interest of the safety of the aircraft and
the regularity and efficiency of the flight.
• Operational flight plan The operator’s plan for the safe conduct of the flight
based on considerations of aeroplane performance, other operating limitations
and relevant expected conditions on the route to be followed and at the relevant
aerodromes.
