Domestic Air Defense Identification Zone. AnADIZ within the United States along an internationalboundary of the United States.b. Coastal Air Defense Identification Zone. AnADIZ over the coastal waters of the United States.c. Distant Early Warning Identification Zone (DE-WIZ). An ADIZ over the coastal waters of the Stateof Alaska.d. Land−Based Air Defense Identification Zone.An ADIZ over U.S. metropolitan areas, which isactivated and deactivated as needed, with dimensions,activation dates and other relevant informationdisseminated via NOTAM.Note: ADIZ locations and operating and flight planrequirements for civil aircraft operations arespecified in 14 CFR Part 99.(Refer to AIM.)AIR NAVIGATION FACILITY− Any facility usedin, available for use in, or designed for use in, aid ofair navigation, including landing areas, lights, anyapparatus or equipment for disseminating weatherinformation, for signaling, for radio-directional finding,or for radio or other electrical communication,and any other structure or mechanism having asimilar purpose for guiding or controlling flight in theair or the landing and takeoff of aircraft.(See NAVIGATIONAL AID.)AIR ROUTE SURVEILLANCE RADAR− Air routetraffic control center (ARTCC) radar used primarilyto detect and display an aircraft’s position while enroute between terminal areas. The ARSR enablescontrollers to provide radar air traffic control servicewhen aircraft are within the ARSR coverage. In someinstances, ARSR may enable an ARTCC to provideterminal radar services similar to but usually morelimited than those provided by a radar approachcontrol.AIR ROUTE TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER− Afacility established to provide air traffic controlservice to aircraft operating on IFR flight planswithin controlled airspace and principally during theen route phase of flight. When equipment capabilitiesand controller workload permit, certain advisory/assistanceservices may be provided to VFR aircraft.(See EN ROUTE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLSERVICES.)(See NAS STAGE A.)(Refer to AIM.)AIR TAXI− Used to describe a helicopter/VTOLaircraft movement conducted above the surface butnormally not above 100 feet AGL. The aircraft mayproceed either via hover taxi or flight at speeds morethan 20 knots. The pilot is solely responsible forselecting a safe airspeed/altitude for the operationbeing conducted.(See HOVER TAXI.)(Refer to AIM.)AIR TRAFFIC− Aircraft operating in the air or on anairport surface, exclusive of loading ramps andparking areas.(See ICAO term AIR TRAFFIC.)AIR TRAFFIC [ICAO]− All aircraft in flight oroperating on the maneuvering area of an aerodrome.AIR TRAFFIC CLEARANCE− An authorization byair traffic control for the purpose of preventingcollision between known aircraft, for an aircraft toPCG A−4
