2/19/04Pilot/Controller GlossaryFFAF−(See FINAL APPROACH FIX.)FAST FILE− A system whereby a pilot files a flightplan via telephone that is tape recorded and thentranscribed for transmission to the appropriate airtraffic facility. Locations having a fast file capabilityare contained in the Airport/Facility Directory.(Refer to AIM.)FAWP− Final Approach WaypointFCLT−(See FREEZE CALCULATED LANDING TIME.)FEATHERED PROPELLER− A propeller whoseblades have been rotated so that the leading andtrailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraftflight path to stop or minimize drag and enginerotation. Normally used to indicate shutdown of areciprocating or turboprop engine due to malfunction.FEDERAL AIRWAYS−(See LOW ALTITUDE AIRWAY STRUCTURE.)FEEDER FIX− The fix depicted on InstrumentApproach Procedure Charts which establishes thestarting point of the feeder route.FEEDER ROUTE− A route depicted on instrumentapproach procedure charts to designate routes foraircraft to proceed from the en route structure to theinitial approach fix (IAF).(See INSTRUMENT APPROACHPROCEDURE.)FERRY FLIGHT− A flight for the purpose of:a. Returning an aircraft to base.b. Delivering an aircraft from one location toanother.c. Moving an aircraft to and from a maintenancebase.− Ferry flights, under certain conditions, may beconducted under terms of a special flight permit.FIELD ELEVATION−(See AIRPORT ELEVATION.)FILED− Normally used in conjunction with flightplans, meaning a flight plan has been submitted toATC.FILED EN ROUTE DELAY− Any of the followingpreplanned delays at points/areas along the route offlight which require special flight plan filing andhandling techniques.a.

At the end of the last procedure turn, base turnor inbound turn of a racetrack procedure, if specified;orb. At the point of interception of the last trackspecified in the approach procedure; and ends at apoint in the vicinity of an aerodrome from which:1. A landing can be made; or2. A missed approach procedure is initiated.FINAL APPROACH COURSE− A bearing/radial/track of an instrument approach leading to a runwayor an extended runway centerline all without regardto distance.FINAL APPROACH FIX− The fix from which thefinal approach (IFR) to an airport is executed andwhich identifies the beginning of the final approachsegment. It is designated on Government charts bythe Maltese Cross symbol for nonprecisionPCG F−1
