Pilot/Controller Glossary 2/19/04approaches and the lightning bolt symbol for precisionapproaches; or when ATC directs a lower-thanpublishedglideslope/path intercept altitude, it is theresultant actual point of the glideslope/path intercept.(See FINAL APPROACH POINT.)(See GLIDESLOPE INTERCEPT ALTITUDE.)(See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENTAPPROACH PROCEDURE.)FINAL APPROACH-IFR− The flight path of anaircraft which is inbound to an airport on a finalinstrument approach course, beginning at the finalapproach fix or point and extending to the airport orthe point where a circle-to-land maneuver or a missedapproach is executed.(See FINAL APPROACH COURSE.)(See FINAL APPROACH FIX.)(See FINAL APPROACH POINT.)(See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENTAPPROACH PROCEDURE.)(See ICAO term FINAL APPROACH.)FINAL APPROACH POINT− The point, applicableonly to a nonprecision approach with no depictedFAF (such as an on airport VOR), where the aircraftis established inbound on the final approach coursefrom the procedure turn and where the final approachdescent may be commenced. The FAP serves as theFAF and identifies the beginning of the finalapproach segment.(See FINAL APPROACH FIX.)(See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENTAPPROACH PROCEDURE.)FINAL APPROACH SEGMENT−(See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENTAPPROACH PROCEDURE.)FINAL APPROACH SEGMENT [ICAO]− Thatsegment of an instrument approach procedure inwhich alignment and descent for landing are accomplished.FINAL CONTROLLER− The controller providinginformation and final approach guidance during PARand ASR approaches utilizing radar equipment.(See RADAR APPROACH.)FINAL GUARD SERVICE− A value added serviceprovided in conjunction with LAA/RAA only duringperiods of significant and fast changing weatherconditions that may affect landing and takeoffoperations.FINAL MONITOR AID− A high resolution colordisplay that is equipped with the controller alertsystem hardware/software which is used in theprecision runway monitor (PRM) system. The displayincludes alert algorithms providing the targetpredictors, a color change alert when a targetpenetrates or is predicted to penetrate the no transgressionzone (NTZ), a color change alert if theaircraft transponder becomes inoperative, synthesizedvoice alerts, digital mapping, and like featurescontained in the PRM system.(See RADAR APPROACH.)FINAL MONITOR CONTROLLER− Air TrafficControl Specialist assigned to radar monitor theflight path of aircraft during simultaneous paralleland simultaneous close parallel ILS approach operations.Each runway is assigned a final monitorcontroller during simultaneous parallel and simultaneousclose parallel ILS approaches. Final monitorcontrollers shall utilize the Precision Runway Monitor(PRM) system during simultaneous close parallelILS approaches.FIR−(See FLIGHT INFORMATION REGION.)FIRST TIER CENTER− The ARTCC immediatelyadjacent to the impacted center.FIX− A geographical position determined by visualreference to the surface, by reference to one or moreradio NAVAIDs, by celestial plotting, or by anothernavigational device.FIX BALANCING− A process whereby aircraft areevenly distributed over several available arrival fixesreducing delays and controller workload.FLAG− A warning device incorporated in certainairborne navigation and flight instruments indicatingthat:a. Instruments are inoperative or otherwise notoperating satisfactorily, orb. Signal strength or quality of the received signalfalls below acceptable values.FLAG ALARM−(See FLAG.)FLAMEOUT− An emergency condition caused by aloss of engine power.FLAMEOUT PATTERN− An approach normallyconducted by a single-engine military aircraft experiencingloss or anticipating loss of engine power orPCG F−2
