When repeated three times, indicatesuncertainty or alert followed by the nature of theurgency.(See MAYDAY.)(Refer to AIM.)PAR−(See PRECISION APPROACH RADAR.)PAR [ICAO]−(See ICAO Term PRECISION APPROACHRADAR.)PARALLEL ILS APPROACHES− Approaches toparallel runways by IFR aircraft which, when establishedinbound toward the airport on the adjacentfinal approach courses, are radar-separated by at least2 miles.(See FINAL APPROACH COURSE.)(See SIMULTANEOUS ILS APPROACHES.)PARALLEL MLS APPROACHES−(See PARALLEL ILS APPROACHES.)PARALLEL OFFSET ROUTE− A parallel track tothe left or right of the designated or establishedairway/route. Normally associated with Area Navigation(RNAV) operations.(See AREA NAVIGATION.)PARALLEL RUNWAYS− Two or more runways atthe same airport whose centerlines are parallel. Inaddition to runway number, parallel runways aredesignated as L (left) and R (right) or, if three parallelrunways exist, L (left), C (center), and R (right).PBCT−(See PROPOSED BOUNDARY CROSSINGTIME.)PERMANENT ECHO− Radar signals reflected fromfixed objects on the earth’s surface; e.g., buildings,towers, terrain. Permanent echoes are distinguishedfrom “ground clutter” by being definable locationsrather than large areas. Under certain conditions theymay be used to check radar alignment.PHOTO RECONNAISSANCE− Military activitythat requires locating individual photo targets andnavigating to the targets at a preplanned angle andaltitude. The activity normally requires a lateral routewidth of 16 NM and altitude range of 1,500 feet to10,000 feet AGL.PIDP−(See PROGRAMMABLE INDICATOR DATAPROCESSOR.)PILOT BRIEFING− A service provided by the FSSto assist pilots in flight planning.

He/shemay temporarily level off at any intermediate altitude.However, once he/she has vacated an altitude,he/she may not return to that altitude.PIREP−(See PILOT WEATHER REPORT.)PITCH POINT− A fix/waypoint that serves as atransition point from a departure procedure or the lowaltitude ground−based navigation structure into thehigh altitude waypoint system.PLANS DISPLAY− A display available in URETthat provides detailed flight plan and predictedconflict information in textual format for requestedCurrent Plans and all Trial Plans.(See USER REQUEST EVALUATION TOOL.)POINT OUT−(See RADAR POINT OUT.)PCG P−1
