 WHAT IT USE FOR ?
This glossary provides definitions that are unique
and abbreviations commonly used in Jeppesen
publications.

No attempt has been made to list all the terms of

basic aeronautical nomenclature.

Because of the international nature of flying,terms

used by the FAA (USA) are included when they differ
from ICAO definitions. An arrow or vertical bar, that
is omitted on all new pages, tables of contents,
tabular listings and graphics, indicates changes.

1. Aircraft Approach Category (USA TERPS)
A group of aircraft based on a speed of Vref
, if specified, or if Vref is not specified,
1.3Vso, at the maximum certificated landing
weight. Vref , Vso, and the maximum
certificated landing weight are those values a
established for the aircraft by the certification
authority of the country of registry.

2. Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS)
A surveillance technique, in which
aircraft automatically provide, via a data
link, data derived from on-board navigation
and position fixing system, including
aircraft identification, four-dimensional
position and additional data as appropriate.
3. Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA)
This is an altitude derived by Jeppesen.The
MORA provides known obstruction
clearance 10NM either side of the route
centerline including a 10NM radius beyond
the radio fix reporting or mileage break
defining the route segment. For terrain and
man-made structure clearance refer to Grid
MORA.
 4. Mountainous Area (ICAO)
An area of changing terrain profile
where the changes of terrain elevation
exceed 3000 ft within a distance of 10 NM.
 Grid Minimum Off-Route Altitude
(Grid MORA)
Jeppesen:
1000’ clearance where the highest elevation ≦ 5000’ MSL
2000’ clearance where the highest elevation > 5000’ MSL
USA:
2000’ clearance in mountainous areas
1000’ clearance in non-mountainous areas
Minimum IFR Altitude:
2000’ clearance within horizontal distance of 4 NM in mountainous areas
1000’ clearance within horizontal distance of 4 NM in non-mountainous areas

Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA):

1000’ obstacle clearance within a 25 NM radius from the navi facility
5. Procedure Altitudes
Are recommend altitudes developed in
coordination with ATC requirements to
accommodate a stabilized decent profile on
a prescribed descent angle on the final
approach course and sometimes also in the
intermediate approach segment. Procedure
altitudes are never less than segment
minimum safe altitude.
6. Standard Instrument Arrival (STAR)
A designated instrument flight rule
(IFR) arrival route linking a significant
point, normally on an ATS route, with a
point from which a published instrument
approach procedure can be commenced.
7. Standard Instrument Departure (SID)

A designated instrument flight rule

(IFR) departure route linking the aerodrome
or a specified runway of the aerodrome with
a specified point, normally on a designated
ATS route, at which the en route phase of a
flight commences.
