The turn rate of 3° per second normally used by aircraft operating at less than 250 kt.
Industry:Aviation
An approach path indicator system consisting of four light units situated on the left side of the runway (on both sides of the runway, in the case of the military) in the form of a wing bar. The aircraft is on slope if the two units nearest the runway show red and the two units furthest from the runway show white, too high if all units show white, and too low if all units show red. A PAPI can be situated so as to provide three types of eye-to-wheel height (EWH): P1 (10 ft), P2 (25 ft) and P3 (45 ft).

The turn rate of 1.5° per second normally used by aircraft operating at approximately 250 kt or more.

A NOTAM disseminated to alert pilots to natural winter surface contaminants such as snow, slush, and ice conditions that could affect aircraft braking and other operational performance. Such NOTAMs are considered special series NOTAMs that, because of their short life and significant volume during the winter season, require non-standard handling.
Note 1: This term is derived from the words "Runway Surface Condition/Canadian Runway Friction Index NOTAM."
Note 2: This NOTAM may also be issued by a military ATC unit as an RSC/JBI NOTAM.

A runway adequate for instrument approach down to a decision height (DH) lower than 250 ft, but not lower than 200 ft, above height above aerodrome (HAA) or height above touchdown (HAT) and in operating visibility not less than 0.5 SM or runway visual range (RVR) 2600 ft.
Industry:Aviation
A runway adequate for instrument approach down to a decision height (DH) lower than 200 ft, but not lower than 100 ft, above height above aerodrome (HAA) or height above touchdown (HAT) and in operating visibility not less than runway visual range (RVR) 1200 ft.
