When the following terms are used in this publication they have the following meanings:
For measured positional data, the accuracy is normally expressed in terms of a distance from a stated position within which there is a defined confidence of the true position falling.
Aerodrome beacon. Aeronautical beacon used to indicate the location of an aerodrome from the air. Aerodrome certificate. A certificate issued by the JCAA under applicable regulations for the operation of an aerodrome.
Aerodrome identification sign. A sign placed on an aerodrome to aid in identifying the aerodrome from the air.
Aerodrome reference point. The designated geographical location of an aerodrome.
Aerodrome traffic density.
Light. Where the number of movements in the mean busy hour is not greater than 15 per runway or typically less than 20 total aerodrome movements. Medium. Where the number of movements in the mean busy hour is of the order of 16 to 25 per runway or typically between 20 to 35 total aerodrome movements. Heavy. Where the number of movements in the mean busy hour is of the order of 26 or more per runway or typically more than 35 total aerodrome movements. The number of movements in the mean busy hour is the arithmetic mean over the year of the number of movements in the daily busiest hour.
Either a take-off or a landing constitutes a movement.
Aeronautical beacon. An aeronautical ground light visible at all azimuths, either continuously or intermittently, to designate a particular point on the surface of the earth.
Airplane reference field length. The minimum field length required for take-off at maximum certificated take-off mass, sea level, standard atmospheric conditions, still air and zero runway slope, as shown in the appropriate airplane flight manual prescribed by the certificating authority or equivalent data from the airplane manufacturer. Field length means balanced field length for airplanes, if applicable, or take-off distance in other cases. Attachment A, Section 2 of this publication provides information on the concept of balanced field length, and the ICAO Airworthiness Manual (Doc 9760) contains detailed guidance on matters related to take-off distance.
Aircraft classification number (ACN). A number expressing the relative effect of an aircraft on a pavement for a specified standard subgrade category. The aircraft classification number is calculated with respect to the center of gravity (CG) position which yields the critical loading on the critical gear. Normally the aftmost CG position appropriate to the maximum gross apron (ramp) mass is used to calculate the ACN. In exceptional cases the forwardmost CG position may result in the nose gear loading being more critical.
Airport. See aerodrome.
Balked Landing. A landing maneuver that is unexpectedly discontinued at any point below the obstacle clearance altitude/height (OCA/H).Barrette. Three or more aeronautical ground lights closely spaced in a transverse line so that from a distance they appear as a short bar of light.
Capacitor discharge light. A lamp in which high-intensity flashes of extremely short duration are produced by the discharge of electricity at high voltage through a gas enclosed in a tube.
Certified aerodrome. An aerodrome whose operator has been granted an aerodrome certificate.
Clearway. A defined rectangular area on the ground or water under the control of the appropriate authority, selected or prepared as a suitable area over which an airplane may make a portion of its initial climb to a specified height.
Convention. The Convention on International Civil Aviation, signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944, as amended, and it’s annexes.
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC). A mathematical algorithm applied to the digital expression of data that provides a level of assurance against loss or alteration of data. Data quality. A degree or level of confidence that the data provided meet the requirements of the data user in terms of accuracy, resolution and integrity.
Datum. Any quantity or set of quantities that may serve as a reference or basis for the calculation of other quantities (ISO 19104*).
De-icing/anti-icing facility. A facility where frost, ice or snow is removed (de-icing) from the airplane to provide clean surfaces, and/or where clean surfaces of the airplane receive protection (anti-icing) against the formation of frost or ice and accumulation of snow or slush for a limited period of time. Further guidance is given in the ICAO Manual of Aircraft Ground De-icing/Anti-icing Operations (Doc 9640).
De-icing/anti-icing pad. An area comprising an inner area for the parking of an airplane to receive de-icing/anti-icing treatment and an outer area for the maneuvering of two or more mobile de-icing/anti-icing equipment.
* All ISO standards are listed on page xxvi of this publication.

The length of the take-off run available plus the length of the stopway, if provided. Landing distance available (LDA). The length of runway which is declared available and suitable for the ground run of an airplane landing. Dependent parallel approaches. Simultaneous approaches to parallel or near-parallel instrument runways where radar separation minima between aircraft on adjacent extended runway center lines are prescribed.
Displaced threshold. A threshold not located at the extremity of a runway.
Effective intensity. The effective intensity of a flashing light is equal to the intensity of a fixed light of the same color which will produce the same visual range under identical conditions of observation.
Fixed light. A light having constant luminous intensity when observed from a fixed point.
Frangible object. An object of low mass designed to break, distort or yield on impact so as to present the minimum hazard to aircraft.
Guidance on design for frangibility is contained in the ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 6 (in preparation).
Geoid. The equipotential surface in the gravity field of the Earth which coincides with the undisturbed mean sea level (MSL) extended continuously through the continents. The geoid is irregular in shape because of local gravitational disturbances (wind tides, salinity, current, etc.) and the direction of gravity is perpendicular to the geoid at every point.
In respect to the World Geodetic System — 1984 (WGS-84) defined ellipsoid, the difference between the WGS-84 ellipsoidal height and orthometric height represents WGS-84 geoid undulation.
Gregorian calendar. Calendar in general use; first introduced in 1582 to define a year that more closely approximates the tropical year than the Julian calendar (ISO 19108*).
