CHAPTER 3 DEFINITIONS ETC.

3.01 Definitions etc.

       (1) In this instrument:

(a) approval means approval in writing by CASA, unless the contrary intention appears; and

Note   Various other words and expressions used in this MOS have the same meaning as in the CASR Dictionary.

       (2) In this instrument:

AAIS means automatic aerodrome information service.

accelerate-stop distance available (ASDA) is the length of the take-off run available (TORA) plus the length of any stopway (SWY).

Note 1   ASDA = TORA + SWY.

Note 2   Any available clearway (CWY) or runway end safety area (RESA) is not included.

Act means the Civil Aviation Act 1988.

ADS-B means automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast.

AEP means aerodrome emergency plan.

aerodrome has the same meaning as in the Act.

aerodrome beacon means an aeronautical beacon used to indicate the location of an aerodrome from the air.

aerodrome elevation means the elevation of the highest point of the landing area.

aerodrome facility means any of the following physical things at an aerodrome as mentioned in this MOS for an aerodrome:

(a) the physical characteristics of any movement area including runways, taxiways, taxilanes, shoulders, aprons, primary and secondary parking positions, runway strips and taxiway strips;

(b) infrastructure;

(c) structures;

(d) equipment;

(e) earthing points;

(f) cables;

Note 2   The expression aerodrome facilities and equipment is defined in the CASR Dictionary. The different expression aerodrome facility is defined in this MOS and has a different meaning.

aerodrome frequency confirmation system means a system which:

(a) responds automatically when a radio transmission is broadcast on an assigned aerodrome frequency; and

(b) is used to confirm that the correct aerodrome frequency has been selected on the air‑band radio.

aerodrome layout is the number of runways, taxiways and aprons at an aerodrome that are provided with lighting, in 1 of the following categories of aerodrome:

(a) basic — an aerodrome with 1 runway, with 1 taxiway to 1 apron area;

(b) simple — an aerodrome with 1 runway, having more than 1 taxiway to 1
