Aero-Terms!
Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms,
names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that
populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed
wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.
Aero-Terms should serve as a quick but intriguing reminder of
the terms you may use every day, or an introduction to an aspects
of the Aero-World you may not yet be familiar with. ANN also
encourages readers to go beyond the FMI link, and further research
any intriguing terms.
Suggestions for future Aero-Terms are ALWAYS
welcome, as are additions or discussion of the
explanations given for each Aero-Term.
Outer Area (associated with
Class C airspace)
Nonregulatory airspace surrounding designated Class C airspace
airports wherein ATC provides radar vectoring and sequencing on a
full-time basis for all IFR and participating VFR aircraft. The
service provided in the outer area is called Class C service which
includes: IFR/IFR-standard IFR separation; IFR/VFR-traffic
advisories and conflict resolution; and VFR/VFR-traffic advisories
and, as appropriate, safety alerts. The normal radius will be 20
nautical miles with some variations based on site-specific
requirements. The outer area extends outward from the primary Class
C airspace airport and extends from the lower limits of radar/radio
coverage up to the ceiling of the approach control's delegated
airspace excluding the Class C charted area and other airspace as
appropriate.
