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
When 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.
