This is leading to an increase in complexity that makes the current state of global air traffic surveillance no longer viable. Over 70% of the world’s surface is still not covered by traditional surveillance platforms, like primary or secondary radars, therefore a game changing approach to surveillance is required to push thousands more aircraft across the skies.

ANN's Daily Aero-Term (03.18.19): Flameout Pattern

Flameout Pattern An approach normally conducted by a single-engine military aircraft experiencing loss or anticipating loss of engine power or control. The standard overhead approach starts at a relatively high altitude over a runway (“high key”) followed by a continuous 180 degree turn to a high, wide position (“low key”) followed by a continuous 180 degree turn final. The standard straight-in pattern starts at a point that results in a straight-in approach with a high rate of descent to the runway. Flameout approaches terminate in the type approach requested by the pilot (normally fullstop).
