Term
Definition
Final Control
A control position in CATCC or AATCC that controls aircraft on final
approach during Case III until transfer of control to the Landing
Signal Officer (LSO) or the aircraft reaches approach weather
minimums. It also entails when aircraft reach VMC on amphibious
ships.
Flight Level
Pressure altitude expressed in hundreds of feet determined by
setting 29.92 in the aircraft pressure altimeter, e.g., FL 230 equals
23,000 feet pressure altitude
FOX CORPEN
Ship s true heading during flight operations
Instrument Carrier
A precision approach in which precise and continuous position error
Landing System
and range information from the ILM and TACAN is displayed in an
(ICLS) Approach
aircraft enabling a manually controlled precision approach to
appropriate minimums
Inbound Bearing
The magnetic heading assigned to pilots who descend directly to
the carrier. It may be, but is not necessarily, the final bearing. For
amphibious operations, it s the magnetic bearing assigned to pilots
descending directly to the ship. It may be, but is not necessarily, the
BRC.
Inbound Heading
The magnetic heading assigned by CATCC/AATCC that will ensure
interception of the final bearing (Carriers/BRC (LHA/LHD) at a
specific distance from the ship
ILM
Provides glide slope and azimuth information with ARA-63/SPN-41.
Components are the AN/SPN-41 (shipboard) or AN/TRN-28 (shore),
and the AN/ARA-63 or AN/ARN-138 (airborne).
Jetborne Flight
Very slow speed flight supported by engine thrust only for fixed wing
aircraft
Kilo Report
A pilot-coded report indicating aircraft mission readiness
Landing Force
The officer designated in the initiating directive to command the
Commander
landing force
(CLF)
Marshal
A bearing, distance, and altitude fix designated by CATCC or
AATCC that the pilots will orient holding and that the initial approach
will commence
11-5
