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.
LAADR Low Altitude Alternate Departure
Routes
LAADR is a procedure whereby flight altitudes may be limited to
flight level 230 and below. LAADR procedures are primarily used in
the departure phase of flight, but can be extended for an entire
flight when operational benefits are achieved. This enables more
aircraft to transit a specific locale without increasing complexity
and congestion at the higher altitudes. MOU's between the specific
air route traffic control centers and airline participants must be
concluded identifying training requirements and procedures to be
implemented. Agreements reached at the local level on LAADR must be
briefed to all parties involved (controllers, pilots and
dispatchers). Participants greatly benefit from having common
situational awareness. Pilots have been briefed not to request
higher altitudes when utilizing this procedure. Notification and
implementation of LAADR procedures, via the ATCSCC Advisory System,
provide dispatchers and system users the ability to accurately plan
resources and fuel requirements.
