FCL.010 GM2 Definitions - lateral and vertical navigation
Lateral and vertical navigation guidance refers to the guidance provided either by:
(a) a ground-based radio navigation aid; or
(b) computer-generated navigation data from ground-based, space-based, self-contained
navigation aids or a combination of these
FCL.010 GM3 Definitions
UPSET PREVENTION AND RECOVERY TRAINING (UPRT) DEFINITIONS
In the context of UPRT, the following abbreviations apply to the Acceptable Means of Compliance and
Guidance Material to Part-FCL:
‘Advanced UPRT’ refers to the advanced UPRT course in accordance with point FCL.745.A.
‘Aeroplane upset’ refers to an undesired aircraft state characterised by unintentional divergences from
parameters normally experienced during operations. An aeroplane upset may involve pitch and/or bank
angle divergences as well as inappropriate airspeeds for the conditions.
‘Angle of Attack (AoA)’ refers to the angle between the oncoming air, or relative wind, and a defined
reference line on the aeroplane or wing.
‘Approach-to-stall’ refers to flight conditions bordered by the stall warning and stall.
‘Basic UPRT’ refers to the UPRT elements and exercises integrated into training courses for the issue
of a CPL, MPL or Phases 1 to 3 of the integrated ATP course.
‘Developed upset’ refers to a condition meeting the definition of an aeroplane upset.
‘Developing upset’ refers to any time the aeroplane begins to unintentionally diverge from the intended
flight path or airspeed.
‘Energy state’ refers to how much of each kind of energy (kinetic, potential or chemical) the aeroplane
has available at any given time.
‘First indication of a stall’ refers to the initial aural, tactile or visual sign of a stall event which can be
either naturally or synthetically induced.
‘Flight crew resilience’ refers to the ability of a flight crew member to recognise, absorb and adapt to
disruptions.
