It is prescribed and approved for a specific airport by competent authority.\n\nInstrument flight rules  (IFR) means rules governing the procedures for conducting flight under instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) instrument flight.\n\nInstrument landing system  (ILS) means an instrument landing system whereby the pilot guides his approach to a runway solely by reference to instruments in the cockpit. In some instances, the signals received from the ground can be fed into the automatic pilot for automatically controlled approaches.\n\nInstrument meteorological conditions  (IMC) means weather conditions below the minimums prescribed for flight under Visual Flight Rules (VFR).\n\nInstrument operation  means an aircraft operation in accordance with an IFT flight plan or an operation where IFR separation between aircraft is provided by a terminal control facility or air route traffic control center (ARTCC).\n\nLife cycle benefits  means the value of services provided to aviation users over the life span of a facility or service.\n\nLife cycle costs  means the value of research and development costs, investment costs, operation costs, maintenance costs, and termination costs over the life span of a facility or service.\n\nMaintenance costs  means the costs incurred in servicing and maintaining a facility after establishment.\n\nMean sea level  (MSL) means the base commonly used in measuring altitudes.\n\nMicrowave landing system  (MLS) means a landing system which enables equipped aircraft to make curved and closely spaced approaches to properly instrumented airports.\n\nNoncommercial traffic  means all aircraft operations that are conducted free of compensation.\n\nNonprecision approach procedure  means an FAA standard for approaching an IFR runway where no electronic glide slope is available.\n\nNonscheduled commercial service  means the carriage by aircraft in air commerce of persons or property for compensation or hire that are not operated in regularly scheduled service such as charter flights.\n\nPresent value  (PV) means the value of a stream of future benefits or costs that are discounted to the present.\n\nPVB  or  BPV  means the discounted value of life cycle benefits.\n\nPVC  or  CPV  means the discounted value of life cycle benefits.\n\nPVCM  or  CMPV  means the discounted value of operations and maintenance costs less termination costs over a facility's remaining life cycle.\n\nRunway  means a defined rectangular area on a land airport prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft along its length.\n\nRunway visual range  means an instrumentally derived value based on standard calibrations that represent the horizontal distance a pilot will see down the runway from the approach end.\n\nScheduled commercial service  means the carriage by aircraft in air commerce under parts 121 and 135 of persons or property for compensation or hire based on published flight schedules.\n\nSeparation  means the spacing of aircraft in flight and while landing and taking off to achieve their safe and orderly movement.\n\nTakeoff clearance  means authorization by an airport traffic control tower for an aircraft to take off.\n\nTower cab  means an ATC facility located at an airport. Controllers at these facilities direct ground traffic, takeoffs, and landings.\n\nTraffic advisories  means advisories issued to alert pilots to other known or observed air traffic which may be in such proximity to the position or intended route of flight of their aircraft to warrant attention.\n\nTraffic pattern  means the flow of aircraft operating on and in the vicinity of an airport during specified wind conditions as established by appropriate authority.\n\nVFR traffic  means aircraft operated solely in accordance with Visual Flight Rules.\n\nVisual flight rules  (VFR) means rules that govern the procedures for conducting flight under visual conditions. The term \u201cVFR\u201d is also used in the United States to indicate weather conditions that are equal to or greater than minimum VFR requirements. In addition, \u201cVFR\u201d is used by pilots and controllers to indicate the type of flight plan.\n\nVisual meteorological conditions  (VMC) means meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance from clouds, and ceiling equal to or better than specified minima."], ["14:14:3.0.1.4.32.2.3.1", 14, "Aeronautics and Space", "I", "J", "170", "PART 170\u2014ESTABLISHMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE CRITERIA FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES AND NAVIGATIONAL FACILITIES", "B", "Subpart B\u2014Airport Traffic Control Towers", "", "\u00a7 170.11 Scope.", "FAA", "", "", "", "This subpart sets forth establishment and discontinuance criteria for Airport Traffic Control Towers."], ["14:14:3.0.1.4.32.2.3.2", 14, "Aeronautics and Space", "I", "J", "170", "PART 170\u2014ESTABLISHMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE CRITERIA FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES AND NAVIGATIONAL FACILITIES", "B", "Subpart B\u2014Airport Traffic Control Towers", "", "\u00a7 170.13 Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) establishment criteria.", "FAA", "", "", "", "(a) The following criteria along with general facility establishment standards must be met before an airport can qualify for an ATCT:\n\n(1) The airport, whether publicly or privately owned, must be open to and available for use by the public as defined in the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982;\n\n(2) The airport must be recognized by and contained within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems;\n\n(3) The airport owners/authorities must have entered into appropriate assurances and covenants to guarantee that the airport will continue in operation for a long enough period to permit the amortization of the ATCT investment;\n\n(4) The FAA must be furnished appropriate land without cost for construction of the ATCT; and\n\n(5) The airport must meet the benefit-cost ratio criteria specified herein utilizing three consecutive FAA annual counts and projections of future traffic during the expected life of the tower facility.
