8/15/19  Pilot/Controller Glossary  F  FIELD ELEVATION- (See AIRPORT ELEVATION.)  FAF- (See FINAL APPROACH FIX.)  FALLEN HERO– Remains of fallen members of the  United States military are often returned home by  aircraft. These flights may be identified with the  phrase “FALLEN HERO” added to the remarks  section of the flight plan, or they may be transmitted  via air/ground communications. If able, these flights  will receive priority handling.  FAST FILE- An FSS system whereby a pilot files a  flight plan via telephone that is recorded and later  transcribed for transmission to the appropriate air  traffic facility. (Alaska only.)  FILED- Normally used in conjunction with flight  plans, meaning a flight plan has been submitted to  ATC.  FILED EN ROUTE DELAY- Any of the following  preplanned delays at points/areas along the route of  flight which require special flight plan filing and  handling techniques.  a.  Terminal Area Delay. A delay within a terminal  area for touch-and-go, low approach, or other  terminal area activity.  b.  Special Use Airspace Delay. A delay within a  Military Operations Area, Restricted Area, Warning  Area, or ATC Assigned Airspace.  c.  Aerial Refueling Delay. A delay within an  Aerial Refueling Track or Anchor.  FILED FLIGHT PLAN- The flight plan as filed with  an ATS unit by the pilot or his/her designated  representative without any subsequent changes or  clearances.  FINAL- Commonly used to mean that an aircraft is  on the final approach course or is aligned with a  landing area.  FEATHERED PROPELLER- A propeller whose  blades have been rotated so that the leading and  trailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraft  flight path to stop or minimize drag and engine  rotation. Normally used to indicate shutdown of a  reciprocating or turboprop engine due to malfunc- tion.  FAWP- Final Approach Waypoint  FCLT- (See FREEZE CALCULATED LANDING TIME.)  FEDERAL AIRWAYS- (See LOW ALTITUDE AIRWAY STRUCTURE.)  (See INSTRUMENT APPROACH  PROCEDURE.)  FEEDER FIX- The fix depicted on Instrument  Approach Procedure Charts which establishes the  starting point of the feeder route.  FEEDER ROUTE- A route depicted on instrument  approach procedure charts to designate routes for  aircraft to proceed from the en route structure to the  initial approach fix (IAF).  FERRY FLIGHT- A flight for the purpose of:  a.  Returning an aircraft to base.  b.  Delivering an aircraft from one location to  another.  c.  Moving an aircraft to and from a maintenance  base. Ferry flights, under certain conditions, may be  conducted under terms of a special flight permit.  FINAL APPROACH COURSE- A bearing/radial/  track of an instrument approach leading to a runway  or an extended runway centerline all without regard  to distance.  b.  At the point of interception of the last track  specified in the approach procedure; and ends at a  point in the vicinity of an aerodrome from which:  a.  At the end of the last procedure turn, base turn  or inbound turn of a racetrack procedure, if specified;  or  FINAL APPROACH [ICAO]- That part of an  instrument approach procedure which commences at  the specified final approach fix or point, or where  such a fix or point is not specified.  (See FINAL APPROACH COURSE.)  (See FINAL APPROACH-IFR.)  (See SEGMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENT  APPROACH PROCEDURE.)  1.  A landing can be made; or  2.  A missed approach procedure is initiated.  PCG F-1
