PIREP- (See PILOT WEATHER REPORT.)  PITCH POINT- A fix/waypoint that serves as a  transition point from a departure procedure or the low  altitude ground-based navigation structure into the  high altitude waypoint system.  PLANS DISPLAY- A display available in EDST  that provides detailed flight plan and predicted  conflict information in textual format for requested  Current Plans and all Trial Plans.  (See EN ROUTE DECISION SUPPORT TOOL)  POFZ- (See PRECISION OBSTACLE FREE ZONE.)  POINT OUT- (See RADAR POINT OUT.)  POINT-TO-POINT (PTP)- A level of NRR service  for aircraft that is based on traditional waypoints in  their FMSs or RNAV equipage.  POLAR TRACK STRUCTURE- A system of  organized routes between Iceland and Alaska which  overlie Canadian MNPS Airspace.  POSITION REPORT- A report over a known  location as transmitted by an aircraft to ATC.  (Refer to AIM.)  POSITION SYMBOL- A computer-generated  indication shown on a radar display to indicate the  mode of tracking.  POSITIVE CONTROL- The separation of all air  traffic within designated airspace by air traffic  control.  PRACTICE INSTRUMENT APPROACH- An  instrument approach procedure conducted by a VFR  or an IFR aircraft for the purpose of pilot training or  proficiency demonstrations.  PRE-DEPARTURE CLEARANCE- An application  with the Terminal Data Link System (TDLS) that  provides clearance information to subscribers,  through a service provider, in text to the cockpit or  gate printer.  PREARRANGED COORDINATION- A standard- ized procedure which permits an air traffic controller  to enter the airspace assigned to another air traffic  controller without verbal coordination. The proce- dures are defined in a facility directive which ensures  approved separation between aircraft.  PRECISION APPROACH RADAR- Radar equip- ment in some ATC facilities operated by the FAA  and/or the military services at joint-use civil/military  locations and separate military installations to detect  and display azimuth, elevation, and range of aircraft  on the final approach course to a runway. This  equipment may be used to monitor certain non-radar  approaches, but is primarily used to conduct a  precision instrument approach (PAR) wherein the  controller issues guidance instructions to the pilot  based on the aircraft's position in relation to the final  approach course (azimuth), the glidepath (elevation),  (See INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM.)  (See PRECISION APPROACH RADAR.)  PRECISION APPROACH PROCEDURE- A  standard instrument approach procedure in which an  electronic glideslope or other type of glidepath is  provided; e.g., ILS, PAR, and GLS.  PRECISION APPROACH- (See PRECISION APPROACH PROCEDURE.)  (Refer to AC 00-45, Aviation Weather Services.)  PREARRANGED COORDINATION PROCE- DURES- A facility's standardized procedure that  describes the process by which one controller shall  allow an aircraft to penetrate or transit another  controller's airspace in a manner that assures  approved separation without individual coordination  for each aircraft.  PRECIPITATION- Any or all forms of water  particles (rain, sleet, hail, or snow) that fall from the  atmosphere and reach the surface.  PRECIPITATION RADAR WEATHER DESCRIP- TIONS- Existing radar systems cannot detect  turbulence. However, there is a direct correlation  between the degree of turbulence and other weather  features associated with thunderstorms and the  weather radar precipitation intensity. Controllers will  issue (where capable) precipitation intensity as  observed by radar when using weather and radar  processor (WARP) or NAS ground-based digital  radars with weather capabilities. When precipitation  intensity information is not available, the intensity  will be described as UNKNOWN. When intensity  levels can be determined, they shall be described as:  8/15/19 1/30/20  Pilot/Controller Glossary Pilot/Controller Glossary  a.  LIGHT (< 26 dBZ)  b.  MODERATE (26 to 40 dBZ)  c.
