The lowest altitude at which an airway intersection can be determined.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest altitude prescribed for a holding pattern which assures navigational signal coverage and communications and meets obstacle clearance requirements.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest altitude which may be used under emergency conditions which will provide a minimum clearance of 300 m (1,000 feet) above all obstacles located in an area contained within a sector of a circle of 46 km (25 NM) radius centered on a radio aid to navigation.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest compression ratio of a compression-ignition engine that allows a specific fuel to be ignited by compression ignition.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest level at which condensation will occur as a result of convection due to surface heating.
When condensation occurs at this level, the layer between the surface and the CCL will be thoroughly mixed, the temperature lapse rate will be dry adiabatic (3°C per 1,000 feet), and the mixing ratio will be constant.

Industry:Aviation
The lowest MSL altitude at which an IFR aircraft will be vectored by a radar controller, except as otherwise authorized for radar approaches, departures, and missed approaches.
The altitude meets IFR obstacle clearance criteria, and it may be lower than the published minimum en route altitude (MEA) along an airway or J-route segment. It may be utilized for radar vectoring only upon the controller’s determination that an adequate radar return is being received from the aircraft being controlled. Charts depicting minimum vectoring altitudes are normally available only to the controllers and not to pilots.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest part of an aircraft structure in which water and contaminants collect, and corrosion is likely to form. The area under the cabin floor is normally called the bilge.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest published altitude between radio fixes which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.
The MEA prescribed for a federal airway or segment thereof, area navigation low or high route, or other direct route applies to the entire width of the airway, segment, or route between the radio fixes defining that airway, segment, or route.
Industry:Aviation
The lowest published altitude in effect between radio fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments which meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment and which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 25 statute (22 nautical) miles of a VOR.
