U.S.: When used in conjunction with ATC instructions, gives the pilot the latitude to delay compliance until a condition or event has been reconciled. Unlike “at pilot’s discretion”, when instructions are prefaced “when able”, the pilot is expected to seek the first opportunity to comply. Once a maneuver has been initiated, the pilot is expected to continue until the specifications of the instructions have been met.
Note: “When able” should not be used when expeditious compliance is required.

Un avion système de radionavigation qui détecte et indique la direction d'un émetteur au sol de LF/MF radiophare non directionnel (NDB). Direction est indiquée pour le pilote comme un palier magnétique ou un gisement relatif à l'axe longitudinal de l'avion selon le type d'indicateur installé dans l'avion. Dans certaines applications, comme militaire, opérations ADF peuvent reposer sur des émetteurs aéroportés et au sol dans le spectre VHF/UHF.

An aircraft radio navigation system that senses and indicates the direction to a LF/MF non-directional beacon (NDB) ground transmitter. Direction is indicated to the pilot as a magnetic bearing or as a relative bearing to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft depending on the type of indicator installed in the aircraft. In certain applications, such as military, ADF operations may be based on airborne and ground transmitters in the VHF/UHF spectrum.
