2013年9月25日 · This AC provides standards for a system of airport marking consisting of certain pilot aids and traffic control devices. The Federal Aviation Administration is an operating mode of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Segmentation of the circle is necessary so that from a reasonable distance it can be readily distinguished from a solid circle, which is sometimes used to mark the center of a landing area. The segmented circle performs two functions; it aids the pilot in locating airports and it provides.

The segmented circle performs two functions; it aids the pilot in locating obscure airports and it provides a centralized location for such indicators and signal devices as may be required on a particular airport.

2022年4月2日 · Segmented circles are important for remote and smaller airports that do not support a sophisticated air traffic control system. It enables a uniform approach and, take-off paths to avoid collision and traffic conflict. An airport segmented circle is usually placed at the center of the airport so that it is visible to pilots from an adequate ...

a. Segmented Circle Airport Marker System. This provides for a minimum installation consisting of a segmented circle located OFF the traffic area with a conventional wind cone located at its center. To this minimum installation, other pilot aids and traffic control devices are added as required to meet the conditions existing at a particular ...

Abstract: This advisory circular (AC) sets forth the standards for a segmented circle airport marker system. This provides for a minimum installation consisting of a segmented circle located off the traffic area with a conventional wind cone located at its center.

This advisory circular (AC) sets forth standards for a system of airport marking consisting or certain pilot aids and traffic control devices.

2024年9月30日 · A segmented circle is a visual aid used at non-towered airports to help pilots understand the traffic patterns from above. Since non-towered airports don’t have air traffic controllers guiding flight operations, the segmented circle provides essential information during takeoffs and landings.

At those airports without an operating control tower, a segmented circle visual indicator system, if installed, (see AIM, Paragraph 4-1-9, Traffic Advisory Practices at Airports Without Operating Control Towers) is designed to provide traffic pattern information

The segmented circle system consists of the following components: The segmented circle. Located in a position affording maximum visibility to pilots in the air and on the ground and providing a centralized location for other elements of the system. The wind direction indicator.
