GLIDEPATH-
(See GLIDESLOPE.)
GLIDEPATH [ICAO]- A descent profile determined for vertical guidance during a final approach.
GLIDEPATH INTERCEPT ALTITUDE-
(See GLIDESLOPE INTERCEPT ALTITUDE.)
GLIDESLOPE- Provides vertical guidance for aircraft during approach and landing. The glideslope/ glidepath is based on the following:
a..Electronic components emitting signals which provide vertical guidance by reference to airborne instruments during instrument approaches such as ILS/MLS, or
b.
Visual ground aids, such as VASI, which provide vertical guidance for a VFR approach or for the visual portion of an instrument approach and landing.
c..
PAR. Used by ATC to inform an aircraft making a PAR approach of its vertical position (elevation) relative to the descent profile.
(See ICAO term GLIDEPATH.)
GLIDESLOPE INTERCEPT ALTITUDE-The minimum altitude to intercept the glideslope/path on a precision approach. The intersection of the published intercept altitude with the glideslope/path, designated on Government charts by the lightning bolt symbol, is the precision FAF; however, when the approach chart shows an alternative lower glideslope intercept altitude, and ATC directs a lower altitude, the resultant lower intercept position is then the FAF.

APPROACH PROCEDURE.)
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)-A space‐base radio positioning, navigation, and time‐transfer system. The system provides highly accurate position and velocity information, and precise time, on a continuous global basis, to an unlimited number of properly equipped users. The system is unaffected by weather, and provides a worldwide common grid reference system. The GPS concept is predicated upon accurate and continuous knowledge of the spatial position of each satellite in the system with respect to time and distance from a transmitting satellite to the user. The GPS receiver automatically selects appropriate signals from the satellites in view and translates these into three‐dimensional position, velocity, and time. System accuracy for civil users is normally 100 meters horizontally.
GO AHEAD-Proceed with your message. Not to be used for any other purpose.
GO AROUND-Instructions for a pilot to abandon his/her approach to landing. Additional instructions may follow. Unless otherwise advised by ATC, a VFR aircraft or an aircraft conducting visual approach should overfly the runway while climbing to traffic pattern altitude and enter the traffic pattern via the crosswind leg. A pilot on an IFR flight plan making an instrument approach should execute the published missed approach procedure or proceed as instructed by ATC; e.g., “Go around” (additional instructions if required).

(See GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM.)
GRAPHIC PLAN DISPLAY (GPD)- A view available with URET that provides a graphic display of aircraft, traffic, and notification of predicted conflicts. Graphic routes for Current Plans and Trial Plans are displayed upon controller request.
