- Aircraft on ground
Aircraft on Ground AOG is a term in aviation maintenance indicating that a problem is serious enough to prevent an aircraft from flying. Generally there is a rush to acquire the parts to put the aircraft A C back into service, and prevent further delays or cancellations of the planned itinerary. AOG applies to any aviation materials or Spare parts management spare parts that are needed immediately for an aircraft to return to service. AOG suppliers refer qualified personnel and dispatch the parts required to repair the aircraft for an immediate return to service. AOG also is used to describe critical shipments for parts or materials for aircraft out of service or OTS at a location. Mitigation of AOG status When an aircraft goes AOG and materials required are not on hand, parts and personnel must be driven, flown, or sailed to the location of the grounded A C . Usually the problem is escalated through an internal AOG Desk, then the Manufacturer s AOG Desk, and finally competitors AOG desks. All major air carriers have an AOG Desk . This desk is manned 24 7 by personnel trained in purchasing, hazardous materials shipping, and parts manufacturing acquisition processes. AOG personnel are trained to loan or borrow spare parts from other air carriers, per FAA EASA etc regulations. AOG personnel work in conjunction with their carriers maintenance operations department, supporting aircraft maintenance with all parts or material requests very rapidly. There are two ways of achieving this by local engineering support or by support flown out base.

- Aircraft vectoring
Orphan date December 2009 Aircraft vectoring is the term given to a navigation service provided to aircraft by air traffic control . The controller decides on a particular pattern for the aircraft to fly, composed of specific legs or vectors. The aircraft then follows this pattern when the controller instructs the pilot to fly specific headings at appropriate times. Vectoring is used to separate aircraft by a specified distance, to aid the navigation of flights, and to guide arriving aircraft to a position from which they can continue their approach to land under the guidance of an approach procedure published by the FAA . Vectoring is the provision of navigational guidance to aircraft in the form of specific headings, based on the use of an ATS surveillance system. Aircraft may be vectored to apply ATS surveillance system separation achieve an expeditious flow of aircraft maximise use of available airspace comply with noise abatement procedures avoid areas of known hazardous weather or known severe turbulence. adjust the arrival sequence establish the aircraft on final approach track of a pilot interpreted approach maneouvre an aircraft into a suitable position below cloud near an aerodrome for a visual approach and landing. The nature of Terminal area operations means that vectoring plays a significant part in the way controllers process traffic.
