FAA-E-2943B, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION DESIGN STANDARD: NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM (NAS) VISUAL SPECIFICATION FOR AIRPORT SURFACE APPLICATIONS (VSASA) (27-MAR-2006)., The National Airspace System (NAS)Visual Specification for Airport Surface Applications (VSASA) is intended to define all of the visual and interactive aspects of surface surveillance systems that affect air traffic personnel. To that end, requirements in the VSASA have been guided by representatives of the air traffic community to ensure that the information that is displayed and the interactions that are required all contribute to helping air traffic personnel perform their jobs more effectively. As such, there are some terms that may be used to convey meanings not normally associated with those terms in other disciplines. Examples are words like coast and track. Please consult the glossary (see 6.2) for terms and their usage.
