- Definition
- A unique encoded designator for the terminal instrument procedure.
- Description
- The designator is used primarily by automated flight management systems as a primary key to search for, select, portray, and fly while on automatic pilot. This is also used to encode the full identifier into a short string of characters so it may be selected from an on-screen list of available procedures, without the need for the pilot to have to scroll through what at times can be a lengthly list of terminal instrument procedure identifications.
