Vocabulary: Diversions & Holding

Flashcards on this page

This page includes a 15-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:

• divert (v.) — To change destination in flight and land at a different airport because of an emergency, weather or another problem.
• alternate — The back-up airport named in the flight plan that the crew can divert to if they cannot land at the destination.
• nearest suitable airport — The closest airport that is adequate for the aircraft to land at — where an emergency diversion normally goes.

Members study all 15 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
