  • Chapter: 2. En Route Operations
    Chapter 2 En Route Operations Introduction The en route phase of flight is defined as that segment of flight from the termination point of a departure procedure to the origination point of an arrival procedure. The procedures employed in the en route phase of flight are governed by a set of specific flight standards established by 14 CFR [Figure 2-1], FAA Order 8260.3, and related publications. These standards establish courses to be flown, obstacle clearance criteria, minimum altitudes, navigation performance, and communications requirements. 2-1 fly along the centerline when on a Federal airway or, on routes other than Federal airways, along the direct course between NAVAIDs or fixes defining the route. The regulation allows maneuvering to pass well clear of other air traffic or, if in visual meteorogical conditions (VMC), to clear the flightpath both before and during climb or descent. Airways Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called airways. [Figure 2-2] Airways can be thought of as three- dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules governing airway routing, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), are published flight procedures that cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway. Most airways are eight nautical miles (14 kilometers) wide, and the airway Figure 2-1.

  • Feminism and Magic in Snow White
    Dittmeier 1 Feminism and Magic in Snow White Magic is something that has always been very prevalent in fairy tales. Many fairy tales include young women—complacent, innocent, and invariably beautiful young women—who are either terrorized by an evil witch, helped out of a bad circumstance by a fairy godmother, or both. They are expected to handle their misfortune gracefully and show kindness even to their enemies, which they are often rewarded for, and generally this reward is marriage. However, some of these fairy tales can be seen through a more feminist lens. Magical fairy tale women do not have to just be either evil or the bumbling fairy godmother who helps the heroine get her marriage reward. Snow White, for example, has more control over her story than may be apparent. There is a hidden feminist ideology in Snow White that we can see through Snow White’s use of magic. Witches—women who can use magic—are, in modern times, a feminist symbol. The witch is a woman who has her own power, and in the case of some stories, Macbeth, for example, they have power to drive the plot (Guadagnino, 2018). The witch can be a positive symbol for a woman who has her own agency. If we look closely, we can see clues that indicate that Snow White is not only a witch, but that she is using her own power to drive her story along. Magic is evident from the very beginning of Snow White. Snow White’s mother is sewing by the open window, and she pricks her finger.
