Flight Phase Category; Category A Non-terminal flight phases requiring maneuvering, precision tracking, or precise flight-path control (e.g. air-to-air combat, terrain following). Category B Non-terminal Flight Phases with gradual maneuvers and without precision tracking, although accurate flight-path control may be required (e.g. climb, cruise). Category C Terminal Flight Phases are normally accomplished using gradual maneuvers and usually require accurate flight-path control (takeoff, approach and landing).
