Information About

Critical Area





AVIATION

In Aviation , a critical area refers to a designated area of an Airport that all Aircraft must remain clear of when another aircraft is inbound on an ILS approach. These areas are used to protect against signal Interference that may lead to Navigation al errors, or worse.
  • Much larger than the critical area is the sensitive area. Aircraft and vehicles are not allowed in this area when Low Visibility Procedures are in force, since aircraft will be making autolands and therefore the accuracy of the guidance signals provided by the ILS is absolutely critical.



INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

In Integrated Circuit Design , a critical area refers to the area of a circuit design wherein a particle of a particular size can cause a failure. It measures the sensitivity of the circuit to a reduction in yield.
