Definition
A page in the FAA Terminal Procedures Publication that provides pilots with critical information specific to a particular airport's Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) operations, including the requirement for PRM training, equipment, and procedures, before they can accept a PRM approach clearance.
Plain English
A briefing page in the approach chart booklet that tells pilots what they need to know — and need to be qualified for — before flying a PRM approach at a specific airport.
Context Anchor
Seen in PRM approach chart material and approach briefings for airports that use simultaneous close parallel runway operations.
Why Pilots Care
Reading the AAUP ensures pilots know exactly which frequency to monitor and what immediate actions to take if given a breakout instruction, maintaining safe separation between aircraft on parallel approaches.
Intuition Check
Do not treat an AAUP as a general announcement page. In this context, it is approach-specific information pilots are expected to review before using the PRM procedure.
Example Sentence 1
Before starting the approach briefing into Minneapolis, the captain pulled up the AAUP to review the PRM-specific procedures for that airport.
Example Sentence 2
The AAUP listed the specific actions to take if a traffic advisory or breakout instruction was received during the PRM approach.
