No. "Federal appellate court" describes a type of court, but not a specific court.
Federal = United States government (as opposed to the state governments)
Appellate = A court of appeals that reviews cases already tried in a lower court
Court = Self-explanatory
The US Supreme Court is a federal appellate court, but so are the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, so you can't really say "federal appellate court" is synonymous with "US Supreme Court.
Because the Supreme Court is the highest appellate court, it is sometimes referred to as the "High Court" or the "Court of Last Resort."
The correct name is Supreme Court of the United States, but most people just call it the US Supreme Court.
