Controlling the aircraft by reference to the instruments rather than by outside visual cues.
Industry:Aviation
A component of the total aerodynamic force on an airfoil and acts perpendicular to the relative wind.
Industry:Aviation
Restriction to flight imposed in order to:
1. Protect persons and property in the air or on the surface from an existing or imminent flight associated hazard;
2. Provide a safe environment for the operation of disaster relief aircraft;
3. Prevent an unsafe congestion of sightseeing aircraft above an incident;
4. Protect the President, Vice President, or other public figures; and,
5. Provide a safe environment for space agency operations.
Pilots are expected to cheque appropriate NOTAMs during flight planning when conducting flight in an area where a temporary flight restriction is in effect.
Industry:Aviation
Navigation of an airplane solely by means of computations based on airspeed, course, heading, wind direction and speed, groundspeed, and elapsed time.
Industry:Aviation
A marker beacon at or near the glideslope intercept altitude of an ILS approach. It is normally located four to seven miles from the runway threshold on the extended centerline of the runway.
Industry:Aviation
Airfoils attached to each side of the fuselage and are the main lifting surfaces that support the airplane in flight.
Industry:Aviation
The ability to recognise hazardous attitudes in oneself and the willingness to modify them as necessary through the application of an appropriate antidote thought.
Industry:Aviation
Amount of stress, or load factor, that an aircraft can withstand before structural damage or failure occurs.
