The actual distance between an aircraft and the terrain over which it is flying.
Industry:Aviation
Five aeronautical decision-making attitudes that may contribute to poor pilot judgment: anti-authority, impulsivity, invulnerability, machismo, and resignation.
Industry:Aviation
A fuselage design that includes a substructure of bulkheads and/or formers, along with stringers, to support flight loads and stresses imposed on the fuselage.
Industry:Aviation
Pressure measured from the reference of zero pressure, or a vacuum.
Industry:Aviation
Service providing recorded weather forecasts broadcast to airborne pilots over selected VORs.
Industry:Aviation
A form of multipointer pneumatic altimeter with an adjustable barometric scale that allows the reference pressure to be set to any desired level.
Industry:Aviation
The distance required to accelerate to V1 with all engines at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, and continue the takeoff on the remaining engine(s). The runway required includes the distance required to climb to 35 feet by which time V2 speed must be attained.
Industry:Aviation
The direction in which the nose of the aircraft is pointing during flight.
Industry:Aviation
The maximum density altitude where the best rate-of-climb airspeed will produce a 100-feet-per-minute climb at maximum weight while in a clean configuration with maximum continuous power.
Industry:Aviation
The distance required to accelerate to V1 with all engines at takeoff power, experience an engine failure at V1, and abort the takeoff and bring the airplane to a stop using braking action only (use of thrust reversing is not considered).
