Terms for subject Aviation (1801 entries)

Aircraft Anti-icing Fluid	Aircraft Deicing Fluid	Баян
aircraft approach category	The grouping of aircraft based on speed. The categories are as follows: (a) Category A—speed up to 90 kt; (b) Category B—speed of 91 to 120 kt; (c) Category C—speed of 121 to 140 kt; (d) Category D—speed of 141 to 165 kt; and (e) Category E—speed above 165 kt.
aircraft arresting cable	That portion of an aircraft arresting system which spans the runway surface or flight deck landing area and is engaged by the aircraft arresting hook. Note 1 : The commonly used term in Canadian civil aviation documents is arrester cable. Note 2: The Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) contains relevant information on the type and location of arrester cables and precautionary measures.
aircraft arresting gear	A device used to engage hook equipped aircraft to absorb the forward momentum of a routine or emergency landing, or aborted take-off
aircraft arresting hook	A device fitted to an aircraft to engage arresting gear
aircraft arresting system	A series of devices used to stop an aircraft by absorbing its momentum in a routine or emergency landing or aborted take-off
aircraft autonomous integrity monitoring	A technology used to augment global positioning systems (GPS) and global orbiting navigation satellite systems (GLONASS) within the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) 1 framework that uses information from the aircraft inertial navigation systems to cross-check the integrity of the GPS signal
aircraft call sign	A group of alphanumeric characters used to identify an aircraft in air-ground communication
aircraft captain	The pilot having responsibility and authority for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time
aircraft classification number	A number expressing the relative effect of an aircraft on a pavement for a specified standard subgrade category
aircraft commander	The pilot, designated by the competent authority, who has command of the aircraft, crew and all persons on board and is responsible for the safe execution of the flight
aircraft commander	The aircrew member designated by a competent authority as being in command of an aircraft and responsible for its safe operation
aircraft critical surface contamination	Presence of substances, including frost, ice and snow, on the critical surfaces of an aircraft that can have an adverse impact on the performance of an aircraft
aircraft emergency	A situation that places an aircraft in a state of danger
aircraft identification	A group of letters or figures, or a combination thereof, that is either identical to, or the coded equivalent of the aircraft call sign to be used in air-ground communication and that is used to identify the aircraft in ground-ground ATS communications
aircraft incident	An event or sequence of events that may endanger human lives or compromise the safety of aircraft
aircraft load rating	A number expressing the relative structural loading effect of an aircraft on a pavement. ALRs are expressed on a scale from 1 (least demanding aircraft) to 12 (most demanding aircraft) ALRs have been assigned to present-day aircraft at their maximum and minimum operating weights and at a specific tire pressure. The ALR should not exceed the pavement load rating (PLR) for unrestricted aircraft operations. The ALR system for ranking aircraft in terms of their pavement-strength requirements is used exclusively in Canada. For the international reporting of aircraft pavement- strength requirements, the ICAO ACN code is used.
aircraft movement	A takeoff, landing, or simulated approach by an aircraft
aircraft movement	An aircraft takeoff or landing at an airport
aircraft movement information service	A service provided by area control centres (ACC) for the collection, processing and dissemination of aircraft movement information for use by air defence units
