Terms for subject Aviation (1801 entries)

A / THR	auto thrust	Intere­x
automated weather observation system	A set of meteorological sensors and associated systems designed to electronically collect and disseminate meteorological data
automatic altitude reporting	The function of a transponder that responds to Mode C interrogations by transmitting the aircraft’s altitude in 1OO-ft increments
automatic dependent surveillance	A surveillance technique in which aircraft automatically provide, via a data link, data derived from on-board navigation and position-fixing systems, including aircraft identification, four-dimensional position and additional data as appropriate
automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast	A means by which aircraft, aerodrome vehicles and other objects can automatically transmit and/or receive data such as identification, position and additional data, as appropriate, in a broadcast mode via a data link
automatic dependent surveillance broadcast	ADS-Broadcast	Michae­lBurov
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Rebroadcast	ADS–Rebroadcast	Michae­lBurov
automatic direction finder	An aircraft radio navigation system that senses and indicates the direction to a LF/MF non-directional beacon (NDB) ground transmitter. Direction is indicated to the pilot as a magnetic bearing or as a relative bearing to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft depending on the type of indicator installed in the aircraft. In certain applications, such as military, ADF operations may be based on airborne and ground transmitters in the VHF/UHF spectrum.
automatic direction-finding equipment	An aircraft radio navigation system that senses and indicates the direction to a LF/MF non-directional beacon (NDB) ground transmitter. Direction is indicated to the pilot as a magnetic bearing or as a relative bearing to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft depending on the type of indicator installed in the aircraft. In certain applications, such as military, ADF operations may be based on airborne and ground transmitters in the VHF/UHF spectrum.
automatic fixed ELT	An ELT that is permanently attached to an aircraft
automatic portable ELT	An ELT that is rigidly attached to an aircraft but readily removable from the aircraft after a crash
automatic radio compass	An aircraft radio navigation system that senses and indicates the direction to a LF/MF non-directional beacon (NDB) ground transmitter. Direction is indicated to the pilot as a magnetic bearing or as a relative bearing to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft depending on the type of indicator installed in the aircraft. In certain applications, such as military, ADF operations may be based on airborne and ground transmitters in the VHF/UHF spectrum.
automatic terminal information service	The provision, throughout the day or a specified portion of the day, of current, routine information to arriving and departing aircraft by means of continuous and repetitive recorded broadcasts
automatically deployable ELT	An ELT that is rigidly attached to an aircraft and deployed automatically in response to a crash. Manual deployment is also provided.
autonomous intercept	Intercepts initiated by aircrew when no target information is being received from command and control sources
autorotation	A rotorcraft flight condition in which the lifting rotor is driven entirely by action of the air when the rotorcraft is in motion. • spoken expression: auto
autorotation to touchdown	An expression used by a helicopter pilot to indicate that he or she will be landing without applying power to the rotor
autorotational landing	An expression used by a helicopter pilot to indicate that he or she will be landing without applying power to the rotor
autorotative landing	An expression used by a helicopter pilot to indicate that he or she will be landing without applying power to the rotor
