Terms for subject Aviation (2593 entries)

missed approach segment	That part of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) between the missed approach point (MAP) the missed approach waypoint (MAWP) or the point of arrival at decision height (DH) and the specified missed approach NAVAID, intersection, fix or waypoint, as appropriate, at the minimum IFR altitude. It is in this part of the approach procedure that the aircraft climbs and returns to the en route structure or is positioned for holding or a subsequent approach. The route of flight and altitudes are depicted on instrument approach charts.
missed approach turning waypoint	The waypoint designated in the missed approach segment of an instrument approach procedure (IAP) to which the aircraft will automatically fly en route to the specified missed approach holding waypoint
missed approach waypoint	The waypoint on the final approach course that signifies the termination of the final approach segment and the commencement of the missed approach segment. It is normally located at the threshold of the landing runway.
missile growl	An audible cue produced by the Sidewinder seeker head
missing aircraft notice	A message issued by a joint rescue coordination centre (JRCC) to ATS units, giving details of a missing aircraft
Mission Ready/Mission Support	MR/MS
MLG tire	main landing gear tire	elena.­kazan
mode	A letter or number assigned to a specific pulse spacing of the interrogation signals transmitted by an interrogator
Mode S	Selective Co-operative Secondary Surveillance System	Michae­lBurov
mode S transponder	A type of transponder with data-link capability
model in the loop simulation	MIL simulation	Michae­lBurov
model in the loop test	MIL test	Michae­lBurov
model-in-the-loop simulation	MIL simulation	Michae­lBurov
model-in-the-loop test	MIL test	Michae­lBurov
moderate icing	An atmospheric condition in which the rate of ice accumulation is such that even short encounters become potentially hazardous and the use of de-icing or anti-icing equipment or diversion is necessary
moderate turbulence	Turbulence that causes changes in altitude or attitude, but in which the aircraft remains in control at all times, and that usually causes variations in indicated airspeed (IAS) or turbulence that causes rapid bumps or jolts without appreciable changes in aircraft altitude or attitude
MOM airliner	Middle of the Market	Val_Sh­ips
moment of LV lift off	moment of launch-vehicle lift off
moment of LV lift off	moment of launch-vehicle lift off
morning civil twilight	Relative to the standard meridians of the time zones, the period of time that begins at the time specified by the Institute for National Measurement Standards of the National Research Council of Canada and ends at sunrise
