Air traffic separation in accordance with minimums other than the composite separation minimum specified for the area concerned.
Industry:Aviation
Air trapped in a liquid, forming an emulsion with it. When lubricating oil passes through an engine, it picks up large quantities of air, and this entrained air increases the volume of the oil, making it less effective as a lubricant.
Entrained air must be removed from the oil by a deaerator system, an air-oil separator, before it is sent back through the engine.
Industry:Aviation
Air which has passed through a gas turbine engine compressor and is used for cooling. Secondary air is not used in the combustion process.
Industry:Aviation
Air whose pressure has been increased above that of the ambient, or surrounding, air by some form of mechanical compressor.
Industry:Aviation
Airborne radar which operates in the frequency range of 0.39 to 1.55 gigahertz. The wavelength of L-band radar is between 77 and 19 centimeters.
Industry:Aviation
Aircraft approaching a busy terminal area are directed from the ground by a process known as vectoring. The air traffic controller on the ground has radar contact with the aircraft, and by giving the pilot a vector, or a heading to fly, the aircraft can be positioned to avoid other traffic, to fly around bad weather, or be directed to a position from which a landing can be made.
Industry:Aviation
Aircraft brakes that use the main hydraulic system to supply fluid for the brake actuation. Aircraft that require a large amount of fluid for their brake actuation normally use power brakes, and the volume of fluid sent to the brakes is increased by the use of deboosters.
Industry:Aviation
Aircraft built by individuals as a hobby rather than by factories as commercial products. Amateur-built, or homebuilt, aircraft are not required to meet the stringent requirements imposed on FAA-certificated commercially built aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
Aircraft control cable made up of seven strands of wire with each strand containing 19 individual wires. Extra-flexible cable, normally called 7 by 19 cable, is used in all locations where the cable must pass over a pulley.
Industry:Aviation
Aircraft dope that causes almost no shrinkage of the fabric on which it is applied. Nontautening dope is used on polyester fabric after it has been shrunk with heat.
