A facility approved and certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration under 14 CFR Part 145 Repair Stations to perform certain types of repairs to certificated aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
A facility established to provide air traffic control service to aircraft operating on IFR flight plans within controlled airspace and principally during the en route phase of flight.
When equipment capabilities and controller workload permit, certain advisory/assistance services may also be provided to VFR aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
A facility in Washington, D.C., established by the FAA to operate a central aeronautical information service for the collection, validation, and dissemination of aeronautical data in support of the activities of government, industry, and the aviation community. The information is published in the National Flight Data Digest.
Industry:Aviation
A facility which can deliver, in a matter of minutes, a surface picture (SURPIC) of vessels in the area of a potential or actual search and rescue incident, including their predicted positions and their characteristics.
Industry:Aviation
A facility which enables the FAA to manage the ATC system when significant portions of the system’s capabilities have been lost or threatened.
Industry:Aviation
A factor used in sheet metal work to determine the setback for other than a
90° bend. K-factors are found in charts in most sheet metal working handbooks.
Setback = K . (bend radius + metal thickness).
For bends of less than 90°, the value of K is less than 1; for bends greater than 90°, the value of K is greater than 1.
Industry:Aviation
A fairing used to give shape, but not strength, to an object. A fillet produces a smooth junction where two surfaces meet. Fillets are often used to produce a smooth, aerodynamically clean junction between the wing and the fuselage of an airplane.
Industry:Aviation
A family of high-precision maneuvers in which the gyroscopic action of the propeller works with the aerodynamic forces to cause the airplane to tumble end over end and rotate about all three of its axes.
Industry:Aviation
A fault resembling haze in an enamel or lacquer finish of an aircraft. Air impingement is caused by microscopic-sized bubbles in the finish that form when the finishing material is applied using too high an atomizing air pressure.
Industry:Aviation
A fault which occurs in a system or circuit only at certain times and under certain conditions. Intermittent faults often do not follow a consistent pattern, and their cause is usually difficult to determine.
