A process of cooling the air through expansion. For example, as air moves up slope it expands with the reduction of atmospheric pressure and cools as it expands.
Industry:Aviation
The height above a designated helicopter landing area used for helicopter instrument approach procedures.
Industry:Aviation
A process of heating dry air through compression. For example, as air moves down a slope it is compressed, which results in an increase in temperature.
Industry:Aviation
The DA/DH or MDA above the highest runway elevation in the touchdown zone (first 3,000 feet of the runway).
Industry:Aviation
A stabiliser that can be adjusted in flight to trim the airplane, thereby allowing the airplane to fly hands-off at any given airspeed.
Industry:Aviation
A NAVAID used for nonprecision instrument approaches. The final approach course is similar to that of an ILS localizer; however, the SDF course may be offset from the runway, generally not more than 3°, and the course may be wider than the localizer, resulting in a lower degree of accuracy.
Industry:Aviation
A propeller with blades whose pitch can be adjusted on the ground with the engine not running, but which cannot be adjusted in flight. Also referred to as a ground adjustable propeller. Sometimes also used to refer to constant-speed propellers that are adjustable in flight.
Industry:Aviation
