SECTION I
GENERAL
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY
Demonstrated The velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the
Crosswind airplane during take off and landing test was actually demonstrated during
Velocity certification. The value shown is not considered to be limiting.
g Acceleration due to gravity.
Service The maximum altitude at which aircraft at gross weight has the capability
Ceiling of climbing at the rate of 100 ft/min.
ENGINE CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS TERMINOLOGY
Propeller The control used to select engine speed.
Control
Throttle The control used to select engine power by controlling MP.
Control
Mixture Provides a mechanical linkage to the fuel injector mixture control to control
control the size of the fuel feed aperture, and therefore the air/fuel mixture. It is
the primary method to shut the engine down.
CHT Cylinder head temperature indicator used to determine that engine operat-
Gauge ing temperature is within manufacturers specifications.
Tachometer An instrument that indicates rotational speed of the engine. The speed is
shown as propeller revolutions per minute (RPM).
Propeller The device that regulates RPM of the engine/propeller by increasing or
Governor decreasing the propeller pitch, through a pitch change mechanism in the
propeller hub.

METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY

AGL Above ground level.
Density Altitude as determined by pressure altitude and existing ambient tempera-
Altitude ture. In standard atmosphere (ISA) density and pressure altitude are
equal. For a given pressure altitude, the higher the temperature, the higher
the density altitude.
Indicated The altitude actually read from an altimeter when, and only when baromet-
Altitude ric subscale (Kollsman window) has been set to Station Pressure.
ISA INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ATMOSPHERE assumes that
1. The air is a dry perfect gas;
2. The temperature at sea level is 15 degrees Celsius (59
3. The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Hg (1013.2 MB);
4. The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the
temperature is - 56.5
OAT OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE - The free air static temperature, obtained
either from in- flight temperature indications or ground meteorological
sources. It is expressed in
Pressure The indicated altitude when Kollsman window is set to 29.92 In. Hg. or
Altitude 1013.2 MB. In this handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to
be zero.
Station Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation.
