LESSON13-THE ABREVIATIONS AND THEIR MEANINGS

TRY TO SAY THE ABREVIATIONS OF THESE:

The system that receives ram air,static air,and temperature information from sensors,and provides information such as altitude,indicated airspeed,vertical speed,and wind direction and velocity to other cockpit systems.____________

An integrated flight instrument system that combines the functions of an air data computer and attitude heading reference system into one unit_____________

A method of navigation that permits operations along any desired flightpath within the area of coverage of station-referenced navigation aids(e.g.,GPS,VOR/DME,DME/DME,eLORAN),or within the limits of a self-contained navigation system(INS,doppler radar),or any combination._________

An integrated flight instrument system that provides attitude,heading,rate of turn,and slip/skid information.____________

A computer system containing a database to allow programming of routes,approaches,and departures that can supply navigation data to the flight director/autopilot from various sources,and can calculate flight data such as fuel consumption,time remaining,possible range,and other values.__________

The autopilot function that manipulates the pitch of the aircraft to track a glideslope signal or APV guidance during a precision approach.____________

Lateral(azimuth)navigation guidance.A type of navigation associated with nonprecision approach procedures or en route naviagation.___________

Lateral navigation/vertical navigation minimums provided for RNAV system that include both lateral and vertical navigation(e.g.;WAAS avionics approved for_______,certified barometric VNAV with IFR approach certified GPS).Procedure minimums altitude is published as DA(decision altitude)._________

A cockpit display capable of presenting information received from a variety of advanced avionics systems.____________

The device that measures the strength of the earth´s magnetic field to determine aircraft heading,and similar to the flux valve in function.____________

An electronic flight display that presents the primary flight instruments,navigation instruments,and other information about the status of the flight in one integrated presentation.Primary-secondary task inversion.Situation in which the pilot ceases to monitor the situation derectly and simply listens for system alerts.____________


An onboard system that detects the presenceof some aircraft operating in the vicinity of the airplane by querying the transponders of nearby aircraft andpresenting their locations and relative altitudes on a display.Alerts and warnings are issued when nearby aircraft deemed to be a threat to safety.Traffic advisory systems such as ADS-B are an offshoot of newer technologies,but do not yet offer the reliability or accuracy of proven,certified_____units.__________-


Can you tell what´s LORAN means and it´s functions?(LORAN-C,eLORAN)?
