19 Terms

1

Thrust Management

The amount of useful thrust required developed by an engine, usually expressed as a percentage.

New cards
2

FADEC

Full Authority Digital Engine Control, a computer-controlled electromechanical system that manages engine thrust and throttle position.

New cards
3

ECAM

Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor, displayed in the cockpit to provide engine parameters and other information.

New cards
4

MCT

Maximum Continuous Thrust, a thrust setting that should be applied during the appropriate segment of flight.

New cards
5

Published Allowable Limitation of TOGA

The maximum duration TOGA thrust can be applied during flight, which is usually 5 minutes.

New cards
6

N1/N2 Sensors

Important sensors responsible for monitoring the low-speed (N1) and high-speed (N2) rotors in engines.

New cards
7

VOR

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range, a short-range radio navigation system used to navigate aircraft with signal coverage up to 200 miles.

New cards
8

DME

Distance Measuring Equipment, a navigation beacon coupled with a VOR to measure the aircraft's position relative to the beacon.

New cards
9

ILS

Instrument Landing System, a precision radio navigation system providing guidance for aircraft during approach and landing.

New cards
10

VFR

Visual Flight Rules, regulations for flying under visual conditions, involving specific altitude and visibility requirements.

New cards
11

Dead Reckoning

A navigation technique estimating a current position based on a known position.

New cards
12

High Angle of Attack Protection

Safety feature that prevents the aircraft from exceeding critical angles of attack during flight.

New cards
13

Flight Control Data Concentrator (FCDC)

A system that acquires data from flight control computers and sends it to the Electric Instrument System and Fault Display System.

New cards
14

Bank Angle Protection

A protection mechanism that limits the bank angle to ensure safe flight operations.

New cards
15

Thrust Reverser Control

A function of FADEC that manages engine thrust reversal during landing.

New cards
16

Yaw Damper

An automated flight control system used to minimize unwanted yaw oscillation, also known as Dutch Roll.

New cards
17

Electronic Instrument System (EIS)

The system that presents flight data to pilots, acquiring inputs from various sensors.

New cards
18

Auto Thrust

A system that automatically manages the aircraft's thrust based on flight parameters.

New cards
19

Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)

A safety device installed on aircraft that transmits distress signals for locating and rescuing the aircraft in emergencies.
