Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA) develops and markets aviation supplies, software, and books for pilots, flight instructors, flight engineers, airline professionals, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, aviation technicians and enthusiasts. Established in 1947, ASA also provides ...
Aerodynamic drag produced by an airfoil when it is producing lift. The amount of induced drag is determined by the shape and the area of the airfoil, the angle of attack, the air density, and the speed of the air moving over the airfoil.
Industry:Aviation
Aerodynamic surfaces which can be moved from the cockpit of an airplane to cause the airplane to rotate about its three axes. The primary control surfaces are the ailerons, elevators, and rudder.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts designed to expedite air traffic control route procedures and to facilitate transition between en route and instrument approach procedures.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts designed to expedite clearance delivery and facilitate transition between takeoff and enroute operations.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts designed to expedite safe and efficient flow of ground traffic at an airport.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts for enroute instrument navigation (IFR) in the high-altitude stratum. Information includes the portrayal of jet routes, identification and frequencies of radio aids, selected airports, distances, time zones, special use airspace, and related information.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts for enroute instrument navigation (IFR) in the low-altitude stratum. Information includes the portrayal of airways, limits of controlled airspace, position identification and frequencies of radio aids, selected airports, minimum en route and minimum obstruction clearance altitudes, airway distances, reporting points, restricted areas, and related data.
Industry:Aviation
Aeronautical charts that portray the aeronautical data required to execute an instrument approach to an airport. These charts depict the procedures, including all related data, and the airport diagram. Each procedure is designated for use with a specific type of electronic navigation system, such as NDB, TACAN, VOR, ILS, and RNAV.
Industry:Aviation
Air bled from one of the stages of the engine compressor and used for some function other than the operation of the engine. These functions include pressurization, deicing, anti-icing, air conditioning, and engine starting.
Industry:Aviation
Air forced down by aerodynamic action below and behind the wing of an airplane or rotor of a helicopter. Aerodynamic lift is produced when air is deflected downward. The upward force on the aircraft is the same as the downward force on the air. When the mass of air in the downwash is equal to the weight of the aircraft forcing it down, the aircraft rises.
