Contacts in one half of an electrical connector, made in the form of metal pins. These pins, called male contacts, fit into sockets, female contacts, in the other half of the connector. Pin contacts are normally used on the half of the connector in the “cold” part of the circuit, the part not connected to the source of power.
Industry:Aviation
Continuously recorded hazardous in-flight weather forecasts broadcast to airborne pilots over selected VOR outlets defined as HIWAS broadcast areas.

Control of an object from a location different from that of the device being controlled. Remote control can be accomplished by fluid power, by electrical current carried through wires, or by signals transmitted by radio or light.
Industry:Aviation
Control of some type of mechanical device by electrical signals transmitted from a remote location.
Industry:Aviation
Control surfaces on an airplane that combine the functions of the rudder and the elevators. Ruddervators are the movable surfaces in a V-tail empennage. Moving together, they act as elevators, rotating the airplane about its lateral axis. Moving differentially, they act as the rudder to rotate the airplane about its vertical axis.
Industry:Aviation
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth, when designated in conjunction with an airport for which an approved instrument approach procedure has been prescribed — or from 1,200 feet or more above the surface of the earth when designated in conjunction with airway route structures or segments. Unless otherwise limited, transition areas terminate at the base of the overlying controlled airspace.
Transition areas are designated to contain IFR operations in controlled airspace during portions of the terminal operation, and while transitioning between the terminal and en route environment.
Industry:Aviation
Controlled airspace extending upward from the surface or higher to specified altitudes within which all aircraft are subject to operating rules and pilot and equipment requirements specified in 14 CFR Part 91.
Industry:Aviation
Controlled airspace which extends upward from the surface and terminates at the base of the continental control area. Control zones that do not underlie the continental control area have no upper limit.
A control zone may include one or more airports. It is normally a circular area with a radius of five statute miles from the center of the airport and may include any extensions necessary for instrument approach and departure paths.
