CJ Definitions Flashcards
Accelerate-Stop Distance
The distance required to accelerate the aircraft and then abort the takeoff with maximum braking applied at V1
Accelerate-Go Distance
The horizontal distance from brake release to the point at which the airplane attains a height of 35 feet above the runway surface on a takeoff during which an engine has failed at V1
ARM
The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center-of-gravity of an item
AOA
Angle of Attack
APP
Autopilot Panel
BEW
Basic Empty Weight. The standard empty weight plus installed equipment.
BOW
BEW plus the weight of the crew.
Calibrated Airspeed (KCAS)
Indicated airspeed in knots corrected for position error
CB
Circuit breaker
C.G.
Center-of-gravity. The point at which the airplane would balance if suspended.
C.G. Arm
The arm obtained by adding the airplane’s individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weights
C.G. Limits
The extreme C.G. locations within which the airplane must be operated at a given weight
CHP
Control/Heading Panel
Climb Gradient
The ratio of the change in height to the horizontal distance traveled
DCP
Display Control Panel
Demonstrated Crosswind
The demonstrated crossing velocity of 21 knots (measured at 6 ft above the runway surface) is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during takeoff and landing was demonstrated during certification tests. This is not limiting.
EADI
Electronic Attitude Director Indicator
EDFP
Engine-Driven Fuel Pump
EFIS
Electronic Flight Instrument System; EADI, EHSI, and associated controllers
EGPWS
Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System
EHSI
Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator
FCU
Fuel Control Unit
FCV
Flow Control Valve
FMS
Flight Management System
GCU
Generator Control Unit
GPM
Gallons per Minute
GPU
Ground Power Unit
Gross Climb Gradient
The climb gradient that the airplane can actually achieve with ideal ambient conditions
HF
High Frequency
HSI
Horizontal Situation Indicator
Hot Start
An engine start, or an attempted engine start, which results in an interstage turbine temperature that exceeds the engine starting temperature envelope limits
Hz
Hertz
In. Hg
Inches of Mercury
Indicated Airspeed (KIAS)
Airspeed indicator reading in knots which includes position error
ISA
Internation Standard Atmosphere
ITT
Interstage Turbine Temperature. Engine operating temperature taken between the high and low pressure turbine sections
Landing Distance
The distance from a point 50 ft above the runway surface to the point at which the airplane would come to a full stop on the runway.
Lb
Pound
Lb/Hr
Pounds per Hour
