- Not rule making
- Makes recommendations to improve aircraft, crew, passenger, and cargo flows at airports
- Established in 1944
- 191 members
EASA
- sets minimum standards
- rule making for Europe
- established 2002 (EU ops)

- 8 CM for Dreamliner
- must have minimum of 8 CM unless unforeseen circumstances
5 main sections of aircraft
Body Wings Engines Rudders Undercarriage
Air flow of the wing
- Low pressure air flows fast over the top of the wing
- High pressure air flows slow under the wing resulting in an upward suction effect
Winglets
Prevent air vortex
(helps prevent high pressure air from going over the top of the wing)
Flaps
Changes angle of attack
- Improves lift force at low speeds
- when landing the flaps aid in breaking effect
*Hydraulic power controls flaps
Slat
Wings front edge
- aids in sending air over the top of the wing
- used during take off and landing to help plane gain lift at lower speeds, but then turned back in flight to reduce drag
Spoiler
-creates drag and spoils the airflow to slow the aircraft (ads breaks)
Spoiler used if level of velocity becomes too great and to break with, when the wheels touch down on
The engine parts
Intake Compression Combustion Exhaust Air passes and turns the turbine
Thrust reversing
Reverse power to aid in stopping the aircraft
