- 2. Time: A method for telling time used by all flight plans, characterized by the use of the 24-hour clock. Other common terms are Greenwich Mean Time, Universal Coordinated Time, and military time.
- 3. leg
- 6. Wind that blows in a direction not parallel to the course.The downward angle or inclination of an airplane’s wing in relation to a horizontal cross-section line.
- 7. main body of an aircraft
- 9. indicator
- 11. vertical control surface in the tail of an airplane, which controls the side-to-side movement of an aircraft.
- 13. aircraft that is often wingless, similar to a helicopter. However, an autogiro has unpowered rotary blades that rotate due to air speed and slipstream to get air powered-lift. Also known as a gyroplane.
- 14. - A tool to measure the pressure present in the air
- 15. on an aircraft along its nose-to-tail axis.
- 17. The aircraft’s movement from side to side.
- 19. - A portion of the plane in which the pilot(s) control the plane
- 21. The shape of a surface such as a wing, blade, turbine or rotor that generates lift from air passing over it.
- 23. main body of an aircraft
Down
- 1. or autogyro
- 4. cockpit instrument that measures the aircraft's altitude
- 5. of Attack: The angle created with an airfoil’s chord line and the direction of the air that passes through it.
- 8. elevator is a primary flight control surface that controls movement about the lateral axis of an aircraft.
- 10. that blows in a direction not parallel to the course
- 12. instrument that details the relation of the aircraft to the horizon.
- 16. - The area in which planes take flight into the air and land onto the ground
- 18. an aircraft engine is a machine the converts energy to power the plane
- 20. sign-Aviation call signs are communication call signs assigned as unique identifiers to aircraft.
- 22. Air: Condensed hot air emitted by the engine and used to heat and de-ice the jet at high pressure.
