Terminology
Fixing something to restore it back into good working condition
Repair
Air that literally rams into an object
Ram Air Pressure
This instrument is just a very fancy and expensive compass
The Heading Indicator
This kind of work is performed by liquids
Hydraulic Power System
This kind of work is performed by air
Pneumatic Power System
Any activities in aviation such as managing flights and aircraft support
Air operations
Checking for mechanical issues by checking the piece of machinery to find any faults that need to be fixed
Overhaul
One of the most essential instruments used on an aircraft. Displays altitude in reference to Sea Level
The Altimeter
Fuel is generally stored here in aircrafts as well as another section on long-range jets
The Wings and the Tail
These were introduced to ensure safer and more efficient deceleration after landing
Brakes or Braking System
How efficiently and safely a power source delivers electricity
Electrical System Performance
The nozzle on the wing of an aircraft that helps measure airspeed
Pitot Tube
This instrument consists of a rapidly spinning rotor or disc allowing its axle to maintain a fixed direction
The Gyroscope
Who inspects the equipment following the process of installing and repairing by the mechanics
avionics inspectors
In any air operations these 3 terms are constant ongoing duties done to maintain performance and safety of an aircraft
maintenance, overhaul, and repair
Dense clouds or weather conditions that make it hard to see
Instrument Meteorological Conditions
Ongoing repair work that is done regularly to keep any machine, building, or equipment in operational order
Maintenance
This instrument is used at altitudes within 2500 feet of the ground and provides a digital display of the aircrafts altitude
The Radio Altimeter
This system was created to allow the landing gear to be stowed during flight to reduce aerodynamic loads or drag
Retraction System
The safety and reliability of these systems rely on these 2 processes
Proper inspection and maintenance
The amount of Power, Torque, and Speed produced by the engine
Engine Operational Parameters
Resistance that air encounters as it flows through a system
Static Air Pressure
Provides the pilot with an artificial horizon as a point of reference
The Attitude Indicator
The aircraft instrument systems group includes mechanics who do these things to all the equipment inside of an aircraft
install, adjust, repair, and overhaul
The altimeter must be tested and inspected by this group or a certain station
The aircraft manufacturer or a certified and approved repair station
