    While carrying the shell, the athletes are commanded to hold the shell in a diagonal position, the high side as stated. "Check it/her down" Square the oars in the water to stop the boat. "Count Down" (or "number off") Tells the crew to call out their seat number, starting at the bow, when ready to row. "Down on port/starboard"

  4. Rotation (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(aeronautics)

    In aviation, rotation refers to the action of applying back pressure to a control device, such as a yoke, side-stick or centre stick, to lift the nose wheel off the ground during takeoff.

  5. Aircraft principal axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_principal_axes

    The position of all three axes, with the right-hand rule for describing the angle of its rotations. An aircraft in flight is free to rotate in three dimensions: yaw, nose left or right about an axis running up and down; pitch, nose up or down about an axis running from wing to wing; and roll, rotation about an axis running from nose to tail.

  6. Aircraft maintenance checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance_checks

    The C check is performed approximately every 20 to 24 months, after a specific number of actual flight hours, or as defined by the manufacturer. This maintenance check is much more extensive than the B check, requiring a large majority of the aircraft's components to be inspected. This check puts the aircraft out of service for 1 to 4 weeks.

    ATC can then feed back information to the pilot to help establish position, or can actually tell the pilot the position of the aircraft, depending on the level of ATC service the pilot is receiving. The use of GNSS in aircraft is becoming increasingly common. GNSS provides very precise aircraft position, altitude, heading and ground speed ...

  8. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The three axes of rotation in an aircraft. Flight dynamics is the science of air vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of gravity (cg), known as pitch, roll and yaw.

  9. Slow roll (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_roll_(aeronautics)

    At the midpoint of the roll, the pilot will be hanging upside-down by the seatbelt, and any loose debris in the cockpit will fall to the canopy or out of the plane. The rate at which a slow roll can be performed is often determined by skill of the pilot. The better the pilot; the faster the roll can be performed.
