  2. Height above ground level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_above_ground_level

    In aviation, atmospheric sciences and broadcasting, a height above ground level (AGL [1] or HAGL) is a height measured with respect to the underlying ground surface.This is as opposed to height above mean sea level (AMSL or HAMSL), height above ellipsoid (HAE, as reported by a GPS receiver), or height above average terrain (AAT or HAAT, in broadcast engineering).

  3. Terminal aerodrome forecast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_aerodrome_forecast

    TAF indicates that the following is a terminal aerodrome forecast. This line may also indicate an amended forecast (TAF AMD) or a corrected forecast (TAF COR) [3] KXYZ indicates the airport to which the forecast applies (ICAO airport code). 051730Z indicates that the report was issued on the 5th of the month at 1730 UTC (also known as Zulu ...

    For instance, in Australia, VMC minima outside controlled airspace are clear of cloud with 5,000 m visibility below 3,000 ft AMSL or 1,000 ft AGL (whichever is higher), and 1,000 ft vertical/1,500 m horizontal separation from cloud above these altitudes or in controlled airspace. Above 10,000 ft, 8,000 m visibility is required to maintain VMC.

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2, which is the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second, per second. Newton's law of universal gravitation – is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and ...

    The difference was real. Accordingly, it was decided not to use average MSL and fix on one site: MSL Newlyn. Newlyn has certain practical advantages: it is set in granite bedrock, is far from major rivers, and it better represents deep ocean sea levels. The difference between ODL (Liverpool) and ODN (Newlyn) was found to be 0.13 feet.

  7. Glass batch calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_batch_calculation

    For example, the batch component SiO 2 adds 1 mol SiO 2 to the glass, therefore, the intersection of the first column and row shows "1". Trona adds 1.5 mol Na 2 O to the glass; albite adds 6 mol SiO 2, 1 mol Na 2 O, and 1 mol Al 2 O 3, and so on. For the example given above, the complete batching matrix is listed below. The molarity matrix N G ...

  8. Lowest safe altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_safe_altitude

    The differences in the clearance heights for obstacles is due to the potential for unreported obstacles up to 360 feet which are not marked on maps or charts. The determination of which is the highest obstacle along the flight path depends on the method of navigation ( radio navigation aid, dead reckoning or area navigation systems) and on the ...

  9. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_mass...

    The velocity of the charged particle after acceleration will not change since it moves in a field-free time-of-flight tube. The velocity of the particle can be determined in a time-of-flight tube since the length of the path (d) of the flight of the ion is known and the time of the flight of the ion (t) can be measured using a transient digitizer or time to digital converter.
