2. Flight length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_length

   The related term flight time is defined by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) as "The total time from the moment an aeroplane first moves for the purpose of taking off until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight", and is referred to colloquially as "blocks to blocks" or "chocks to chocks" time.

3. Longest flights - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_flights

   Flight scheduled time is another commonly reported figure that refers to the duration of a flight, published by a flight's operator. This is an unrelated/unreliable figure that incorporates further additional variables by airlines to reflect their operations and manage customer expectations that allow for variation in boarding procedures ...

4. E6B - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

   These flight computers are used during flight planning (on the ground before takeoff) to aid in calculating fuel burn, wind correction, time en route, and other items. In the air, the flight computer can be used to calculate ground speed, estimated fuel burn and updated estimated time of arrival.

5. Flight-time equivalent dose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight-time_equivalent_dose

   The flight-time equivalent dose concept is the creation of Ulf Stahmer, a Canadian professional engineer working in the field of radioactive materials transport. It was first presented in the poster session [1] at the 18th International Symposium of the Packaging and Transport of Radioactive Materials (PATRAM) held in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan where the poster received an Aoki Award for distinguished ...

6. True airspeed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_airspeed

   The ASI will indicate less than TAS when the air density decreases due to a change in altitude or air temperature. For this reason, TAS cannot be measured directly. In flight, it can be calculated either by using an E6B flight calculator or its equivalent.

7. Flight planning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_planning

   Flight plans mix metric and non-metric units of measurement. The particular units used may vary by aircraft, airline, and location across a flight. Since 1979, [4] the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has recommended a unification of units of measurement within aviation based on the International System of Units (SI). [5]
