  2. Flight level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level

    The rule affected only those aircraft operating under IFR when in level flight above 3,000 ft above mean sea level, or above the appropriate transition altitude, whichever is the higher, and when below FL195 (19,500 ft above the 1013.2 hPa datum in the UK, or with the altimeter set according to the system published by the competent authority in ...

  3. Longitudinal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_stability

    It is an important aspect of the handling qualities of the aircraft, and one of the main factors determining the ease with which the pilot is able to maintain level flight. [2] Longitudinal static stability refers to the aircraft's initial tendency on pitching. Dynamic stability refers to whether oscillations tend to increase, decrease or stay ...

  4. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    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.

  5. Flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_dynamics

    Flight dynamics in aviation and spacecraft, is the study of the performance, stability, and control of vehicles flying through the air or in outer space. [1] It is concerned with how forces acting on the vehicle determine its velocity and attitude with respect to time.

  6. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    Stability and control derivatives change as flight conditions change. The collection of stability and control derivatives as they change over a range of flight conditions is called an aero model. Aero models are used in engineering flight simulators to analyze stability, and in real-time flight simulators for training and entertainment.

  7. Separation (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    If one aircraft is flying from city A to city B and another from city B to city A, If comparisons of the temporal distance of the first plane over city A with that of the second plane over city B and that of the second plane over city A with the first plane over city B lead to a separation of 4 minutes or less at any time during their flights, or

  8. Center of gravity of an aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_gravity_of_an...

    The center of gravity may change over the duration of the flight as the aircraft's weight changes due to fuel burn or by passengers moving forward or aft in the cabin. Reference Datum The reference datum is a reference plane that allows accurate, and uniform, measurements to any point on the aircraft. The location of the reference datum is ...

  9. 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).
