Title of the Boeing T-43A Flight Manual. An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a paper book or electronic information set containing information required to operate an aircraft of certain type or particular aircraft of that type (each AFM is tailored for a specific aircraft, though aircraft of the same type naturally have very similar AFMs).
ATA 100 contains the reference to the ATA numbering system which is a common referencing standard for commercial aircraft documentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and understanding for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and engineers alike.
A Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is an aircraft technical document – quick-access manual for aircraft pilots that contains all the procedures applicable for non-normal and emergency conditions in an easy-to-use format. In addition, performance data corrections are also provided for specific conditions.
The Intel 80x86 processor was the first to be used for the system, in conjunction with a compiler and runtime system for the Ada programming language.Beginning in 1988 and continuing for a number of years, Honeywell Air Transport Systems worked together with consultants from DDC-I in collaboration to retarget and optimize the DDC-I Ada compiler to the AMD 29050 architecture for use in full ...

A takeoff/go-around switch (TO/GA; / ˈ t oʊ ɡ ə /) is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: takeoff (TO) and go-around (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the go-around mode of the autothrottle (about 90–92% ...
