  stabilator that moves in the same direction as the primary control. It is used to make the stabilator less sensitive. Approach lighting system (ALS). Provides lights that will penetrate the atmosphere far enough from touchdown to give directional, distance ... visual meteorological conditions (VMC) expected over a large area encompassing several states. Area navigation (RNAV). Allows a pilot to fly a selected course to a predetermined point without the need to overfly ground-based navigation facilities, by using waypoints…

  Chapter 5: Aerodynamics of Flight › High Speed Flight › Subsonic Versus Supersonic Flow

  Compressibility (and to a lesser extent viscosity) is of paramount importance at speeds approaching the speed of sound. In these speed ranges, compressibility causes a change in the density of the air around an aircraft. During flight, a wing produces ... upper surface. This accelerated air can, and does, reach sonic speeds even though the aircraft itself may be flying subsonic. At some extreme AOAs, in some aircraft, the speed of the air over the top surface of the wing…

  Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Flicker Vertigo › Night Landing Illusions

  Landing Illusions Landing illusions occur in many forms. Above featureless terrain at night, there is a natural tendency to fly a lowerthan-normal approach. Elements that cause any type of visual obscurities, such as rain, haze, or a dark runway ... environment, can also cause low approaches. Bright lights, steep surrounding terrain, and a wide runway can produce the illusion of being too low with a tendency to fly a higher-than-normal approach. A set of regularly spaced lights along…
