ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS
CAS
Calibrated Airspeed is indicated airspeed corrected for position and
instrument error.
IAS
Indicated Airspeed: is the speed shown on the on-board airspeed in-
dicator.
TAS
True Airspeed: is calibrated airspeed corrected for altitude and tem-
perature.
VFE
Maximum Flap Extended Speed: is the highest speed permissible
with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position.
VNO
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed: is the speed that should not be
exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution.
VNE
Never Exceed Speed: is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at
any time.
VS
Stalling Speed.
VS0
Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the air-
plane is controllable in the landing configuration at the most forward
center of gravity.
VX
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest
gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance.
VY
Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest
gain in altitude in a given time.
Vr
Rotation speed: is the speed at which the aircraft rotates about the
pitch axis during takeoff
Vobs
Obstacle speed: is the speed at which the aircraft flies over a 15m
obstacle during takeoff or landing

METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY
OAT
Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature expressed in
degrees Celsius (°C).
TS
Standard Temperature is 15°C at sea level pressure altitude and de-
creased by 2°C for each 1000 ft of altitude.
HP
Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter when the baro-
metric subscale has been set to 1013 mb.
ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY
RPM
Revolutions Per Minute: is the number of revolutions per minute of the
propeller, multiplied by 2.273 (912UL) or 2.4286 (912S) yields engine
RPM.
AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY
Crosswind
Velocity
is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate
control of the airplane during takeoff and landing was actually
demonstrated.
Usable fuel
is the fuel available for flight planning.
Unusable fuel
is the quantity of fuel that cannot be safely used in flight.
G
is the acceleration of gravity.
TOR
is the takeoff distance measured from actual start to wheel lif-
toff point
TOD
is total takeoff distance measured from start to 15m obstacle
clearing
GR
is the distance measured during landing from actual touchdown
to stop point
LD
is the distance measured during landing, from 15m obstacle
clearing to actual stop.
S/R
is specific range, that is, the distance (in nautical miles) which
can be expected at a specific power setting and/or flight confi-
guration per kilo of fuel consumed

WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY
Datum
is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are
measured for balance purposes.
Arm
is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of
gravity (C. G.) of an item.
Moment
is the product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm.
C. G.
Center of Gravity is the point at which the airplane, or equipment,
would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is
found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane.
Standard
Empty
Weight
is the weight of a standard airplane, including unusable fuel, full oper-
ating fuels and full engine oil.
Basic Empty
Weight
is the standard empty weight plus the weight of optional equipment.
Useful Load
is the difference between takeoff weight and the basic empty weight.
Maximum
Weight
is the maximum weight of the aircraft.
Maximum
Takeoff
Weight
is the maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run.
Maximum
Landing
Weight
is the maximum weight approved for the landing touch down.
Tare
is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when weighing an
airplane, and is included in the scale readings. Tare is deducted from
the scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight.
