Study Notes
Overview of Aviation
- Originates from the French word “avi,” meaning bird.
- Encompasses design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft, particularly heavier-than-air types.
- Functions as a system dedicated to air transportation.
Types of Aviation
-
General Aviation:
- Defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization as all civil aviation operations except scheduled air services and unscheduled transport for hire.
-
Commercial Aviation:
- Involves aircraft operation for transporting passengers or cargo for compensation.
- Includes scheduled airlines and charter services.
-
Military Aviation:
- Utilizes military aircraft for national security, warfare, and logistical deployments.
Categories of Aircraft
-
Aerobatic Airplanes:
- Specifically designed to perform complex aerobatic maneuvers.
-
Commuter Airplanes:
- Intended for short-haul flights, connecting regional airports.
-
Experimental Airplanes:
- Used to test new technologies and designs before production or certification.
-
Light Sport Aircraft:
- Small and lightweight, tailored for recreational flying and pilot training.
-
Limited Airplanes:
- Subject to operational limitations due to regulatory reasons or design constraints.
-
Normal Aircraft:
- General aviation and commercial-use airplanes known for stability and versatility.
-
