ALIAC 2: PRINCIPLES OF AVIATION MIDTERM M O D U LE II I ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited CATEGORIES IN AVIATION ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is prohibited  CIVIL AVIATION Is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military aviation, both private and commercial The term “civil aviation” refers to the air-transportation service provided to the public by airlines. while “military aviation” refers to the development and use of military aircraft. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is CIVIL AVIATION INCLUDES TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES: ◦SCHEDULED AIR TRANSPORT - INCLUDING ALL PASSENGER AND CARGO FLIGHTS OPERATING ON REGULARLY SCHEDULED ROUTES ◦GENERAL AVIATION (GA) - INCLUDING ALL OTHER CIVIL FLIGHTS, PRIVATE OR COMMERCIAL ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  GENERAL AVIATION - It is all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is AIR CHARTER - IS THE BUSINESS OF RENTING AN ENTIRE AIRCRAFT AS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT SEATS ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is FLYING SCHOOL (FLIGHT TRAINING) - IS A COURSE OF STUDY USED WHEN LEARNING TO PILOT AN AIRCRAFT. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  MILITARY AVIATION Is the use of military aircraft and other flying machines for the purpose of conducting or enabling aerial warfare, including national airlift (air cargo) capacity to provide logistical supply to forces stationed in a theater or along a front. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  AIRCRAFT  Aircraft is any structure that is intended for navigation through the air and that is supported either by its own buoyancy or by the dynamic action of air against. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift/buoyancy or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil ALIAC ◦Dynamic lift – Powered lift PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is CATEGORIES OF AIRCRAFT 1. Lighter than Air - Aircraft ascend because it contains a large volume of gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. The most commonly used gases are helium and hot air. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  TWO CLASSES OF LIGHTER-THAN-AIR AIRCRAFT  Balloon ◦ - a balloon is an unpowered aerostat, which remains aloft or floats due to its buoyancy. A balloon may be free, moving with the wind, or tethered to a fixed point. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  Airship - is a type of aerostat or lighter- than-air aircraft that can navigate through the air under its own power. - Inflatable/De-flatable airships are called blimps ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is 2. Rotorcraft It is a heavier-than-air flying machine that uses lift generated by wings, called rotary wings or rotor blades, that revolve around a mast. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  TWO TYPES OF ROTORCRAFT  Helicopter - a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. - Comes from the Greek word “Helix” (spiral/whirl) and “Pteron”(wing) - It is also known as heli, ALIACchopper, helo. PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  Autogyro ◦ - is a type of rotorcraft which uses an unpowered rotor in autorotation to develop lift, and an engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a fixed-wing aircraft, to provide thrust. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's rotor must have air flowing through the rotor disc to generate ALIAC PROPERTY rotation. Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is Glider - is a heavier-than- air aircraft that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its lifting surfaces, and whose free flight does not depend on an engine. ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  2 Types of Glider  Hang Glider  Sailplane ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is 4. Airplane - is a powered, fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is  TYPES OF AIRPLANE  Single engine ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is   Multi-engine ALIAC PROPERTY Unauthorized Reproduction & Dissemination is
