The aircraft classification number is calculated with respect to the center of gravity(CG) position which yields the critical loading on the critical gear. Normally the aftmost CG position appropriate to the maximum gross apron(ramp) mass is used to calculate the ACN. In exceptional cases the forwardmost CG position may result in the nose gear loading being more critical. 2, record 5, English, - aircraft%20classification%20number
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
ACNs are expressed on a scale from approximately 5 (least demanding aircraft) to 110 (most demanding aircraft). ACNs are applicable only to aircraft having an apron (ramp) mass equal to or greater than 12 600 lb. ACNs have been assigned to present-day aircraft at their maximum and minimum operating masses/weights and at a specific tire pressure. The ACN should not exceed the pavement classification number (PCN) for unrestricted aircraft operations. The ICAO ACN system is the internationally approved and accepted method for ranking aircraft in terms of their pavement-strength requirements. 3, record 5, English, - aircraft%20classification%20number

Des ACN ont été attribués aux aéronefs actuels pour une masse maximale et minimale d'exploitation et une pression des pneus précise. L'ACN ne devrait pas être supérieur au numéro de classification de chaussée (PCN) dans le cas de chaussées pouvant être utilisées sans restriction.

Simply stated, convergence is defined as the increase of mass within a given layer of the atmosphere, while divergence is the decrease of mass within a given layer of the atmosphere.... Divergence. Winds in this situation produce a net flow of air outward from the layer. We associate this type of divergence with high-pressure cells, where the flow of air is directed outward from the center, causing a downward motion. Divergence, too, is classified as either horizontal or vertical. 3, record 15, English, - divergence

The variation of the direction in space is a conical motion, with vertex at the center of mass, around a perpendicular to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, in which the earth and the axis of rotation move together with no change in the position of the axis within the earth. This motion is caused by the gravitational attractions of the sun and the moon. The axis describes a sinuous conical surface at an irregularly varying rate; the motion is, therefore, represented as the resultant of a steady progressive motion in a circular cone of angular opening about 47°, called the "lunisolar precession"... 3, record 19, English, - lunisolar%20precession

Prefrontal(warm front) fogs occur in stable continental polar(cP) air masses when precipitating warm air overrides the colder air. The rain raises the dewpoint in the cP air mass sufficiently for fog formation. Generally, the wind speeds are light, and the area most conducive to the formation of this type of fog is one between a nearby secondary low and the primary low-pressure center. The northeastern area of the United States is probably the most prevalent region for this type of fog.

The X axis runs horizontally, the Y axis vertically, and the locations within the plane are described using (X, Y) pairs. The X value describes the horizontal location of the point, and the Y value describes the vertical location.

Ainsi nommées en l'honneur de René Descartes («Je pense donc je suis»), les coordonnées cartésiennes sont basées sur un quadrillage arbitraire avec origine (0, 0) à l'angle inférieur gauche et des valeurs croissantes le long des axes X e t Y. L'axe des X est horizontal, l'axe des Y vertical et les positions dans le plan sont identifiées au moyen de paires de valeurs (X, Y). Les coordonnées cartésiennes sont parfois dites coordonnées planes parce qu'elles permettent d'indiquer la position de points dans un plan.

The chief cause of precession, causing the card to creep or drift, is bearing friction. Normal movement of the gimbal rings produces friction, which is increased if the bearings are worn, dirty, or improperly lubricated. Other sources of precession error include unbalanced gyro components and the effect of the earth’s rotation.

The acceleration-sensitive torque caused by radial unbalance due to noncoincidence of the flexure axis and the center of mass of the rotor. Under constant acceleration, it appears as a rotating torque at the rotor spin frequency. When the gyro is subjected to vibratory acceleration along the spin axis at the spin frequency, this torque results in a rectified drift. 2, record 36, English, - radial%2Dunbalance%20torque

Gyroscope drift rate effects are usually classified into three groups. The first group is independent of applied acceleration... The second group includes effects proportional to translational acceleration. This group covers such things as static unbalance of the inner gimbal assembly, i. e., the displacement between the center of support or buoyancy and the center of mass. 4, record 37, English, - translational%20acceleration

We prefer the term "cross-under" because it helps us to stay ski focused rather than body focused. When we think "cross-under", we have a better understanding of the skis accelerating under the hips and the feet going further than the center of mass.
