An indicator of Availability of Wildlife Habitat on Farmland was developed for the seven main ecozones in which agriculture is practised in Canada.... To construct the indicator, habitat availability matrices were developed for each of the seven ecozones.

The anti-skid system limits the braking on each main wheel independently to allow maximum braking efficiency under all runway conditions.

Le système d'antidérapage règle la pression hydraulique exercée sur les freins par les pilotes. Il fournit l'effort maximal admissible en fonction de la surface de la piste, en essayant de réduire au minimum l'usure des pneus et d'optimiser la distance de freinage. Pour ce faire, l'unité de commande de freinage calcule la vitesse de rotation des roues selon les signaux envoyés par les quatre transducteurs de vitesse. Lorsque la vitesse de rotation d'une des roues est inférieure à la moyenne de vitesse de rotation des autres roues, il y a probablement dérapage, et la pression exercée sur le frein est relâchée. La vitesse de rotation de la roue revient ensuite à la vitesse moyenne, et le freinage normal est rétabli. 5, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27antid%C3%A9rapage

The turn coordinator is really two instruments. The gyro portion shows the aircraft’s rate of turn--how fast it’s changing direction.

Plusieurs avions modernes sont équipés d'un coordonnateur de virage. Cet instrument remplace l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. Il fonctionne sur le même principe, mais certaines particularités de construction lui permettent de réagir non seulement au lacet mais aussi au roulis. Plutôt que de tourner autour de son axe horizontal, comme le fait l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale, le gyroscope est incliné d'environ 35 degrés. Ainsi, lors d'un mouvement autour des axes de roulis et de lacet, la précession fait rouler légèrement le mécanisme du gyroscope. Le cardan est relié à un avion miniature sur la face de l'instrument. Le petit avion s'incline pour indiquer au pilote les taux de roulis et de lacet.[...] La bille donne les mêmes indications que celles de l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. 3, record 4, French, - coordonnateur%20de%20virage

Centrale de cap et de verticale pour avion. Une centrale est constituée d'un gyro-indicateur de verticale et d'un gyroscope directionnel garde-cap. La direction par rapport au nord du moment cinétique du gyroscope directionnel est repérée juste avant le départ de l'avion à l'aide d'un gyroscope de transfert. Un gyroscope de verticale asservit une plate-forme autour de deux axes parallèles aux axes de roulis et de tangage de l'avion. Cette plate-forme délivre les références de roulis et assiette longitudinale et supporte un gyroscope directionnel qui fonctionne en garde-cap. La plate-forme asservie est constituée d'un cadre de roulis extérieur et de deux cadres de tangage liés mécaniquement. À l'intérieur du premier cadre de tangage est placé le gyroscope de verticale, à l'intérieur du second le gyroscope directionnel [...] 1, record 13, French, - cadre%20de%20roulis

Turn and slip indicator. The instrument is composed of two components. The turn needle is an electrically driven gyroscope which indicates the rate of turn. The marks (often called the doghouse) on either side of center represents a bank angle of 15 degrees. ... The glass level containing the black ball is called the inclinometer. It provides the pilot with a measure of the turn quality. During both straight and level flight and during turns the ball should stay centered. The turn and slip indicator acts as a partial backup to the attitude indicator in that it shows rate of turn. 8, record 14, English, - turn%2Dand%2Dslip%20indicator

bille-aiguille : Instrument électrique indiquant si l'avion est en virage à gauche ou à droite. Le bas de l'instrument est équipé d'une bille qui évolue dans un liquide amortisseur; celle-ci permet de contrôler l'absence de «dérapage» de l'avion durant un virage. Aux limites, un fort dérapage sous facteur de charge peut entraîner un décrochage. La coordination s'obtient en agissant avec les pieds sur les palonniers. 9, record 14, French, - indicateur%20bille%2Daiguille
