Record 2 2017-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

As the aircraft nears the OMNI station,(½ mile) the zone of confusion will direct an "S" turn in alternate directions as the OMNI indicator needle swings. This alternate banking, is an indication that station passage is imminent.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvres d'aéronefs
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

La distance totale de vol suivant le début de la descente est ajustée selon les instructions du CTA qui maintient la distance requise entre tous les avions en approche finale. Pour ce faire, les avions doivent être dirigés pour se tourner vers le LOC (extension de la ligne centrale de la piste) à différentes distances de la piste. Ceci peut entraîner un certain nombre de manœuvres comme un virage ou un double virage en S, pour retarder l'opération si nécessaire.

Record 3 2015-12-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
DEF

A vertical needle incorporated into an OMNI [omnidirectional]/ILS [instrument landing system] indicator to show deviation from the selected VOR [very high frequency omni-directional range] course or radial.

CONT

The course deviation indicator will remain centered as long as the airplane is actually on the radial indicated on the bearing selector. If the airplane is off course to the right of the radial, the CDI will swing to the left of centre. If the airplane is off course to the left of the radial, the CDI will swing to the right of centre. In other words, the CDI points in the direction in which the radial lies.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

L'indicateur d'écart de route reste centré aussi longtemps que l'avion se trouve précisément sur la radiale affichée sur le sélecteur d'azimut (OBS). Si l'avion s'écarte à la droite de la radiale, l'indicateur se déplace vers la gauche (c.-à-d. de l'autre côté de la ligne du centre). Si l'avion s'écarte à la gauche de la radiale, l'indicateur se déplace vers la droite. Autrement dit, l'indicateur d'écart de route pointe en direction de l'endroit où se trouve la radiale.

OBS

indicateur d'écart de route : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.

... An omni or non-directional microphone is sensitive to sound waves arriving from all directions.

CONT

An omnidirectional microphone is one that is designed to be equally sensitive to sounds coming from all directions. The pickup pattern of an "omni" mike is thus described as circular. Actually, it's spherical. These mikes work well for picking up a single sound sporce in another wise quiet environment, or for picking the total sound from several sources, if there is no need to have separate control over the volume of any individual source.... omnidirectional microphones are best used when it's desirable to pick up all the sounds in a given environment.
