ALTITUDE ACQUISITION [8 records]

Record 1 2010-04-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

An altitude alerting system gives audible and visual indication of approaching an altitude(acquisition) or departing from an altitude(deviation). In the acquisition mode, a chord tone will sound momentarily and the alert lights will illuminate when passing through a point approximately 1000 feet above or below the selected altitude.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
OBS

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

Record 2 2004-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

The initial acquisition is accomplished by scanning the range gate through the altitude range.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
OBS

Dans [un radar pulse-Doppler], l'information-distance est perdue dans le filtrage et doit être restituée artificiellement par des "portes" distance préexistant dans le récepteur.

Record 3 2003-03-28

English

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

The selected altitude legend "ASEL" above the altitude scale is used to present selected altitude acquisition, capture, and deviation alerts to the pilot. The selected altitude legend is displayed in cyan when the selected altitude is first set.

PHR

Altitude acquisition mode, system.

CONT

Au cours de cette journée, la commission a procédé à l'écoute de la bande de télémesure enregistrée pendant le vol de l'accident ainsi qu'à des essais au simulateur de développement de l'Airbus A330 en conditions d'utilisation normales et en conditions similaires à celles du vol du 30 juin. À cette occasion, elle a élaboré les premières recommandations qu'elle estimait devoir formuler concernant le mode d'acquisition d'altitude du pilote automatique.

Record 4 2002-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
DEF

The interval time a sample-hold circuit needs to acquire the input signal within the stated accuracy.

CONT

Acquisition time is limited to less than 1 second for any altitude by a scanning range gate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Guía radárica, radioguía y radiogoniometría
DEF

Intervalo de tiempo que necesita un circuito de muestreo-espera para obtener la señal de entrada con la precisión requerida.

OBS

En especificaciones tradicionales, incluye el tiempo de instalación del amplificador de salida. En algunos casos se puede obtener una señal por completo (y el circuito conmutado en espera) antes de que la salida esté instalada. La salida del muestreo-espera no es significativa hasta haber sido instalada.

Record 6 2002-07-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Navigation Instruments
  • Electronic Measurements
  • Applications of Electronics
CONT

Accurate positioning of the aircraft is essential during image acquisition. Accuracy of ± 1 m is achieved using a DGPS. Downelling irradiance is recorded so as to take into account the space-time variations in the solar altitude and the transparency of the atmosphere that occurs during image acquisition. A gyroscopic sensor records the data needed to correct the geometric distortions of the images. These distortions are due to variations in the attitude of the aircraft(essentially the roll). The ground resolution depends on the altitude from which the images are collected.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de navigation
  • Mesures électroniques
  • Applications de l'électronique
CONT

Car Navigation. Ce système peut localiser l'endroit précis où vous vous trouvez grâce au système mondial de localisation GPS, à un capteur gyroscopique intégré et à un indicateur de vitesse à étalonnage automatique. Le système de navigation mobile se sert de techniques de pointe pour déterminer votre emplacement exact sur la carte.
