Pour organiser une réunion «écologique», il s'agit d'adopter une approche axée sur la prévention de la pollution et de tenir compte des considérations relatives à l'environnement à chaque étape du processus organisationnel. Ceci signifie qu'il faut privilégier les téléconférences, dans la mesure du possible. Si on estime qu'une conférence, une réunion en personne ou un atelier est plus approprié, il faut alors considérer le lieu de rencontre, les types de services contractuels et même le mode de transport des participants. 3, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9union%20%C3%A9cologique

The HSI, or Horizontal Navigation Indicator or Pictorial Navigation Indicator, is perhaps one of the most useful although misunderstood instruments around... it combines your directional gyro and Nav indicator into one instrument that reduces pilot workload by providing heading, course reference, course deviation and glide slope information all in one visual aid... You may also consider a slaved HSI. Slaving automatically compensates for gyro heading errors and keeps your HSI in agreement with your compass. It uses a magnetic flux sensor mounted in the wing or tail of your aircraft to sense changes in magnetic heading and sends corrective signals to your HSI. 2, record 8, English, - directional%20heading
