The term feathering refers to the operation of rotating the blades of a propeller to an edge-to-the-wind position for the purpose of stopping the rotation of the propeller whose blades are thus feathered and to reduce drag. Therefore, a feathered blade is an approximate in-line-of-flight position, streamlined with the line of flight. Some, but not all, propellers can be feathered. Feathering is necessary when an engine fails or when it is desirable to shut off an engine in flight. The pressure of the air on the face and back of the feathered blade is equal, and the propeller will stop rotating. If it is not feathered when its engine stops driving it, the propeller will "windmill" and cause drag.  3, record 1, English, - feathering

The term "feathering" refers to the operation of rotating the blades of a propeller to an edge-to-the-wing position for the purpose of stopping the rotation of the propeller whose blades are thus feathered and to reduce drag. Therefore, a feathered blade is in an approximate in-line-of-flight position, streamlined with the line of flight. Some, but not all, propellers can be feathered. Feathering is necessary when an engine fails or when it is desirable to shut off an engine in flight. The pressure of the air on the face and back of the feathered blade is equal, and the propeller will stop rotating. If it is not feathered when its engine stops driving it, the propeller will "windmill" and cause drag. Another advantage of being able to feather a propeller is that a feathered propeller creates less resistance(drag) and disturbance to the flow of air over the wings and tail of the airplane.  3, record 2, English, - feathered%20propeller

Si l'on fait pivoter les pales au-delà de la position normale de grand pas jusqu'à ce que la corde soit parallèle à la direction du vol, de façon à présenter la résistance minimale, on dit que l'hélice est en drapeau. Cette position des pales est particulièrement utile sur un multimoteur, car elle permet de réduire la traînée de l'hélice d'un moteur en panne. Elle offre aussi un moyen commode d'arrêter une hélice et de l'empêcher de tourner «en moulinet»; cela réduit le risque d'aggraver les dommages d'un moteur ayant subi un bris mécanique.  3, record 2, French, - h%C3%A9lice%20en%20drapeau

A direction sign has a black inscription on a yellow background and is used to identify the intersecting taxiways toward which an aircraft is approaching. The sign is, whenever possible, positioned to the left-hand side of the taxiway and prior to the intersection. A direction sign will always contain arrows to indicate the approximate angle of intercept. Direction signs are normally used in combination with location signs to provide the pilot with position information.  1, record 3, English, - direction%20sign

Chaque fois que possible, le panneau est placé du côté gauche de la voie de circulation et avant l’intersection. Il contient toujours des flèches pour indiquer l’angle approximatif de l’intersection.
