Flight Management Systems. FMS is the term used to describe an integrated system that uses navigation, atmospheric and fuel flow data from several sensors to provide a centralized control system for flight planning, and flight and fuel management. The system processes navigation data to calculate and update a best-computed position based on the known system accuracy and reliability of the input sensors. 5, record 1, English, - flight%20management%20system

En actionnant les diverses gouvernes de l’avion au travers des équipements du système de commande vol, le pilote est capable de diriger et d’orienter son appareil en fonction des besoins ou des phases de vol. Le système de commandes de vol sait dialoguer avec les autres systèmes de l’avion (suivi de terrain, pilote automatique, ...). Les commandes de vol électriques suppriment toute timonerie entre le pilote et les gouvernes, cela permet de piloter des avions naturellement instables, comme le Mirage 2000 et le Rafale, leur conférant ainsi une grande maniabilité. 3, record 4, French, - circuit%20de%20commandes%20de%20vol

Inspiré du «Habitat Suitability Index(HSI) », élaboré aux États-Unis, l'indice de qualité de l'habitat(IQH) est un modèle mathématique qui permet d’évaluer, pour une espèce faunique, la valeur en tant qu'habitats(milieu dans lequel une espèce animale donnée trouve, en quantité suffisante, les éléments biologiques et physiques nécessaires à sa survie et à sa reproduction) d’une série de peuplements forestiers. L'IQH ne sous-entend pas une certaine densité de population pour chaque classe d’habitat, c'est-à-dire que l'IQH ne donne pas une projection de la densité d’individus possible que l'on peut trouver dans un peuplement, mais il détermine la valeur de ce peuplement en termes d’habitats pour certaines espèces. 4, record 6, French, - indice%20de%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27habitat

Numerical Habitat Models (NHM) have been developed to predict fish habitat quantity, quality and distribution under different flow regimes found in rivers. These models depend on the estimation of an Habitat Quality Index (HQI) at the scale of fish microhabitat. One of the problems of NHM is that mathematical constructs to estimate HQI in one river may not be applicable to other rivers. Hence, HQI are not transferable among rivers. The most common measures of HQI are based on indices of preference of fish for specific ranges of water depth, current speed and substrate composition (referred to as Habitat Suitability Indices; HSI). 5, record 7, English, - habitat%20quality%20index

Inspiré du «Habitat Suitability Index(HSI) », élaboré aux États-Unis, l'indice de qualité de l'habitat(IQH) est un modèle mathématique qui permet d’évaluer, pour une espèce faunique, la valeur en tant qu'habitats(milieu dans lequel une espèce animale donnée trouve, en quantité suffisante, les éléments biologiques et physiques nécessaires à sa survie et à sa reproduction) d’une série de peuplements forestiers. L'IQH ne sous-entend pas une certaine densité de population pour chaque classe d’habitat, c'est-à-dire que l'IQH ne donne pas une projection de la densité d’individus possible que l'on peut trouver dans un peuplement, mais il détermine la valeur de ce peuplement en termes d’habitats pour certaines espèces. 1, record 7, French, - indice%20de%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27habitat
