SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS & TERMINOLOGY GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY & SYMBOLS ૐ GS KCAS KIAS KTAS Acceleration due to gravity. - GROUND SPEED - Speed of an airplane relative to the ground. - KNOTS CALIBRATED AIRSPEED The indicated speed of an aircraft, corrected for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. KNOTS INDICATED AIRSPEED - The speed of an aircraft as shown on its airspeed indicator. IAS values published in this handbook assume zero instrument error. KNOTS TRUE AIRSPEED - The airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air. 1-6 ISSUED 10-12-84 SECTION I GENERAL MOONEY M20J Va Vfe Vle Vlo Vne Vno Vs Vso Vx MANEUVERING SPEED - The maximum speed at which application of full available aerodynamic control will not overstress the airplane. MAXIMUM FLAP EXTENDED SPEED - The highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. MAXIMUM LANDING GEAR EXTENDED SPEED - The maximum speed at which an aircraft can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. MAXIMUM LANDING GEAR OPERATING SPEED The maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted. - The NEVER EXCEED SPEED or MACH NUMBER speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. MAXIMUM STRUCTURAL CRUISING SPEED - The speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution. STALLING SPEED - The minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. STALLING SPEED - The minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration. BEST ANGLE-OF-CLIMB SPEED - The airspeed which delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance. Vy BEST RATE-OF-CLIMB SPEED - The 1-7 ISSUED 10-12-84 SECTION I GENERAL MOONEY M20J airspeed which delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time with gear and flaps up. ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP BRAKE HORSEPOWER by the engine. - The power developed MCP MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS POWER - The maximum MP RPM NRP power for takeoff, normal, abnormal or emergency operations. MANIFOLD PRESSURE - Pressure measured in the engine's induction system and is expressed in inches of mercury (Hg). REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE - Engine speed. NORMAL RATED POWER. AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Demon- strated Crosswind Velocity The velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during takeoff and landing test was actually demonstrated during certification. The value shown is not considered to be limiting. Service The maximum altitude at which aircraft Ceiling at gross weight has the capability of climbing at the rate of 100 ft/min. ENGINE CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS TERMINOLOGY Propeller The control used to select engine Control speed. Throttle Control Mixture Control 1-B The control used to select engine power, from the lowest through the highest power settings. Provides a mechanical linkage to the fuel injector mixture control to ISSUED 10-12-84 Rev A 2-17-88 SECTION I GENERAL MOONEY M20J control the size of the fuel feed aperture, and therefore the air/fuel mixture. It is the primary method to shut the engine down. Tachometer An instrument that indicates rotational speed of the engine. The speed is shown as propeller revolutions per minute (RPM). Propeller Governor: AGL Density Altitude Indicated Pressure Altitude ISA The device that regulates the RPM of the engine/propeller by increasing or decreasing the propeller pitch, through a pitch change mechanism in the propeller hub. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY Above ground level. Altitude as determined by pressure altitude and existing ambient temperature. In standard atmosphere (ISA) density and presure altitude are equal. For a given pressure altitude, the higher the temperature, the higher the density altitude. The number actually read from an altimeter when, and only when, the barometric subscale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 millibars, INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ATMOSPHERE assumes that (1) The air is a dry perfect gas; (2) The temperature at sea Level is 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees F); (3) The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Rg (1913.2 mb); (4) The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5 degrees C (-69.7 degrees F) is -0.00198 degrees C (-0.003564 degrees F) per foot. OAT OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE - The free air ISSUED 10-12-84 1-9 Pressure Altitude Station Pressure Arm Basic Empty Weight Center of Gravity (0.6.) C.G. Arm C.G. in percent MAC C.G. Limits SECTION I GENERAL MOONEY M20J static temperature, obtained either from inflight temperature indications or ground meteorological sources. It is expressed in degrees Celsius (previously Centigrade). The indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. The actual weight of the airplane and includes all operating equipment including optional equipment) that has a fixed location and is actually installed in the aircraft. It includes the weight of the unusable fuel and full oil. The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane. The arm obtained by adding the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. Center of Gravity expressed in percent of mean aerodynamic chord. The extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane must be operated at a given weight. 1-10 ISSUED 10-12-84 MAC Maximum Weight Moment Reference Datum Station Tare Unusable Fuel Usable Fuel Useful Load SECTION I GENERAL MOONEY M20J Mean Aerodynamic Chord. The maximum authorized weight of the aircraft and its contents as listed in the aircraft specifications. The product of the weight of an item multiplied by its arm. (Moment divided by a constant is used to simplify balance calculations by reducing the number of digits.) An imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. A Location along the airplane fuselage usually given in terms of distance from the reference datum. The weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when weighing an airplane, and is included in the scale readings. Tare is deducted from the scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight. Fuel remaining after a runout test has been completed in accordance with governmental regulations. Fuel available for airplane propulsion. The basic empty weight subtracted from the maximum weight of the aircaft. This load consists of the pilot, crew if applicable, fuel, passengers, and baggage.
