FLIGHT RULES
INTERNATIONAL LAW IN AVIATION
by its nature, aviation is one of the most internationalized activities. in the matter of hours, an airplane could switch tens of state jurisdictions. in aviation, all states must speak the same language, and must apply the same rules, which is a sensible matter, because international laws supersede national laws, and international ruling restrict the sovereignity of the states. the chosen language was english, and the aftermath of world war II, all major states of the world signed a contract to apply the same rules. this contract is known the chicago convention, and 190 states are currently adhering to it. the institution which leads and manages this process is the international civil aviation organization (ICAO), based on montreal, canada, with seven regional offices (http://www.icao.int).
romania is currently one of the 360 council members states of ICAO.
There are three sets of criteria generating aircraft categories, and all are managed by ICAO:
- class/ category / type for airworthiness certification of aircraft
- category (speed) for designing flight procedures
- category ( wake turbulence ) for separation requirements between aircraft
this could seem complicated, but an aircraft registered in any of the 190 contracting states needs to be recognized as airworthy in all other states, needs to apply flight procedures in any other state, and must be separated from other aircraft following the same rules in all other states.
WHAT IS GLIDER ?
WHAT IS GLIDER ?
glider is an aircraft heavier than air, flying ability supported by the reaction of the air against the adoptive power (wing) and not dependent on the machine, so the glider is an aircraft without an engine. glider flown by first drawn by the aircraft which in certain cruising speed glider is released in order to fly free. long flights rely on the expertise of the pilots looking for the hot air rising, so the glider could continue broadcasting.
meanwhile, there is another type of aircraft called airship, the aircraft is lighter than air, driven by the engine, and can be steered. different air ship with free balloons (or balloon abbreviated course), the aircraft is lighter than air and is not driven by the engine.
HELICOPTER
ROTOR AIRCRAFT (HELICOPTER)
Rotorcraft (rotorcraft), also known as rotary wing aircraft (totary wing) or helicopters, airplanes are heavier than air. The ability to fly this aircraft depends mainly on the lift generated by one or more rotors. In this rotor is attached a number of blades, made cross-section similar to the cross section of an airplane wing that makes rotor blades swivel motion is moved against the still air and cause lift. So, this rotor aircraft have "wings" that rotates so it is also called airplane rotary wing (rotary wing)
what is aircraft
AIRCRAFT
aircraft is a tool that is used or intended for flight in the air. aircraft includes the aircraft lighter than air. airplane (airplane) is a fixed wing aircraft which is lighter than air and driven by the engine, which can drift due to the dynamic reaction of the air wing. in other words, the airplane is a fixed wing aircraft. wings stretched left and right side of the fuselage. wing to body position on the part of the aircraft can not be changed, but at a fraction wing aircraft (especially aircraft used on the aircraft carrier) can be folded (wing angle to the body can be reduced) in order to save storage space. the size of larger aircraft by itself require a longer wing and wide in order to generate enough lift force to lift the maximum weight of the airplane itself
