Mid Air Collision
Hold short
Do not enter or cross the taxiway or runway specified by the controller. If there is a painted hold line, do not cross it.
Steady green
Cleared to land Cleared for takeoff
Carburetor icing
affects engines with carburetors, and air intake blockage, which affects both carbureted and fuelinjected engines.
Spatial Disorientation
Spatial disorientation is an erroneous sense or mistaken perception of one's position and motion relative to the earth.
TRSA
Terminal Radar Service Areas areas where participating pilots can receive additional radar services. The purpose of the service is to provide separation between all IFR operations and participating VFR aircraft.
Flashing green
Cleared for taxi or Return for landing (to be followed by steady green at the proper time)
Propeller Anti-icers:
Ice often forms on the propeller before it is visible on the wing. Props are treated with deicing fluid applied by slinger rings on the prop hub or with electrically heated elements on the leading edges.
Weeping wing
Deicing systems pump fluid from a reservoir through a mesh screen embedded in the leading edges of the wings and tail. depend on airflow as well, and if the primary air intake ices, an alternate air door either opens automatically
Wing Deicer, and Anti-icing Systems
There is presently one type of wing deicer—boots—and two anti-icing systems—weeping wing systems (fluid
deice systems) and heated wings—that are commonly used in general aviation today.
