TCAS
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System installed in commerical jets to search for and alert pilots to the presence of other aircraft. More advanced versions of TCAS also advise pilots on actions to take to avoid aircraft that are getting too close. |
Terminal Control Area (TCA)
A designated zone around and above the busiest airports. Flight in TCAs carries stringent requirements for pilot experience, aircraft equipment and communications capability. |
Thrust
The force produced by a jet engine or propeller. As defined by Newtonian physics, it is the forward reaction to the rearward movement of a jet exhaust. |
TRACON
Stands for terminal radar approach control facility. It controls aircraft immediately after and prior to landings and takeoffs, or during the climb and approach phases of flight. |
Transponder
An electronic device that "responds" to interrogation by ground-based radar with a special four-digit code that specifically identifies the aircraft on which it is located. Certain transponders have the ability to transmit automatically the altitude of the aircraft in addition to the special code. |
Turbofan
A type of jet engine in which a certain portion of the engine´s airflow bypasses the combustion chamber. |
Turbojet
The original designation for a "pure" jet engine whose power is solely the result of its jet exhaust. |
Turboprop
A type of engine that uses a jet engine to turn a propeller. Turboprops are often used on regional and business aircraft because of their relative efficiency at speeds slower than, and altitudes lower than, those of a typical jet. |
