Air traffic control

Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based air traffic controllers (people) who direct aircraft on the ground and through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace.

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Air traffic control

Airspeed

In aviation, airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air it is flying through (which itself is usually moving relative to the ground due to wind).

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Airspeed

Altitude

Altitude is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a reference datum and a point or object.

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Altitude

Center of mass

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Center of mass

Drag (physics)

In fluid dynamics, drag, sometimes referred to as fluid resistance, is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object, moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Drag (physics)

Emergency landing

An emergency landing is a premature landing made by an aircraft in response to an emergency involving an imminent or ongoing threat to the safety and operation of the aircraft, or involving a sudden need for a passenger or crew on board to terminate the flight (such as a medical emergency).

See Quebecair Flight 255 and Emergency landing
