• A measure of how safe an environment is based on statistical data.

• An individual's ability to perform safety drills effectively.

• The level of training received in safety protocols.

Base Leg

• A short descending flight path at right angles to the approach end extended centerline of the landing runway.

• A horizontal flight path parallel to the runway during landing.

• The final approach segment before touchdown on the runway.

• A vertical climb path after takeoff from the runway.

Aeronautical Decision-Making

• A systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to determine the best course of action in response to circumstances.

• A method for calculating flight paths based on weather conditions.

• A technique for managing in-flight passenger services effectively.

• A strategy for reducing fuel consumption during flights.

Person Manipulating the Controls

• A person who is solely responsible for the flight of an sUAS

• A person other than the remote pilot in command (Remote PIC) who is controlling the flight of an sUAS under the supervision of the Remote PIC

• A person who is observing the flight without any control

• A person who is training the Remote PIC on how to operate the sUAS

Resignation

• A feeling of joy and excitement about the future.

• An attitude where a person accepts something undesirable but inevitable.

• A strong desire to change one's circumstances.

• A state of confusion and uncertainty.

Departure Leg

• The flight path during landing that leads to the runway.

• The climbing flight path along the extended runway centerline, beginning at takeoff and continuing to at least a half mile beyond the runway’s departure end, not less than 300 feet below the traffic pattern altitude.

• The horizontal flight path after takeoff until reaching cruising altitude.

• The descent path taken when approaching the airport.

Safety Discipline

• Behavior of always being vigilant about following safety protocols.

• Ignoring safety rules to save time.

• Following safety protocols only when being observed.

• Occasionally checking safety equipment.

Sectional Aeronautical Chart

• Primary navigational reference medium used by the VFR community.

• A type of weather forecasting tool.

• An instrument for measuring altitude.

• A chart used exclusively for IFR navigation.

Visual-Line-of-Sight (VLOS)

• The pilot’s ability to see an aircraft from the ground well enough to control it, without the use of artificial visual aids

• The use of radar to track an aircraft's position

• The ability to control an aircraft using only instruments

• The requirement for pilots to maintain a certain altitude during flight

Tin

• Process of covering something with a thin layer of solder.

• A type of metal used in construction.

• A method of recycling materials.
