surface of the earth until it touches it
at the next point of landing.
Traffic pattern means the traffic flow
that is prescribed for aircraft landing
at, taxiing on, or taking off from, an
airport.
True airspeed means the airspeed of
an aircraft relative to undisturbed air.
True airspeed is equal to equivalent
airspeed multiplied by (r0/r)1-2.
Type:
(1) As used with respect to the certification, ratings, privileges, and limitations of airmen, means a specific
make and basic model of aircraft, including modifications thereto that do
not change its handling or flight characteristics. Examples include: DC-7,
1049, and F-27; and
(2) As used with respect to the certification of aircraft, means those aircraft which are similar in design. Examples include: DC-7 and DC-7C; 1049G
and 1049H; and F-27 and F-27F.
(3) As used with respect to the certification of aircraft engines means
those engines which are similar in design. For example, JT8D and JT8D-7
are engines of the same type, and
JT9D-3A and JT9D-7 are engines of the
same type.
United States, in a geographical sense,
means (1) the States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the possessions, including the territorial waters,
and (2) the airspace of those areas.
United States air carrier means a citizen of the United States who undertakes directly by lease, or other arrangement, to engage in air transportation.
Unmanned aircraft means an aircraft
operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within
or on the aircraft.
VFR over-the-top, with respect to the
operation of aircraft, means the operation of an aircraft over-the-top under
VFR when it is not being operated on
an IFR flight plan.
Warning area. A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending
from 3 nautical miles outward from the
coast of the United States, that contains activity that may be hazardous
to nonparticipating aircraft. The purpose of such warning areas is to warn
nonparticipating pilots of the potential
danger. A warning area may be located

over domestic or international waters
or both.
Weight-shift-control aircraft means a
powered aircraft with a framed pivoting wing and a fuselage controllable
only in pitch and roll by the pilot-s
ability to change the aircraft-s center
of gravity with respect to the wing.
Flight control of the aircraft depends
on the wing-s ability to flexibly deform
rather than the use of control surfaces.
Winglet or tip fin means an out-ofplane surface extending from a lifting
surface. The surface may or may not
have control surfaces.
