14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

power that is producible from sea level
to an established higher altitude.
Amateur rocket means an unmanned
rocket that:
(1) Is propelled by a motor or motors
having a combined total impulse of
889,600 Newton-seconds (200,000 poundseconds) or less; and
(2) Cannot reach an altitude greater
than 150 kilometers (93.2 statute miles)
above the earth-s surface.
Appliance means any instrument,
mechanism, equipment, part, apparatus, appurtenance, or accessory, including communications equipment,
that is used or intended to be used in
operating or controlling an aircraft in
flight, is installed in or attached to the
aircraft, and is not part of an airframe,
engine, or propeller.
Approved, unless used with reference
to another person, means approved by
the FAA or any person to whom the
FAA has delegated its authority in the
matter concerned, or approved under
the provisions of a bilateral agreement
between the United States and a foreign country or jurisdiction.
Area navigation (RNAV) is a method
of navigation that permits aircraft operations on any desired flight path.
Area navigation (RNAV) route is an
ATS route based on RNAV that can be
used by suitably equipped aircraft.
Armed Forces means the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast
Guard, including their regular and reserve components and members serving
without component status.
Autorotation means a rotorcraft flight
condition in which the lifting rotor is
driven entirely by action of the air
when the rotorcraft is in motion.
Auxiliary rotor means a rotor that
serves either to counteract the effect of
the main rotor torque on a rotorcraft
or to maneuver the rotorcraft about
one or more of its three principal axes.
Balloon means a lighter-than-air aircraft that is not engine driven, and
that sustains flight through the use of
either gas buoyancy or an airborne
heater.
Brake horsepower means the power delivered at the propeller shaft (main
drive or main output) of an aircraft engine.
Calibrated airspeed means the indicated airspeed of an aircraft, corrected

for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea
level.
Canard means the forward wing of a
canard configuration and may be a
fixed, movable, or variable geometry
surface, with or without control surfaces.
Canard configuration means a configuration in which the span of the forward
wing is substantially less than that of
the main wing.
Category:
(1) As used with respect to the certification, ratings, privileges, and limitations of airmen, means a broad classification of aircraft. Examples include: airplane; rotorcraft; glider; and
lighter-than-air; and
(2) As used with respect to the certification of aircraft, means a grouping
of aircraft based upon intended use or
operating limitations. Examples include: transport, normal, utility, acrobatic, limited, restricted, and provisional.
Category A, with respect to transport
category rotorcraft, means multiengine rotorcraft designed with engine
and system isolation features specified
in Part 29 and utilizing scheduled takeoff and landing operations under a critical engine failure concept which
assures adequate designated surface
area and adequate performance capability for continued safe flight in the
event of engine failure.
Category B, with respect to transport
category rotorcraft, means single-engine or multiengine rotorcraft which
do not fully meet all Category A standards. Category B rotorcraft have no
guaranteed stay-up ability in the event
of engine failure and unscheduled landing is assumed.
Category II operations, with respect to
the operation of aircraft, means a
straight-in ILS approach to the runway
of an airport under a Category II ILS
instrument approach procedure issued
by the Administrator or other appropriate authority.
Category III operations, with respect
to the operation of aircraft, means an
ILS approach to, and landing on, the
runway of an airport using a Category
III ILS instrument approach procedure
