Section 1.1

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

flight conditions having the full range
of capabilities of the systems installed
in the device as described in part 60 of
this chapter and the qualification performance standard (QPS) for a specific
FTD qualification level.
Flight visibility means the average forward horizontal distance, from the
cockpit of an aircraft in flight, at
which prominent unlighted objects
may be seen and identified by day and
prominent lighted objects may be seen
and identified by night.
Foreign air carrier means any person
other than a citizen of the United
States, who undertakes directly, by
lease or other arrangement, to engage
in air transportation.
Foreign air commerce means the carriage by aircraft of persons or property
for compensation or hire, or the carriage of mail by aircraft, or the operation or navigation of aircraft in the
conduct or furtherance of a business or
vocation, in commerce between a place
in the United States and any place outside thereof; whether such commerce
moves wholly by aircraft or partly by
aircraft and partly by other forms of
transportation.
Foreign air transportation means the
carriage by aircraft of persons or property as a common carrier for compensation or hire, or the carriage of
mail by aircraft, in commerce between
a place in the United States and any
place outside of the United States,
whether that commerce moves wholly
by aircraft or partly by aircraft and
partly by other forms of transportation.
Forward wing means a forward lifting
surface of a canard configuration or
tandem-wing configuration airplane.
The surface may be a fixed, movable, or
variable geometry surface, with or
without control surfaces.
Full flight simulator (FFS) means a
replica of a specific type; or make,
model, and series aircraft cockpit. It
includes the assemblage of equipment
and computer programs necessary to
represent aircraft operations in ground
and flight conditions, a visual system
providing an out-of-the-cockpit view, a
system that provides cues at least
equivalent to those of a three-degreeof-freedom motion system, and has the
full range of capabilities of the systems

installed in the device as described in
part 60 of this chapter and the qualification performance standards (QPS)
for a specific FFS qualification level.
Glider means a heavier-than-air aircraft, that is supported in flight by the
dynamic reaction of the air against its
lifting surfaces and whose free flight
does not depend principally on an engine.
Ground visibility means prevailing
horizontal visibility near the earth-s
surface as reported by the United
States National Weather Service or an
accredited observer.
Go-around power or thrust setting
means the maximum allowable inflight power or thrust setting identified in the performance data.
Gyrodyne means a rotorcraft whose
rotors are normally engine-driven for
takeoff, hovering, and landing, and for
forward flight through part of its speed
range, and whose means of propulsion,
consisting usually of conventional propellers, is independent of the rotor system.
Gyroplane means a rotorcraft whose
rotors are not engine-driven, except for
initial starting, but are made to rotate
by action of the air when the rotorcraft
is moving; and whose means of propulsion, consisting usually of conventional propellers, is independent of the
rotor system.
Helicopter means a rotorcraft that,
for its horizontal motion, depends principally on its engine-driven rotors.
Heliport means an area of land, water,
or structure used or intended to be
used for the landing and takeoff of helicopters.
Idle thrust means the jet thrust obtained with the engine power control
level set at the stop for the least thrust
position at which it can be placed.
IFR conditions means weather conditions below the minimum for flight
under visual flight rules.
IFR over-the-top, with respect to the
operation of aircraft, means the operation of an aircraft over-the-top on an
IFR flight plan when cleared by air
traffic control to maintain  - VFR conditions -  or  - VFR conditions on top - .
Indicated airspeed means the speed of
an aircraft as shown on its pitot static
airspeed indicator calibrated to reflect
