Section 1.1

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)
Mach number means the ratio of true
airspeed to the speed of sound.
Main rotor means the rotor that supplies the principal lift to a rotorcraft.
Maintenance means inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation, and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.
Major alteration means an alteration
not listed in the aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller specifications - 
(1) That might appreciably affect
weight, balance, structural strength,
performance, powerplant operation,
flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness; or
(2) That is not done according to accepted practices or cannot be done by
elementary operations.
Major repair means a repair:
(1) That, if improperly done, might
appreciably affect weight, balance,
structural strength, performance, powerplant operation, flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness; or
(2) That is not done according to accepted practices or cannot be done by
elementary operations.
Manifold pressure means absolute
pressure as measured at the appropriate point in the induction system
and usually expressed in inches of mercury.
Maximum engine overtorque, as it applies to turbopropeller and turboshaft
engines incorporating free power turbines for all ratings except one engine
inoperative (OEI) ratings of two minutes or less, means the maximum
torque of the free power turbine rotor
assembly, the inadvertent occurrence
of which, for periods of up to 20 seconds, will not require rejection of the
engine from service, or any maintenance action other than to correct the
cause.Maximum speed for stability characteristics, VFC/MFC means a speed that
may not be less than a speed midway
between maximum operating limit
speed (VMO/MMO) and demonstrated
flight diving speed (VDF/MDF), except
that, for altitudes where the Mach
number is the limiting factor, MFC need
not exceed the Mach number at which
effective speed warning occurs.
Medical certificate means acceptable
evidence of physical fitness on a form
prescribed by the Administrator.

under standard atmospheric conditions
at sea level.
(3) A maximum never-exceed speed
(VNE) of not more than 120 knots CAS
for a glider.
(4) A maximum stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed without the
use of lift-enhancing devices (VS1) of
not more than 45 knots CAS at the aircraft-s maximum certificated takeoff
weight and most critical center of
gravity.
(5) A maximum seating capacity of
no more than two persons, including
the pilot.
(6) A single, reciprocating engine, if
powered.
(7) A fixed or ground-adjustable propeller if a powered aircraft other than
a powered glider.
(8) A fixed or feathering propeller
system if a powered glider.
(9) A fixed-pitch, semi-rigid, teetering, two-blade rotor system, if a gyroplane.
(10) A nonpressurized cabin, if
equipped with a cabin.
(11) Fixed landing gear, except for an
aircraft intended for operation on
water or a glider.
(12) Fixed or retractable landing
gear, or a hull, for an aircraft intended
for operation on water.
(13) Fixed or retractable landing gear
for a glider.
Lighter-than-air aircraft means aircraft that can rise and remain suspended by using contained gas weighing less than the air that is displaced
by the gas.
Load factor means the ratio of a specified load to the total weight of the aircraft. The specified load is expressed in
terms of any of the following: aerodynamic forces, inertia forces, or
ground or water reactions.
Long-range
communication
system
(LRCS). A system that uses satellite
relay, data link, high frequency, or another approved communication system
which extends beyond line of sight.
Long-range navigation system (LRNS).
An electronic navigation unit that is
approved for use under instrument
flight rules as a primary means of navigation, and has at least one source of
navigational input, such as inertial
navigation system or global positioning system.
