Okay, so if anyone can define these terms, or even one for me, that'd be cool:

1) NDB
2) VOR
3) Intersection
4) Bravo Airspace (or any other letter)
5) Aileron
6) Pilot/Probe Heat (are they the same thing?)

-More may come later

A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) is a radio broadcast station in a known location, used as an aviation or marine navigational aid

VOR, short for VHF Omni-directional Radio Range, is a type of radio navigation system for aircraft.

that's just some.

tip look at Wikipedia.

Alright, thanks for the two def's  8-) Anyone know the others?

1)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-directional_beacon

2)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHF_omnidirectional_range

3)couldnt find much on an intersection - pretty much what it sounds like  ;D

4)Airspaces are critical to air safety to keep planes controlled properly in the busy skies of today.

5)Aileron is the control surface on the tips of the wings used for roll.

3. Intersection  Where 2 airways meet.   its pretty simple.  Its just where jet airways meet.  Just like the roads in your town meet, so do the airways up there  ;D

4. Bravo Airspace, the space around airports you want to avoid if only a GA aircraft  ;D

6. For at least 3 years I swore that said pilot heat  ;)  but yes its Pitot heat, it and probe are basically the same thing.

Its not the cockpit temperature control  :-?  ;D
