Term Definitions...

[bowler_man]

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.

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.

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
