approach descent
21final approach segment — The segment of an instrument approach procedure in which the alignment and descent for landing are accomplished (ICAO). It begins at the final approach fix and ends at the missed approach point. The final approach can be to a runway for a… …
22The Descent — For the book by Jeff Long, see The Descent (novel). For other similarly named films, see Descent (2005 film) and Descent (2007 film). For other uses, see Descent. The Descent Theatrical release poster …
23Darwin from Descent of Man to Emotions — The life and work of Darwin from Descent of Man to Emotions during the period from 1868 to 1872 continued with aspects of Charles Darwin s intended Big Book on evolution through natural selection. He had by then hurriedly published an abstract of …
24Evidence of common descent — The wide range of evidence of common descent of living things strongly indicates the occurrence of evolution and provides a wealth of information on the natural processes by which the variety of life on Earth developed, supporting the modern… …
25profile descent — An uninterrupted descent (except where level flight is required for speed adjustment e.g., 180 knots at 15,000 ft) from cruising altitude or flight level to the interception of glide slope or to a minimum altitude specified for the initial or… …
26segments of an instrument approach procedure — An instrument approach procedure may have as many as five separate segments, depending on how the approach procedure is structured. The approach segments begin and end at designated fixes. However, under some circumstances certain segments may… …
27Infinite descent — In mathematics, a proof by infinite descent is a particular kind of proof by contradiction which relies on the fact that the natural numbers are well ordered. One typical application is to show that a given equation has no solutions. Assuming a… …
28Top of Descent — (mit rotem Pfeil markiert) am Ende eines step climbs Der Top of Descent (TOD oder T/D; wörtlich: höchster Punkt des Sinkfluges; oder: Anfangspunkt des Sinkfluges) ist in der Luftfahrt der Punkt, an dem von der Flugphase des Reiseflugs in den… …
29initial approach segment — The segment of an instrument approach procedure between the initial approach fix and the intermediate approach fix or, where applicable, the final approach fix or point (ICAO). In the initial approach, the aircraft has departed the en route… …
30Minimum Descent Altitude — MDA Die Mindestsinkflughöhe (englisch minimum descent altitude, MDA oder minimum descent height, MDH) ist die minimale Flughöhe, die bei einem Landeanflug in Form des Instrumentenanflugs ohne vertikale Führung (englisch non precision approach,… …
