climb rate
21Zoom climb — A zoom climb is a climb where the rate of climb is greater than the maximum for a sustained climb, as determined from the thrust of the aircraft s engines. During a zoom climb, the aircraft gains potential energy at the expense of kinetic energy …
22best climb speed — The speed at which the highest rate of climb is obtained and the excess power (i.e., the difference between the power available and power required) is maximum. Also called best rate of climb air speed …
23Angle of Climb — In aerodynamics, angle of climb is the ratio between distance travelled over the ground and altitude gained. The angle of climb can be expressed as the angle between a plane horizontal to the earth s surface and the actual flight path followed by …
24maximum climb angle — The climb angle is the angle at which a given aircraft gains altitude. The climbing speed for the maximum climb angle is less than the best rate of climb speed and is obtained by actual flight tests. It is usually near 1.2 times the basic… …
25Linked exchange rate — A linked exchange rate system is a type of exchange rate regime to link the exchange rate of a currency to another. It is the exchange rate system implemented in Hong Kong to stabilise the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) and the… …
26Teaser Rate — An initial rate on an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). This rate will typically be below the going market rate, and is used by lenders to entice borrowers to choose ARMs over traditional mortgages. The teaser rate will be in effect for only a few… …
27best angle-of-climb speed — The air speed at which an aircraft will gain the greatest amount of altitude for a given distance. It is less than the best rate of climb speed, and its usual value is about 1.2 times the basic stalling speed. The climb is usually carried out at… …
28noise abatement climb procedure — noun (aeronautics) The flying of a civil aircraft so that it climbs rapidly on take off until reaching the built up area, where it maintains a positive rate of climb until the area is overflown or it reaches 5000ft • • • Main Entry: ↑noise …
29best rate-of-climb air speed — See best climb speed …
30maximum rate of climb — A climb made by an aircraft at the maximum recommended power setting and at an angle to give the greatest gain in altitude in feet per minute or meters per s …
