Antenna: Check
Attachment Bolts: Tight
The job of the attach bolts is to connect the tail cone to the frame. On this exterior picture, you can see the bolt side going through the frame, and through the doublers.
Antenna. Aerial wire for radio communication.
Anticer. A device for preventing the formation of ice on aircraft, usually in the form of liquid paste.
antenna - An arrangement of wire, metal rods, etc. used in sending or receiving electromagnetic waves.
approach - The flight phase during which an aircraft has its landing gear extended and is descending and slowing its speed for landing.
LOOP ANTENNA - A circular radio antenna, either in the open or in a streamlined, teardrop housing, remotely turned 360° to fine-tune a station in league with other radio-directive devices. See also RADIO COMPASS, RADIO DIRECTION FINDER.
Antenna masts can be made from steel or aluminum, depending on the required load-bearing capacity of the mast. Steel is structurally the stronger of the two metals, so it is typically used for...
RC Helicopter Tricks ...
The antenna beam becomes wider as the aircraft gets further away, making the position information less accurate. Additionally, detecting changes in aircraft velocity requires several radar sweeps that are spaced several seconds apart.
Each antenna either an ARSR-3 or -4 has two parts, the search antenna and the transponder interrogator. Some -3s cannot get primary targets at all.
Check antennae.
Inspect right flap. Check sliders and security of flap, there should be only slight movement possible.
The same antenna can be used by the localizer receiver for the ILS (Instrument Landing System). These ILS signals are transmitted at a frequency three times higher than the VOR frequency and the VOR antenna can pick them up too.
BASE LOAD ANTENNA
A rigid, short antenna mounted to the aircraft. Used to replace the longer receiver antenna.
BASIC OPERATING WEIGHT (BOW)
Empty weight typically equipped + unusable fuel and trapped liquids + 2 pilots (400 lbs.) + supplies.

DIRECTION FINDER- A radio receiver equipped with a directional sensing antenna used to take bearings on a radio transmitter. Specialized radio direction finders are used in aircraft as air navigation aids.
Wave-Guider: that links the transmitter and the antenna.
Duplexer: that serves as a switch between the antenna and the transmitter or the receiver for the signal when the antenna is used in both situations.
Precision Approach Radar (PAR) - Navigational equipment located on the ground adjacent to the runway, consisting of one antenna, which scans the vertical plane, and a second antenna, which scans the horizontal plane.
PDA- and PC-based software typically runs from $100 to $300, with additional cost for GPS receivers, remote antennas, yoke mounts, power adapters, and additional databases.
Parasite drag includes the landing gear, antennas, cowlings, doors, etc. The shape of the fuselage will also produce parasite drag.
Slant range. The horizontal distance from the aircraft antenna to the ground station, due to line-of-sight transmission of the DME signal.
THRESHOLD CROSSING HEIGHT- The theoretical height above the runway threshold at which the aircraft's glideslope antenna would be if the aircraft maintains the trajectory established by the mean ILS glideslope or MLS glidepath.
(See GLIDESLOPE.) ...
Power is also needed to overcome what is called "parasitic" drag, which is the drag associated with moving the wheels, struts, antenna, etc. through the air.
This limit depends on many things, including drag force on the primary structure (wings, tail, landing gear etc.); drag force on secondary items (antennas, fairings, etc.); instability of the structure and control systems due to flutter; ...
