Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) is an ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standard specified in ICAO Annex 10 Vol IV which provides pilots with a system independent of air traffic control to detect the presence of other ...
Collision Damage Waiver: (See LDW)
Express Service: Service which enables travelers to avoid car rental counters at certain airport terminals and to proceed directly to shuttle buses.
Collision-Coalescence

Cold-soak Effect ...
Collision Avoidance
Years of joint research between government and industry resulted in the development and deployment of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), ...
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
Daily insurance fee paid by a car renter to cover liability for accident damages to a rented car.
...
Collision Avoidance vectors: in this case vectors will be given to both or one of the aircraft to avoid an incident or accident.
Collision - Unplanned contact between one aircraft and another. As a rule, collisions that result in the creation of several smaller and less airworthy aircraft from the original two are thought to be the most serious.
...
A collision has enough energy to create a problem for the aircraft, shattering windscreens, tearing open skins, rupturing hydraulic lines, destroying propellers, turbine blades and more.. you get the picture.
Impact Energy ...
Anti Collision Lights. When flying in the clouds, strobe lights and rotating beacons should be turned off as the reflection off the cloud of the blinking light is irritating to the eye.
B. noise, vibration and temperature
noise ...
Mid-air collisions are overwhelmingly most likely to occur at low altitudes, in the vicinity of an airport, in good VFR weather.
TRAFFIC COLLISION AVOIDANCESYSTEM (TCAS)
TCAS-I provides warnings (TAs) of other nearby aircraft; TCAS II provides warnings and resolutions advisories (RAs), and coordinates RAs with other TC...
Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). An airborne system developed by the FAA that operates independently from the ground-based Air Traffic Control system.
Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
Installed in commercial jets to search for and alert pilots to the presence of other aircraft.
TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM- An airborne collision avoidance system based on radar beacon signals which operates independent of ground-based equipment. TCAS-I generates traffic advisories only.
NMAC (Near Mid-Air Collision) Defined by FAA as a potential collision situation between aircraft within 500 feet of each other.
Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System
TDWR
Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR located and classifies windshear conditions and provides advisories in the terminal area. These data are available through the DLP.) ...
TCAS: Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System. U.S. developed radar-based airborne collision avoidance system operating independently of ground-based equipment.
All activities within an Alert Area are conducted in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations, and pilots of participating aircraft as well as pilots transiting the area are equally responsible for collision avoidance.
The extremely negative results of an unplanned collision with Planet Earth are sometimes the fault of poor crash survivability engineered into the airplane by the designer.
Affordable (there's that word again) modifications include anticollision strobes, flap and aileron gap seals, a carburetor icing detector, a belly-mounted fuel drain, and conversions allowing aircraft to use auto gasoline.
Sometimes after exceptionally rough landings or accidental collisions, settings can be knocked out of whack, causing the aircraft to behave in an irregular manner.
In-flight fires, flight control malfunction and mid-air collisions can also be a source of worry.
TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) A cockpit system to detect other transponder-equipped aircraft, alert pilots, and command/coordinate evasive action between aircraft.
Examine the blades for signs of hangar rash, in flight collisions with objects, or delamination. Dents or bulges should be verified with a mechanic.
Pitch Change Boots: No leaks ...
ATC systems work to separate aircraft to prevent collisions, to organize traffic flow, and to provide information and other support for pilots, such as for weather and navigation.
Air Traffic Clearance: An authorization by air traffic control, for the purpose of preventing collision between known aircraft, for an aircraft to proceed under specified traffic conditions within controlled airspace.
Any occurrence at an airport involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing or intending to land ...
Terrain Awareness and Warning System - A computer and sensors system which warns crews about imminent collision with the ground. Other similar systems are called EGPWS (Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems).
TDZE ...
Threshold - Beginning position of a runway usable for landing
TACAN - Tactical Air Navigation
TCA - Terminal Control Area
TCAS - Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (jokingly referred to as the "fishfinder")
TCU - Terminal Control Unit ...
One Four Uncle contact Palm Beach Approach on one two five point two. He'll keep you advised on your traffic. [125.2 is Palm Beach Approach (South). Aircraft One Four Uncle has traffic: an aircraft in its vicinity that poses a potential collision ...
pattern an aircraft must follow when approaching the airport for landing and when leaving the airport after taking off. Aircraft operating from the airport must follow the same flight pattern in order to reduce the danger of an in-flight collision.
Offer little resistance to the passage of obstacles beneath it.
Have the ability to absorb a large proportion of the energy which is produced on impacts or collisions with obstacles greater than hoverheight or cushion depth ...
Optional electrical accessories include the navigation lights, anticollision strobe lights, and instrument panel lighting and cabin courtesy lights.
The ammeter in the alternator system displays in amperes the load placed on the alternator.
