Aviation Intersecting runwaysIntersection departure

INTERSECTION-
a. A point defined by any combination of courses, radials, or bearings of two or more navigational aids.
b. Used to describe the point where two runways, a runway and a taxiway, or two taxiways cross or meet.

 


Y-Intersections
Y-intersections will offer variations. Six holding patterns are possible. The direction of your arrival at the intersection gives a direct entry to at least two patterns.

Fix The point of intersection of two position lines drawn on a map to determine the location of an aeroplane ...

Through the first eighth of the turn we'll maintain the shallow bank so that our distance away from the intersection remains at a constant quarter-mile.

One point is the intersection of the positive limit load factor and the line of maximum positive lift capability. The airspeed at this point is the minimum airspeed at which the limit load can be developed aerodynamically.

This generally includes all taxiways, inactive runways, holding areas, and some transitional aprons or intersections where aircraft arrive, having vacated the runway or departure gate.

Interference Drag comes from the intersection of airstreams that creates eddy currents, turbulence or restricts smooth airflows. For example, the intersection of the wing and the fuselage at the wing root has significance interference drag.

Severe turbulence is caused by intersection of up- and downward moving air and can be expected anywhere in and under the Cb, even at distances of 25 NM ahead of and 10000 feet above the shower depending of its intensity.
Downburst ...

The stick fixed maneuver point is the obtained as the intersection of the (d δe / dn) vs Xcg with the Xcg axis.

The right way to think about it is simple: During the approach, you are performing a nonturning slip toward the runway intersection, and that's all that need be said.

TMA - Terminal Control Area. An area of controlled airspace at the intersection of airways
in the vicinity of control zones (CTRs) around major airports.
TO - take-off (sometimes TKOF).

Acorn. A streamlined fitting placed at the intersection of bracing wires to prevent abrasion.

Base leg - A flight path at right angles to the approach of a runway end. It usually extends from the downwind leg to the intersection of the extended runway centerline. See "traffic pattern." ...

base leg - A flight path at right angles to the landing runway off its approach end that extends from the downwind leg to the intersection of the extended runway centerline.
