Precision Runway Monitoring (PRM)
Is a system of high-resolution monitors for air traffic controllers to use when landing aircraft on parallel runways separated by less than 4,300 feet.
Monitoring fuel consumption
An accurate fuel log should be kept by the pilot and checked after the first landing to verify the actual fuel level with the calculated fuel consumption.
M/A (Monitor-Alert) - A function of the ETMS that provides traffic management personnel with a tool for predicting potential capacity problems in individual operational sectors.
Monitoring of a flight to activate emergency services if not cancelled by a specific time

Monitor the excitation voltage window once in every five minutes. This gives the reference value of the voltage required for proper operation of the program. The reference value is Vref = 2.5 volts.+ 0.2.
monitor applicable airport advisory frequencies and report position when approaching non-towered or unattended airports, and other higher-risk areas, and
use transponders and become familiar with and use ATC "flight following" services.
MONITOR
Maintain radar awareness on or assume responsibility for specified group.

Azimuth: An angle in the horizontal plane, usually measured with respect to body coordinates.
1 Monitoring Takeoff Performance (wrong)
Predicting takeoff performance, beyond what is covered in the POH, requires knowing a tremendous amount about your airplane. It is a challenge for professional engineers and test pilots.

Monitors flight plans for overdue aircraft and initiates search and rescue services. "Automated" refers to telephone call handling equipment and computer information systems aiding pilot briefers.
The system can monitor the airplane's location, altitude, and provides a map-type display of surrounding terrain. It also alerts if the airplane approaches too close to terrain, a body of water or a tall structure.
Mind you, Scouts have sported digital avionics since the late 1990s, and customers can order custom packages-but digital engine monitoring and glass technology have been added to the mix. In 2005, J.P. Instruments' EDM-930 became an option.
EICMS - engine in flight monitoring system
ELT - emergency locator transmitter.
Joint-STARS - Also called J-STARS ("Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System"), Boeing E-8C used to monitor a ground battle with SLAR real time displays - can be linked with JTIDS ...
A suite of sensors which measure, collect, and disseminate weather data to help meteorologists, pilots, and flight dispatchers prepare and monitor weather forecasts, plan flight routes, ...
To compensate for those wobbles, the Department of Defense regularly monitors each satellite, using radar to check its precise position and speed from a ground station.
This can vary widely from AVOD, video games and personal screens to a single large video screen at the front of a cabin section, as well as smaller monitors situated every few rows above the aisles.
The POH calls for the pilot to monitor the automatic clutch system while in flight, and if he sees the motor run for more than 7 or 8 seconds, to pull the clutch system circuit breaker.
In between these scheduled maintenance checks, computers onboard the aircraft monitor the performance of aircraft systems and record such things as abnormal temperatures and fuel and oil consumption.
ANOMS - Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System. A computer system that collects aircraft flight track data and noise event information for the analysis of flight patterns and resulting noise impacts.
This provides more accurate and continuous monitoring of correct progress on the ILS to the pilot, and does not require an installation outside the airport boundary.
You must monitor your airspeed, altitude, attitude, variometer (an instrument used to measure the rate of climb), other air traffic and weather conditions-being constantly aware of ‘lift' (thermals, or rising air) and ‘ ...
ATC (Air Traffic Control) - A service operated by appropriate authority to monitor and regulate all air traffic departing and arriving in the United States, as well as all ground traffic within immediate airport boundaries.

(The overcast is one of them, and notice, if you have a color monitor, how it affects the dawn lighting, making it seem more like that of a dark day, and indeed, in my opinion, more like dawn than the regular dawn.) ...
The satellites are also monitored directly by U.S and Canadian Air Force Rescue Centres.
AFSS (Automated Flight Service Station): A (non-air traffic control) FAA facility providing pilots with weather briefing and flight-plan filing by radio, telephone and in person. Monitors flight plans for overdue aircraft and initiates search ...
At uncontrolled fields it generally functions as a CTAF on which pilots inform each other of their positions and intentions to avoid conflicts. When the unicom is monitored, services such as airport advisories or weather iformation may be available.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER Ground-based personnel responsible for coordinating, directing, and guiding airplanes through their landing and takeoff procedures. They also monitor weather systems that can affect planes and ensure safe travel once planes are ...
