Vector
A vector is a magnetic heading given to an aircraft from air-traffic control (ATC) to be flown for a period of time or distance. It can be a magnetic compass heading or the numerical value of that heading.
Minimum vectoring altitude (MVA)
Minimum vectoring altitude (MVA). An IFR altitude lower than the minimum en route altitude (MEA) that provides terrain and obstacle clearance.
Vectors, Forces and Moments
Representing physical quantities by vectors A graphic representation of forces is a valuable tool in physics. Some explanations in aeronautics require the use of such representation.
vector - A heading issued to an aircraft by ATC to provide navigational guidance by radar.
vector line - This is a course line that is predicted within a specified number of minutes assuming the aircraft's course is not changed.
Vector: A turn to a particular compass direction requested of an aircraft by Air Traffic Control, usually to direct it toward its destination.
Vector A direction and altitude assigned to an aircraft by air traffic control.
Vector - Compass heading instructions issued by ATC in providing navigational guidance by radar.
Vectors and Not Talking
Think before you talk to reduce excess verbiage
You will know when to talk when you understand the system.
Good controllers know the limits of good pilot performance.
Vector - Heading issued to an aircraft to provide guidance by radar
Victor - Reference to VHF Frequency Band
VFR - Visual Flight Rules
VHF - Very High Frequency
VOLMET - Aviation Weather broadcast
VOR - Very High Frequency Omni-Range ...
Vector diagram showing lift, weight and centripetal force acting on a fixed-wing aircraft during a banked turn.
A vector (such as force) has geometric extent in one dimension. The drawing of a vector has a certain length. This is in contrast to scalars, which have no geometric extent. They are zero-dimensional, and are drawn as points with no size.
The force vectors are different in each region, because the rotational relative wind is slower near the blade root and increases continually toward the blade tip.
An immediate vector to the group described.
SNIPER
Directive for an aircraft to employ a range-known HARM against a specified threat at the specified location.
Let's say you're vectoring - turning - an aircraft so that it can establish on the ILS for an airport.
Diver Patrol: Aircraft in flight to be vectored to intercept V-1 unguided missiles.

The lift, drag, and weight forces that are acting on the kite during flight are displayed as vectors (arrows) with the lengths proportional to one another.
Data that defines aircraft parameters, such as position, velocity, attitude; Some standard terms for state data include: Groundspeed vector, wind speed vector, true airspeed vector, true bearing, true track, ground track angle, relative bearing, ...
Since the two vectors are not located at the same point along the chord line, a twisting force is exerted about the center of pressure.
If you feel that the separation for wake turbulence is not adequate, do request a different vector or more separation or even a different altitude. You can also take own responsibility and maintain own separation to keep clear.
Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity, either scalar or vector.

Otherwise, fumbling for a replacement fuse as you are being vectored to the final approach, or at night with a flashlight in your mouth, can lead to an awkward, if not fatal, situation.
touchdown zone - (1) For fixed wing aircraft, the first 3000 feet of runway, beginning at the threshold. (2) For rotary wings and vectored thrust aircraft, the portion of the helicopter landing area or runway used for landing.
