  • Vfr Communications for Idiots
    VFR COMMUNICATIONS FOR IDIOTS A CRANIUM RECTUM EXTRACTUS PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION The crowded nature of today’s aviation environment and the affordability of VHF transceivers for general aviation aircraft have caused the development of two-way radio communication skills to be included in a modern flight instruction curriculum. While radio communication is not required at uncontrolled airports, safety is greatly enhanced by the use of proper radio technique. Moreover, the inclusion of more and more airspace under the positive control of Air Traffic Control (ATC), inside which two-way radio communication is mandatory, has made mastery of radio skills necessary if general aviation aircraft are to be fully utilized. This article has been written to introduce the primary pilot to current radio communication techniques by using familiar examples and by avoiding confusing technobabble. Please remember that the phraseology and techniques presented here are not carved in stone! Fashions in radio communications have changed in the past, and they will certainly change in the future to satisfy the requirements of an evolving aviation environment. These recommendations should provide a starting point that will allow each pilot to develop an individual style within a framework of efficient communications. RADIO TECHNIQUE 1. Make sure the radio is audible. Place the radio power switch in the TEST position or turn down the squelch until static can be heard. Turn up the volume to the desired level, then return the poser switch to ON or turn up the squelch until the static is eliminated. Don’t miss critical radio calls just because the volume is too low.

Differentparts in an airplane have different functions to balance theaircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general mechanisms.Profusely illustrated descriptions provide a picture of whatkinds of aircraft are used for cargo, passenger travel, bombing, and supersonicflights. Propulsion principles and descriptions of differentkinds of engines are quite helpful. At the end of each chapter,new terminology is listed.

  • A Concise History of Fort Monmouth, New Jersey and the U.S
    A CONCISE HISTORY OF FORT MONMOUTH, NEW JERSEY AND THE U.S. ARMY CECOM LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT COMMAND Prepared by the Staff of the CECOM LCMC Historical Office U.S. Army CECOM Life Cycle Management Command Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Fall 2009 Design and Layout by CTSC Visual Information Services, Myer Center Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Visit our Website: www.monmouth.army.mil/historian/ When asked to explain a loyalty that time had not been able to dim, one of the Camp Vail veterans said shyly, "The place sort of gets into your blood, especially when you have seen it grow from nothing into all this. It keeps growing and growing, and you want to be part of its growing pains." Many of the local communities have become very attached to Fort Monmouth because of the friendship instilled...not for just a war period but for as long as...Fort Monmouth...will inhabit Monmouth County. - From “A Brief History of the Beginnings of the Fort Monmouth Radio Laboratories,” Rebecca Klang, 1942 FOREWORD The name “Monmouth” has been synonymous with the defense of freedom since our country’s inception. Scientists, engineers, program managers, and logisticians here have delivered technological breakthroughs and advancements to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen for almost a century. These innovations have included the development of FM radio and radar, bouncing signals off the moon to prove the feasibility of extraterrestrial radio communication, the use of homing pigeons through the late-1950s, frequency hopping tactical radios, and today’s networking capabilities supporting our troops in Overseas Contingency Operations.

  • Unicomdual DATAMODE • CAT CONTROL • PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
    Radioarena UnicomDual DATAMODE • CAT CONTROL • PROGRAMMING INTERFACE User Manual www.radioarena.co.uk I. Rig Control and Programming Section The CAT control part of the interface is based on the FT2232C, the 3rd generation of FTDI’s popular USB UART/FIFO I.C. family. This device features two Multi-Purpose UART / FIFO controllers which can be configured individually in several different modes. It is designed specifically for CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system, which controls transceiver frequency, mode and other functions by computer, supporting Icom (CI-V), Kenwood (IF-232C) and Yaesu (FIF-232C) transceivers. It may also be used to program and clone various hand-held, mobile and base radios. The UnicomDual communicates directly with a PC through the now popular and standard USB interface. It emulates 2 (two) Serial Ports communicating with a radio at TTL voltage levels. A Serial Port connection is not needed since the Radioarena UnicomDual emulates one for you. The Radioarena UnicomDual is compatible with all versions of Windows® that support USB operation. This only includes Windows® 98SE, ME, W2K, XP or higher. Many up to date notebook computers support only USB interfaces, but no more Serial Ports. On a desktop PC the few serial devices are already in use. You can connect as many USB devices as you want to your PC. The Radioarena UnicomDual is a new CAT/Programming/Datamode interface for USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, for all those PCs without Serial Ports. Two virtual Serial Ports are created, so that any Windows™ based rig control software that is compatible with your computer and radio may be used.

Loftin, Arch McCleskey, Patricia Thomas Art Direction and Production: Anne G. Anderson This summer marks the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the Lockheed Hercules; a Volume 6, No. 3, July - September 1979 quarter century of service to nations throughout the world! Over 1,550 Hercules (C-130s Vol. 6, No. 3, July. September 1979 and L-100) have been delivered to 44 countries. We at Lockheed are very proud of this Contents: record and the reputation the Hercules has earned. It is a reputation built on depend- ability, versatility, and durability. 2 Focal Point The Hercules is a true workhorse. Many developing countries depend on it to carry all types of cargo, from lifesaving food to road-building equipment. They carry these cargoes to remote areas that are not easily accessible by any other mode of transporta- 3 tion. An additional advantage is its ability to land and take off in incredibly short 3 Crew Door Rigging distances, even on unpaved clearings. The tasks the Hercules is capable of accomplishing are almost limitless; from hunting hurricanes, to flying mercy relief missions. It is the universal airborne platform. And it is 14 Royal Norwegian Air Force energy-efficient, using only about half the fuel a comparable jet aircraft would require. 15 One of the more interesting aspects of these 25 years is that while the external design of 15 Hydraulic Pressure Drop the aircraft has changed very little, constant improvements in systems and avionics equip- ment have made the world’s outstanding cargo airplane also among the world’s most modern.

LAW Space Launch Support Division Space Launch Operations October 2002 Space Systems Group THE AEROSPACE CORPORATION El Segundo, CA 90245-4691 Prepared for U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE OFFICE OF SPACE COMMERCIALIZATION Herbert C. Hoover Building 14th and Constitution Ave., NW Washington, DC 20230 (202) 482-6125, 482-5913 Contract No. SB1359-01-Z-0020 PUBLIC RELEASE IS AUTHORIZED Preface This report has been prepared by The Aerospace Corporation for the Department of Commerce, Office of Space Commercialization, under contract #SB1359-01-Z-0020. The objective of this report is to characterize suborbital reusable launch vehicle (RLV) concepts currently in development, and define the military, civil, and commercial missions and markets that could capitalize on their capabilities. The structure of the report includes a brief background on orbital vs. suborbital trajectories, as well as an overview of expendable and reusable launch vehicles. Current and emerging market opportunities for suborbital RLVs are identified and discussed. Finally, the report presents the technical aspects and program characteristics of selected U.S. and international suborbital RLVs in development. The appendix at the end of this report provides further detail on each of the suborbital vehicles, as well as the management biographies for each of the companies. The integration of suborbital RLVs with existing airports and/or spaceports, though an important factor that needs to be evaluated, was not the focus of this effort. However, it should be noted that the RLV concepts discussed in this report are being designed to minimize unique facility requirements.
