Damage to an aircraft or component that cannot be repaired. This type of damage requires the part to be replaced.
Industry:Aviation
Damage to the components in the gas path of a turbine engine caused by the failure of parts within the engine itself.
Industry:Aviation
Damage to the components in the gas path of a turbine engine that is caused by ingesting objects that are not part of the engine.
Technicians tools carelessly left in the intake ducts as well as debris from the runways or taxiways can cause FOD when the engine is being run on the ground. In flight, the ingestion of ice and birds can cause FOD.
Industry:Aviation
Damping which prevents an object overswinging, or moving past its at-rest position. If a pendulum does not have aperiodic damping, when it is disturbed from its at-rest position, it will move back toward this position but will overshoot and oscillate back and forth, with each oscillation smaller than the swing before it.
An aperiodically damped pendulum will not swing back and forth, but will stop just as it reaches its at-rest position. Aperiodic damping is also called dead-beat damping.

Data can be both written into RAM and read from it, and this data can be changed as needed. The data stored in a dynamic RAM (D-RAM) is volatile. This means that all data is lost when computer power is shut off. The data in a D-RAM must be continually refreshed (the charge renewed) as the charge (the data) leaks off.
Industry:Aviation
Data found in such aviation maintenance documents as manufacturer’s maintenance manuals, service bulletins and letters, and AC 43.13-1 and 43.13-2.
Acceptable data may be submitted to the FAA for a particular repair or alteration, and it may or may not be approved, depending upon its applicability to the specific job.
Industry:Aviation
Data in one of only two conditions: zero or one, off or on, false or true, low or high. Digital data differs from analog data in that it does not have any in-between conditions.
Industry:Aviation
Data or information represented by a continuously varying voltage or current. Analog data differs from digital data in that digital data has only two conditions: high and low, on and off, or one and zero.
Industry:Aviation
Data transfer by moving bits sequentially, one at a time, rather than simultaneously, as is done by parallel operation. Series operation is much slower than parallel operation, but it requires far less complex circuitry.
Industry:Aviation
Data transfer by moving digital words (groups of bits) all at one time. Parallel operation is much faster than serial operation, in which the bits are moved one at a time, but it requires much more complex circuitry.
