INTRODUCTION
MODEL 560
DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
AC: Alternating Current
Accelerate-Stop Distance: The distance required to accelerate the aircraft and then abort the
takeoff due to a failed engine, or other emergency, occurring just
prior to V
1
with brake application commencing at V
1
ADF: Automatic Direction Finding
ADI: Attitude Director Indicator
AIA: Anti-icing Additive
Altitude: All altitudes used in this manual are pressure altitudes unless
otherwise stated.
AM or AME: Amplitude Modulation
Anti-Ice/Deice Systems: The following systems comprise the anti-ice/deice systems:
a. Windshield Bleed Air Anti-Ice.
b. Wing Bleed Air Anti-Ice.
c. Engine Bleed Air Anti-Ice.
d. Pitot-Static System Anti-Ice (includes electrical anti-ice for AOA
vane).
e. Horizontal Stabilizer Pneumatic Deice.
Performance, when referred to ANTI-ICE ON, is based on the wing
and engine anti-ice systems being operated at the same time.
ARM: The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center-of-
gravity (C.G.) of an item.
ATC: Air Traffic Control
Basic Empty Weight: Standard empty weight plus installed optional equipment.
°C: Temperature in degrees Celsius.
CAT II: Category II Operation. A straight-in ILS approach to the runway of
an airport under a Category II ILS instrument approach procedure.
CB: Circuit Breaker
CDI: Course Deviation Indicator
Center-of-Gravity (C.G.): The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended.
C.G. Arm: The arm obtained by adding the airplane’s individual moments and
dividing the sum by the total weight.
C.G. Limits: The extreme center-of-gravity locations within which the airplane
must be operated at a given weight.
Climb Gradient: The ratio of the change in height during a portion of a climb, to the
horizontal distance traversed in the same time interval.
DC: Direct Current
