DADensity Altitude is the altitude relative to the standard atmosphere conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the place of observation. In other words, density altitude is air density given as a height above mean sea level | |

EMSEMS Engine Monitoring System A portion of the Skyview with the engine data (temperatures, pressures and fuel) displayed. | |

GFactor of gravity. It is used to express the apparent increase of mass due to inertia. While the actual mass of an object remains the same, during manouvering this object is apparently heavier. The G factor quantifies how much heavier. Example: A mass of a pilot is 80 kg. When manouvering at 3G, the pilot mass is still 80 kg, but the apparent mass that the seat has to carry is 3 (G) X 80 kg = 240 kg. | |

MTOMMaximum Take-Off Mass The maximum takeoff mass also known as maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of an aircraft is the maximum mass at which the pilot of the aircraft is allowed to attempt to take off, due to structural or other limits. This mass is absolute and does not vary with atmospheric conditions, flap settings or anything else. | |
