AUTOPILOT
On an aircraft, a computer-controlled system that maintains the plane on a predetermined course without the pilot's intervention.

BEFORE DEPARTURE OF FLIGHT
The factors considered before departure of a flight are the wing shape and size, thrust per engine, actual take-off weight, departure time, ground speed, and wind direction. The other things considered before takeoff are whether the forecast is accurate, if delayed, the new departure time, dangerous areas, and areas prohibited to overfly.

CAT - III LANDING
Automatic landing without visibility. For CAT–III landing, the aircraft must be certified for CAT-III landing, the airport and runway must be equipped with lights and radio beams, and pilots must be trained and certified for CAT–III landing.

CONCORDE
Concorde is a narrow-body jet aircraft manufactured by British Aerospace (BAC), code SSC, with four turbofan engines with afterburners. Concorde is the only commercial supersonic aircraft currently in service. The maximum speed of 2200 km/h, or 1350 miles per hour, is twice the speed of sound.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (FDR)
Records pertinent technical information about a flight. An FDR will record information about the performance of various aircraft systems, as well as the aircraft's speed, altitude, heading and other flight parameters. Like a cockpit voice recorder (CVR), a flight data recorder is designed to withstand the forces of a crash so that its information may be used to reconstruct the circumstances leading up to the accident (in some cases, a digital flight data recorder, or DFDR).

WINGS OF THE AIRCRAFT
The aircraft's wings consist of many movable parts that change the aircraft's position and direction. For takeoff and landing, a larger wing surface area is needed. The fuel tank and engines are also in the wings of the aircraft.
