Altitude
noun
The height of an aircraft above sea level.
Example: The aircraft is flying at an altitude of 20000 meter
fr: Altitude
Artificial Horizon
noun
A flight instrument—often a gyroscope-based attitude indicator—that provides pilots with a visual representation of the aircraft's pitch and bank angle relative to the Earth’s true horizon.
Example: The pilot is looking at the artificial horizon to land the plane in a snowstorm.
fr: Horizon Artificielle
Cockpit
noun
The area where the pilots control the aircraft.
Example: The pilot is going inside the cockpit
fr: Cockpit
Control Tower
noun
The building where air traffic controllers manage air traffic.
Example: Control tower is leading the aircraft.
fr: Tour de controle
Cruise Speed
noun
The steady speed maintained during most of the flight.
Example: We are at cruise speed at 300 knots.
fr: Vitesse de croisière
Flight Plan
Noun
A document outlining the planned route of a flight.
Example: Pilots needs to make a flight plan before takeoff.
fr: Plan de vole
Fuselage
noun
The main body of the aircraft.
Example: Fuselage is protecting the passengers.
fr: Fuselage
Jet Fuel
noun
A specialized, colorless to straw-colored refined petroleum product based on kerosene (or naphtha), designed specifically to power aircraft with gas-turbine engines (jets, turboprops).
Example: The jet fuel just fill the plane up.
fr: Essence d'avion
Landing
noun
The phase when an aircraft returns to the ground.
Example: The will be landing in 2 hours.
fr: Attérissage

Example: The wind blow 30 knots to the left.
fr: Vent
Wings
noun
The primary airfoils extending from an aircraft's fuselage, designed to generate aerodynamic lift—higher pressure below, lower pressure above—to enable flight.
