AMC 25.1302 Appendix 2: Definitions and acronyms ED Decision 2011/004/R Following is a list of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used throughout this advisory material and in CS-25. 2.1 Abbreviations and acronyms AC – Advisory circular AMC – Acceptable Means of Compliance CS – Certification Specifications DOT – Department of Transportation EASA – European Aviation Safety Agency FAA – Federal Aviation Administration ICAO – International Civil Aviation Organization ISO – International Standards Organization JAR – Joint Aviation Requirements JAR OPS – Joint Aviation Requirements (Commercial Air Transportation - Aeroplanes) MOC – Means of Compliance SAE – Society of Automotive Engineers STC – Supplemental Type Certificate TAWS – Terrain Awareness Warning System TCAS – Traffic Collision Avoidance System TSO – Technical Standards Order VOR – Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 2.2 Definitions Following is a list of terms and definitions used in this AMC. Alert – A generic term used to describe a flight deck indication meant to attract the attention of the flight crew, and identify to them a non-normal operational or aeroplane system condition. Warnings, Cautions, and Advisories are considered to be alerts. (Reference definition in AMC 25.1322) Automation – The autonomous execution of a task (or tasks) by aeroplane systems started by a high-level control action of the flight crew. Conformity – Official verification that the flight deck/system/product conforms to the type design data. Conformity of the facility is one parameter that distinguishes one means of compliance from another. Control Device (Flight Deck Control) – Device used by the flight crew to transmit their intent to the aeroplane systems. Cursor Control Device – Control device for interacting with virtual controls, typically used with a graphical user interface on an electro-optical display. Design Philosophy – A high-level description of human-centred design principles that guide the designer and aid in ensuring that a consistent, coherent user interface is presented to the flight crew. Display – Device (typically visual but may be auditory or tactile) that transmits data or information from the aeroplane to the flight crew. Multifunction Control – A control device that can be used for many functions as opposed to a control device with a single dedicated function. Task Analysis – A formal analytical method used to describe the nature and relationship of complex tasks involving a human operator. [Amdt 25/3] [Amdt 25/11]
