1、Designation: F3060 14Standard Terminology forAircraft1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3060; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year
2、of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This terminology contains a listing of terms,abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols related to aircraft cov-ered by ASTM Committees F37 and F44 airworthiness designstandards. It
3、is intended to ensure the consistent use ofterminology throughout all ASTM light aircraft standards.1.2 UnitsThe definitions of units will be as defined inNIST SP 330 and will not be duplicated in this document.NIST SP 330 is available on the internet. The values stated ineither SI units or inch-pou
4、nd units are to be regarded separatelyas standard. The values stated in each system may not be exactequivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independentlyof the other. Combining values from the two systems mayresult in nonconformance with the standard.1.3 Source ReferencesThe listed documen

However, the definitionmay have been edited for use in this document and the F37 andF44 standards and may not completely match the original inevery respect.1.4 A definition adapted from a particular standard withinthe ASTM aircraft collection of s
6、tandards is not limited to usewithin only those standards.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bil
7、ity of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced DocumentsNOTE 1All terms will reference the source of the definition.
