Remap
delivery with clearance for specified long life free from
fatigue. Usually opportunity is taken to update systems
and equipment also.
Remap Research maximization and prioritization
(NASA).
Rembass Remotely monitored battlefield-area surveillance
(or sensor) system.
Remco Reference Materials Committee (ISO).
Remdeg Reliability military data exchange guide.
Remis Reliability and maintainability information
system[s].
remnant In assessment of handling, an arbitrary value
inserted to bridge the difference between model values and
human-pilot results.
Remoco Remote monitoring and control.
remote aerial refuelling operation With boom-equipped
aircraft, using CCTV from flight deck instead of boomoperator
station.
remote augmented lift system Arrangement for
providing enhanced jet lift for V/STOL on demand in
which large airflow bled from engine(s) is piped to
auxiliary combustion chamber, usually near nose of
aircraft, to provide additional high-energy lift jet. Latter
may have means for modulation and linked vectoring,
and RALS always requires large pilot-controlled diverter
valve(s).
remote augmentor Remote nozzle.
remote communications outlet Remotely controlled
unmanned air/ground com. station providing UHF and
VHF transmit-and-receive capability to extend range of
FSS (FAA).
remote fan Mechanically independent fan driven by tipdriven
turbine blades fed by hot gas from main engines via
switch-in deflectors; used to provide jet lift for V/STOL
or, rarely, to increase thrust at low speeds.
remote frequency display Shows details and status of all
on-board radios.
remote indicating compass Magnetic compass whose
sensing element is installed in extremity of aircraft where
deviation is minimal, with transmitter system serving
repeater dial(s) facing crew.
remote interface units These collect data and feed it to
the VMS computers.
remotely piloted vehicle, RPV Aerodyne usually of aeroplane
type whose pilot does not fly with it but controls it
from another aircraft or from station on surface.
Authority of remote pilot is usually absolute, though to
ease pilot workload some RPVs have choice of preselected
auto pilot/computer programs for at least part of each
mission.
remote magnetic indicator Principal panel instrument of
a VOR.
remote mass balance Connected by linkage to surface
where * cannot be accommodated.
remote nozzle Substantially vertical nozzle in RALS fed
with air from main-engine fan and burning fuel to
generate about 45% of total lift thrust.
remote receiving station Friendly station remote from
UAV or RPV control station at which its transmission (eg
reconnaissance information) can be received.
remote-source lighting Use of [possibly very long] fibre
optics.
remoting Transmission of ATC, SSR or air defence
repetitive flight plan
radar display by landline, microwave link or other means
to distant centre.
remous Air turbulence (F, commonly used by Englishspeaking
aviators pre-WW1).
removables All items flight crew must remove from
outside of aircraft before take-off.
REMP Replacement and modernization program[me].
Remro Remote radar operator.
REMS Remote sensor.
REMSA Requirements for emergency and safety
airborne equipment, training and procedures (ECAC).
Remsevs Remote-control secure-voice system.
rendering Th acceptance by a Contracting State of
another’s C of A or licence.
rendezvous Meeting of two aircraft or spacecraft at
preplanned place and time. For aircraft can include airrefuelling
hook-up but for spacecraft physical connection
is docking.
rendezvous orbit insertion Establishment by one spacecraft
of orbit almost identical to that of another before
actual rendezvous.
rendezvous radar Esp. in spacecraft, small ranging and
range-rate radar carried to facilitate rendezvous and
subsequent docking.
René alloys Family of American high-temperature
alloys with Ni base plus Cr, Mo, Co, Ti, Fe, Al, and small
amounts of C, Bo.
reneg To go back on previous agreement (US, colloq.).
renegotiation Procedure not uncommon in US where
manufacturer is required (usually by government) to renegotiate
an existing active contract; usual cause is
allegation of excessive profit.
renewal Procedure, usually annual, for inspection of
civil aircraft for certification * and of civil pilot * of certificate
or licence. Hence * rate, total of fees payable, and *
inspection, by authority-approved organization.
RENL Runway-end lights [normally red].
R/EO Radar/electro-optical.
REP 1 Reporting point (ICAO).
2 Reference eye position (or point).
3 ECM (R).
4 Replacement.
5 Representative.
6 Range error probable.
7 Recognised environmental picture.
repair-cycle aircraft Those in active inventory in or
awaiting depot maintenance (DoD).
repairman certificate Issued by FAA to skilled
tradesman engaged in repair or maintenance of aircraft or
parts.
Repairnet Reconstitution post-attack interoperable
radio network.
repeater jammer ECM receiver and transmitter which
receives hostile signals and amplifies, muliplies and
retransmits them for purposes of deception or jamming.
Basic deception mode is to give false indication of range,
azimuth or number of targets.
repetition rate 1 In radar, number of pulses per second.
2 In automatic gun, cyclic rate.
repetitive chime clacker Gives aural warning indicating
fault in aircraft configuration.
repetitive flight plan Kept on file for frequent [eg. scheduled]
identical flights.
