TIME
2 Training integrated [or integration] management [S
adds systems].
3 Target information module.
TIME Top Industrial Managers in Europe (Int.).
time Normally measured by subatomic frequency reference,
eg crystal clock, but defined according to position of
celestial reference point; depending on which point chosen
* called solar (Sun), lunar (Moon) or sidereal (vernal
equinox), solar being subdivided into mean or apparent
according to which Sun. Practical time designated GMT
or according to designated longitude zone. SI unit is s,
3,600 to h, 86,400 to week.
timebase 1 Straight line traced by spot on CRT or other
display of cartesian and several other types providing
timescale for measurement, eg of target range.
2 Straight line, regularly incorporating time tic, on data
readout.
time between overhauls, TBO Period recommended by
manufacturer and beyond which all warranties become
invalid and operation may be in violation of certification.
time box Small box, usually rectangular or square,
which moves along cockpit display future track,
according to flight plan, at selected groundspeed.
time-change item One whose operation is limited to
number of operating hours, number of operating cycles or
(rarely) passage of time, and which must be periodically
replaced on this basis.
time circle Basic symbology of many HUDs and other
attack systems in which bright circle starts at 60 s and
unwinds anticlockwise to 180° at 30 s and to vanish at 0 s.
time-compliant technical order Mandatory instruction
for modification or for retrofit of equipment.
time constant 1 Usually, time taken from start of input
signal for instrument to indicate specified % final reading;
for exponential response, eg thermometer, time to reach
63.2% final reading; also called relaxation time, lag coefficient.
Same meaning in charge/discharge of electrical
C/R circuit or current in L/R circuit.
2 Time taken for aeroplane to reach maximum angular
velocity [any axis] after hard-over control input.
TIMED, Timed Thermosphere, ionosphere, mesosphere,
energetics and dynamics satellite launched 2001
(NASA).
time dilation Apparent slowing-down of time as
observer’s speed reaches significant fraction of that of
light; also called clock paradox or twin paradox.
time dilution of precision Measure of errors [usually in
navigation] resulting from errors or variation in measured
or calculated time.
time/distance/speed scale Simple written scale, either
purchased (in which case of sliderule type) or prepared
before flight, with which unknown distance or speed can
be immediately read if other two factors are known.
time-division multiplex Dividing several continuous
measures, eg in telemetry system, or several input signals,
to form single continuous interlaced pulse train sent over
single channel to multiple receivers.
time-division multiplex access When multiple transmitters
are using a single carrier the carrier is time-shared to
avoid messages being garbled at receiver.
time group Four digits denoting time in hours and
minutes, such as 1730.
time hack Time at which a future event is scheduled, eg
timeswitch
at which a particular squadron is to start engines (colloq.
chiefly military).
time in service For maintenance time records, aircraft
log and similar purposes, elapsed time from aircraft
leaving surface until touching it again on landing (FAA).
time lag Any delay between stimulus and response, or
cause and effect, esp. that between start of signal and full
indication by instrument.
time mean bleed Short period of time during which large
RCS bleeds are expected to be used, and beyond which
thrust must be reduced.
time of flight Elapsed time from weapon launch, release
or departure from gun muzzle to instant it strikes target
or detonates.
time-of-flight spectrometer Instrument sorting particles,
esp. neutrons, according to time to travel known distance.
time of origin Local time message is released for
transmission.
time of useful consciousness See time reserve.
time on target 1 Time, either planned or actual, at which
aircraft attacks or photographs target.
2 Time at which NW detonation is planned at specified
GZ (DoD).
time over target Time at which aircraft arrive(s) over
designated point for purpose of conducting an air mission
on a target (USAF).
time pulse distributor EDP (1) circuit that generates
timing pulses during machine cycle, gated by command
generator to carry out commanded operations.
time reserve Time between sudden total loss of oxygen
supply and time when human can no longer be relied upon
to function normally or rationally.
time-response parameter Addition of input time delay to
assessment of response to pilot input of pitch rate
[rotation] and normal acceleration.
Time-Rite Patented indicator of piston position for
timing (1).
time-sensitive target[ing] An ephemeral target, previously
unknown, which must be recorded or attacked
immediately.
time series Sequence of time-variant measures, either
continuous (eg barograph trace) or discrete (eg hourly
met. pressure readings).
time sharing 1 Use of one EDP (1) processor or
computer, usually large and beyond means or requirements
of each customer, by a number of customers or
users whose programs are run in short bursts in timedivision
multiplexed form switched according to cyclic
formula agreed between users (in simplest form, a round
robin).
2 Planned allocation of time to external scanning [typically
18 s] and to looking around cockpit [typically 3 s].
time signal 1 Broadcast signal used as very accurate time
reference.
2 Time reference mark along border of reconnaissance
imagery or other film.
time/size plot Diagram whose ordinate is a measure of
aircraft size, eg MTOW or pax seats, and abscissa is time
in years.
time slot Slot (3).
time/speed scale Scale for given groundspeed used in
conjunction with plotting chart or topographical map.
timeswitch Electrical switch activated by time of day or
elapsed time from a start point.
