Department activities of relevance to ATM(7) concept<br />

definition (Euret).<br />

emergency air Compressed air for energizing hydraulic<br />

or pneumatic circuit in event of failure of normal power<br />

supply.<br />

emergency cartridge Provides combustion products to<br />

energize hydraulic or pneumatic circuit in event of failure<br />

of normal power supply.<br />

emergency ceiling Highest altitude for multi-engined<br />

emissions control<br />

aircraft at which best rate of climb is 50 ft per minute with<br />

throttle of one engine closed; also known as usable ceiling.<br />

emergency combat capability Condition exclusive of<br />

primary alert status whereby elements essential to<br />

combat-launch an ICBM are present and can effect<br />

launch under conditions of strategic warning (USAF).<br />

emergency controlling authority Temporary air-traffic<br />

rules in vicinity of an incident if required to preserve life<br />

or property (CAA).<br />

emergency descent Premature descent from operating<br />

altitude because of in-flight emergency.<br />

emergency distance Distance sufficient for all takeoff or<br />

landing emergencies, such as critical-engine failure at V 1 ,<br />

met by runway plus stopway and possibly clearway.<br />

emergency exit Door or window designed to be opened<br />

after emergency landing or aborted takeoff for passenger<br />

and crew evacuation.<br />

emergency flotation gear Inflatables fitted to aircraft in<br />

emergency to provide water buoyancy.<br />

emergency landing Landing made as result of inflight<br />

emergency.<br />

emergency locator/transmitter Radio beacon triggered<br />

by impact or water immersion giving position of crashed<br />

aircraft; fixed ***, portable ***, and survival ***<br />

(armoured and can float). Suggest synonymous with<br />

Adelt.<br />

emergency parachute Second stand-by parachute.<br />

emergency power unit On-board source of electrical<br />

and/or hydraulic power sufficient to continue controlled<br />

gliding flight following loss of main engines; commonly<br />

self-contained package using hydrazine monofuel (hence<br />

MEPU).<br />

emergency rating 1 Special rating of remaining helicopter<br />

engine[s] following failure of one; time-limited,<br />

typically to 30s; also called super-contingency.<br />

2 Piston engine rating for emergency sprint periods,<br />

with aid of high boost, water/methanol injection, etc.<br />

emergency scramble Aircraft carrier CAP launch of all<br />

available fighter aircraft; if smaller number required,<br />

numerals and/or type may be added (DoD).<br />

emergent properties Features of a new design which were<br />

not, and could not reasonably be, predicted at the original<br />

project stage, for whatever reason.<br />

or impulse[s].<br />

2 Environmental message interchange.<br />

EMIH EMI (1, 2) hardening, or hazard.<br />

EMI/HIRF EMI (1) high intensity radio frequency.<br />

emission 1 Process by which body emits EM radiation as<br />

consequence of temperature only.<br />

2 Sending out of charged particles from surface for electrical<br />

propulsion.<br />

3 Loosely, any release from solid surface of electrical<br />

signal.<br />

emissions control Combat environment in which all<br />

detectable emissions are, as far as possible, prohibited.<br />
