Question Engineering Terminology

Gents what CAP (or EASA equivalent) does the civil world use to define Engineering Terminology, in order that any engineer writing up his paper work won’t fall foul of the law.

Regards

Try CS-definitions

There are also definitions sections in the front of each of the new EASA Certification Specifications, so if you have a rummage around here you'll find specific stuff for e.g. engines, propellers...

None of which are brilliant, and to be honest there are several unofficial technical dictionaries which are probably more useful (and a lot more readable!)

Not EASA, or even European, but it gives some clear definitions of what you might use.


I found this by googling for WATOG (World Airlines Technical Operations Glossary) which is, unfortunately, no longer in print!

Cool

MM describes inspection details, describes system or operational tests, CAIPS also provides info, or used to if it's still available.

Thanks gents, after a long search it seems that some of the mil definitions have "disappeared" no that the JAP has come along!
