Bleed Air System

A system on an aircraft that takes compressed air directly from an engine or auxiliary power unit (APU) before it enters the combustion chamber, using it for things like cabin ventilation and pressurization.

Type Certified

A designation given by aviation authorities, like the FAA, to an aircraft design (or 'type') after it has met all airworthiness standards and safety requirements for its specific category.

Turbine Aircraft

An aircraft powered by a jet engine, which operates by drawing in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting it, and expelling hot gases to create thrust. This includes turbojet, turbofan, and turboprop engines.

Turbo-prop Aircraft

An aircraft powered by a turboprop engine, which uses a jet engine to drive a propeller instead of directly expelling exhaust gases for thrust. These are common in smaller regional aircraft.

Part 25 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations

A section of federal aviation regulations (FARs) that outlines the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes, which are large aircraft designed for carrying passengers or cargo.

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

A small turbine engine, typically located in the tail of an aircraft, that provides power for systems (like air conditioning, lighting, and engine starting) when the main engines are off or on the ground.
