Wstęp

Szanowny Czytelniku,

niniejsze wydanie słownika jest kontynuacją publikacji z 2016 roku. Od tego czasu dołożyłem starań, by uzupełnić bazę terminologiczną o nowe słownictwo, jednocześnie aktualizując terminy z pierwszego wydania. Temat jest wciąż niewyczerpany, gdyż podczas mojej pracy w lotnictwie stale spotykam się z nowym słownictwem, niemniej jednak w drugim wydaniu starałem się wyselekcjonować najbardziej istotne terminy, których nie udało się zawrzeć 5 lat temu. Przy większości terminów posiłkowałem się oficjalnymi tłumaczeniami, jak i sam proponuję najbardziej trafne tłumaczenie do terminów jeszcze nieprzetłumaczonych.

Język angielski jest niezmiennie powszechnie uznanym na całym świecie międzynarodowym językiem komunikacji lotniczej. W lotnictwie cywilnym ma on uprzywilejowaną pozycję przed frazeologią krajową, co w praktyce oznacza, że język narodowy może być używany tylko wtedy, gdy zaakceptują to obie zainteresowane strony. Znajomość angielskiego, szczególnie w lotniczym ruchu międzynarodowym, jest wręcz niezbędna. Wszelkie dokumenty lotnicze, zazwyczaj tłumaczone są na język polski, ale często też pozostawiane są bez tłumaczenia. Pracownicy z każdego obszaru lotnictwa cywilnego doskonale wiedzą zatem, jak bardzo język angielski jest im potrzebny w codziennej pracy.

Podczas tworzenia niniejszej publikacji uwzględniono aktualnie obowiązującą dokumentację powszechnie stosowaną w lotnictwie cywilnym, a także liczne publikacje lotnicze (w tym słownikowe) oraz opracowania operacyjne. Należą do nich m.in.:

• załączniki do Konwencji o międzynarodowym lotnictwie cywilnym,

• podręczniki ICAO,

• podręczniki IATA,

• rozporządzenia Unii Europejskiej,

• akceptowalne sposoby spełnienia wymagań (AMC), specyfikacje certyfikacyjne (CS) i materiały zawierające wytyczne (GM) do rozporządzeń Unii Europejskich,

• polskie akty prawne z zakresu lotnictwa cywilnego,

• biblioteka Skybrary Eurocontrol,

• europejska baza danych terminologicznych – IATE (Interactive Terminology for Europe),

• interaktywne słowniki angielskie: Collins, Merriam-Webster, Longman, Oxford, TheFreeDictionary.com, dictionary.com, Jeppesen Aviation Dictionary, Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms (Aviation Supplies and Academics), Dictionary of Aviation (A&C Black)

• Słownik Lotniczo-Kosmonautyczny Polsko-Angielsko-Rosyjski – Sergiusza Czerniego

• publikacje Federalnej Administracji Lotnictwa Stanów Zjednoczonych,

• prywatne bazy terminologiczne specjalistów lotniczych,

• wewnętrzne podręczniki, instrukcje, procedury, jawne dokumenty lotnicze, a także

• liczne źródła internetowe.

Chciałbym podziękować licznym osobom, które pomagały mi podczas tworzenia tego słownika, a szczególnie Żanecie, Soni, Andrzejowi, Gakuto, jak i kolegom/koleżankom z branży, którzy dzielili się ze mną swoimi bazami terminologicznymi i służyli dobrą radą.

This can be caused by the following: 1. Aerodynamic twisting of the wing caused by ailerons as speed is increased, which may reduce, neutralize, or reverse the direction of the lift. Aileron reversal results if the aileron structure is insufficiently stiff in torsion. The effect is most pronounced at nearsonic speeds. 2. In some aircraft, very low speeds. The descending aileron increases the angle of attack of that portion of the wing, resulting in stall of the wing that should be moving upward and causing it to drop odwrotne działanie lotek
