lennukäigu

Lennukäigu is an Estonian term that translates to "aircraft movement" or "flight maneuver." It encompasses a broad range of actions performed by an aircraft, from simple taxiing on the ground to complex aerial acrobatics. In aviation, lennukäigu is a fundamental concept for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aircraft designers.

The term can refer to routine operations like takeoff, landing, climbing, descending, and turning. These are all essential components of a safe and efficient flight. Beyond these basic maneuvers, lennukäigu can also describe more specialized actions. For instance, evasive maneuvers are emergency actions taken to avoid a collision or threat. Aerobatic maneuvers, on the other hand, are intentional deviations from level flight for training or performance purposes.

Understanding and executing precise lennukäigu is crucial for maintaining control of an aircraft, navigating airspace, and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. Air traffic control relies on clear communication and knowledge of expected lennukäigu to manage the flow of aircraft and prevent conflicts. In the design of aircraft, the ability to perform specific lennukäigu influences aerodynamic features and control system development. The term is thus central to many aspects of aviation.
