2.3 Definitions:
ACCUMULATOR: Pressure vessel used to store fluid under pressure, fluid typically held under pressure by a piston or diaphragm backed by a compressed spring or pressurized gas, usually a component of hydraulic or fuel systems.
AIR BOTTLE: Container specifically designed to store gases at a designated pressure, designed to a maximum or minimum pressure, typically twice the storage pressure, supplied air pressure is typically regulated down to starter entry working pressure, typically spherical or cylindrical with hemi- spherical ends.
AIRCRAFT QUALITY: Workmanship and finish of a component of sufficiently high grade to insure satisfactory operation, reliability and durability consistent with the application and storage life requirements.
AIRFLOW or WEIGHT FLOW: Amount of air provided to the starter inlet, flow rate controlled by the starter nozzle size and depends on the pressure and temperature of the air, describes amount of air ingested into an APU or a design condition for a heat exchanger.
AIRFRAME MOUNTED ACCESSORY DRIVE (AMAD): Accessory drive package consisting of a gearbox and secondary-power components, mounted to the airframe remote from the main engine, may be powered by an APU; by the propulsion engine through a PTO (power take-off) shaft; by bleed air; or by a combination of the three, sometimes referred to as the Airframe Mounted Accessory Gearbox (AMAG) or Accessory Drive Gearbox (ADG).
