MEA
The ratio of the change
in height
during
a portion of a climb,
to the horizontal distance traversed
in the same
time
interval.
The demonstrated
crosswind
velocity
is the velocity of the
crosswind
com-
ponent for
which
adequate control of
the airplane
during
take-off and land-
ing
was
actually demonstrated
during
certification tests.
The distance required to accelerate to
a specified speed and, assuming
failure of an engine at
the
instant
that
speed is attained, to bring
the
airplane
to a stop.
