bulutlu - he sky is completely covered with clouds
overcast
A specific time given by air traffic control when the aircraft is allowed to depart or arrive.
Slot time
The planned path the aircraft will follow from departure to destination.
routing
A detailed flight plan prepared by the dispatcher that includes routing, fuel calculations, weather, NOTAMs, and performance data.
Operational Flight Plan (OFP)
The predicted time when the aircraft will land at the destination.
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
A specific geographical point used for navigation (can be a fix, VOR, or GPS point).
Waypoint
buzlanma koşulları
icing conditions
rüzgar makası (when the wind suddenly changes speed or direction)
wind shear
The total weight of the aircraft at the moment of departure (aircraft + fuel + payload).
Takeoff weight
The predicted time when the aircraft will leave the airport.
Estimated Time of Departure (ETD)
An official authorization signed by the dispatcher and captain confirming that the flight is safe and legally ready to depart.
Dispatch release
The time needed to prepare the aircraft for the next flight after landing (cleaning, fueling, boarding, etc.).
Turnaround time
The total weight of the aircraft when it lands (usually lighter because fuel has been burned).
Landing weight
An official document that contains all the details of a flight (route, altitude, speed, fuel, aircraft type, etc.).
Flight plan
görünürlük - how far you can see clearly
visibility
A predefined route in the sky that aircraft follow (like a highway in the air)
Airway
yan rüzgar (wind that blows from the side)
crosswind
Mathematical calculations that determine whether the aircraft can safely take off and land under current conditions (weather, runway length, weight, etc.).
Performance calculations
türbülans (when air or water moves in a rough, messy way instead of smoothly)
turbulence
An official document that shows the aircraft’s weight distribution (passengers, cargo, fuel) and confirms it is safe for flight.
