8. CURRENT SCENARIO
• The Indian Aviation Industry is currently one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world.
The aviation industry in India has a compound annual growth rate of 18%. There are 454 airports and
airstrips in India, of which 16 are designated as international airports. As of May 2006, private airlines
accounted for more than 75% of the sector of the domestic aviation market.

in revenue by almost US$ 21.4 million. Moreover, the Airport Authority of India seems set to accrue
better margins in near future as per the latest estimates released by Ministry of Civil Aviation.
9. Cockpit
• A space, usually enclosed, in the forward fuselage
of an airplane
containing the flying controls, instrument panel,
and seats for the pilot and copilot or flight crew.
• The word cockpit was originally a sailing
term for the coxswain's station in a Royal
Navy ship
12. Description of external parts
• Fuselage - Body which aircraft components are attached.
• Nose - Forward section of aircraft.
• Nacelle - Protective covering surrounding aircraft engine.
• Aileron - Hinged portion on the trailing edge of wing; controls rolling motion.
• Flaps - Hinged portions of wing located on trailing edges; provide additional lift to compensate
for slower air speeds
13. Elevators - Moveable surfaces hinged to horizontal stabilizer which control pitch/position of the
nose.
Rudder - Located on the tail; controls left to right movement.
Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizer - Located on tail section; contributes to stability.
Landing Gear - Understructure which is made up in the nose and main gears.
Gear pins - Placed in nose and main gear to require maintenance or being towed.
Empennage - Tail section; rudder, various tabs, vertical and horizontal stabilizer and elevator.
Control tabs - Located on elevator and rudder.
Slats - Located on forward edge of wing; give additional life on takeoff and reduce airspeed for
landing.
19. • An evacuation slide is an inflatable slide
used to evacuate an aircraft quickly. An
escape slide is required on all commercial
(passenger carrying) aircraft where the
door sill height is such that, in the event
of an evacuation, passengers would be
unable to step down from the door
uninjured (Federal Aviation
Administration requires slides on all
aircraft doors where the floor is 6 feet
(1.8 m) or more above the ground).
