FAA Industry Training Standards. FITS - Federal Aviation Administration Industry Training Standards program is a partnership between FAA, Industry, and Academia designed to enhance general aviation safety.

FITS is focused on the redesign of general aviation training. Instead of training pilots to pass practical test, FITS focuses on expertly manage real-world challenges. Scenario based training is used to enhance the GA pilots' aeronautical decision making, risk management, and single pilot resource management skills. We do this without compromising basic stick and rudder skills.

Tri-rated cable. Tri-rated cable is  a high temperature, flame retardant electrical wire designed for use inside electrical equipment.

Tri-rated cable meets the requirements of three different international standards: BS 6231, UL 758, and CSA 22.2. Combining three standards in one product makes tri-rated cable suitable for use in equipment that is required to meet both North American and British wiring regulations.

Construction
Tri-rated cables are constructed with a flexible stranded copper conductor (Class 5 according to IEC 60228), and insulation of heat resistant PVC.  Tri-rated cable is manufactured in a variety of insulation colours, including brown, orange, yellow, pink, and dark blue.

Uses
Tri-rated cable is designed for use in switch, control, relay and instrumentation panels of power circuits, and as internal connectors in rectifier equipment, motor starters and motor controllers.

Standards

BS 6231

BS 6231 is a British Standard, last revised in 2006 by the BSI Group. This standard specifies the performance and construction requirements of electrical cables that are single core, non-sheathed, PVC-insulated and rated 600/1000 V. Wire meeting the requirements of type CK of this standard is used as tri-rated wire. This standard specifies a nominal insulation thickness of 0.8mm for wire sizes 0.5mm2 to 6mm2. Larger wires sizes are required to have thicker insulation.

Wire that is approved to BS 6231 might not carry the UL and CSA ratings, if, for example, the wire is not suitable for use at the higher 105 °C temperature that is specified for those ratings. In that case, the wire is not tri-rated.

According to UL 758, the maximum operating temperature of tri-rated cable is 105 °C. British Standard BS 6231 requires only a maximum operating temperature of 90 °C for continuous use. UL and CSA give tri-rated cable a voltage rating of 600 V, while it is rated at 1000 V in the BS 6231 standard.

UL 758

UL 758 is a standard maintained by UL LLC, principally for the U.S. market. This standard covers "Appliance Wiring Material" ("AWM"), including single-insulated conductors and individual insulated conductors. Wire meeting the requirements of UL Style 1015 is considered tri-rated wire. UL Style 1015 specifies wire sized from 28 to 9 AWG, with a maximum temperature of 105 °C, a voltage rating of 600 V, and PVC insulation with a thickness of .

CSA 22.2

CSA 22.2 Part 210 covers "Appliance Wiring Material".
CSA 22.2 Part 127 covers "Equipment and lead wires".

Toyota model codes. Every Toyota vehicle has a model code which describes the basic vehicle (e.g. Corolla), its generation and major options (engine type, gearbox type, body style, grade level). The model codes fall into three periods, 1937 to late 1950s, late 1950s to late 1970s and late 1970s to present. There was some overlap as new models were phased in using new codes while old models were phased out using the old codes. The model code is not the same as the VIN.

1937 to 1956
Each model was known by its engine code and a single letter for the chassis/body.

Examples:

1956 to 1977
Each model was known by its engine code, chassis code, one or two digits for its generation, a single digit for variations within the generation and more letters representing options.

Bristol XLRQ. The Bristol XLRQ-1 was a 12-seat amphibious glider of the Bristol Aeronautical Corporation, New Haven, Connecticut (USA), developed for the United States Marine Corps in 1942-43. Only two prototypes were built before the USMC scrapped the idea of glider use in 1943.

Development
Inspired by the use of gliders by Germany, the United States Navy and USMC initiated a glider program in May 1941. Two glider types were envisioned, a 12-seat and a 24 seat-type. The Naval Aircraft Factory was requested to undertake preliminary design of the gliders, which were to be constructed of wood or composite materials. The idea was to have enough gliders to transport one battalion of Marines (715 men) with equipment. Consolidated PBYs should be used to tow the gliders. The Marines requested a glider capable of landing and take off from both land and water, be capable of static line parachute jumping and have exterior machine guns.

In 1942, the USMC established Marine Glider Group 71 at Page Field, Parris Island, South Carolina (USA), using the Schweizer LNS-1 and Pratt-Read LNE-1, later also Aeronca LNR-1 gliders for training. For towing the unit used N3N Canary biplane trainers and J2F Duck amphibians.

Design
For the 12-seat type the beach assault role in mind, the U.S. Navy ordered prototypes, the Allied Aviation Corporation XLRA-1 and the Bristol Aeronautical Corporation XLRQ-1. Technically, the gliders were successful designs, and 100 of each were ordered. Also a licence production by the Naval Aircraft Factory as the LRN-1 was envisioned.

Although the U.S. Navy ordered four XLRQ-1 prototypes, only two were built (BuNos 11561 and 11562). The glider had a retractable landing gear and the wing roots provided lateral stability on the water.

However, glider assault was not tactically feasible against small, heavily defended islands in the Pacific, not enough gliders were arriving from factories and too many pilots were being assigned to the glider program. Therefore, the program was scrapped in 1943.

"Patterning Method to Produce Nanoscale Magnetic Structures Using Polymer Self Assembly": We demonstrate that it is possible to produce a magnetic nanopattern on a substrate by using a self assembled co-polymer film as a mask. The scale of the pattern can be selected to range from several nanometers to micrometres. The pattern can be produced on any arbitrary magnetic film or interface and hence the method is applicable to metal multi-layers produced using ultra high vacuum or MBE. The use of this method to produce a working Giant Magneto Resistance device is demonstrated. Developers: Richard J. Gambino, Miriam Rafailovich, Jonathan Sokolov, Shaoming Zhu (1997).
"A Compatibilizer for Immiscible Polymer Blends" Developers: Miriam Rafailovich, Jonathan Sokolov, Benjamin Chu, Benjamin Hsiao A procedure was developed for the universal compatibilization of polymer blend thin films using surface functional zed exfoliated clays. The clays are non specific and compatiblization of general multi -component systems is possible (2000).

IAF Aerobatic Team. The IAF Aerobatic Team is the aerobatic display team of the Israeli Air Force. Until summer 2010 the team flew the IAI Tzukit, a variant of the French Fouga Magister manufactured under license by Israel Aerospace Industries.  Since then the team operates four Beechcraft T-6 Texan II aircraft (#478, #484, #493, and #494).

The team typically flies demonstrations at the graduation ceremony of the IAF flight academy and on Israel's independence day. Based at Hatzerim Airbase, the team is staffed by IAF Flight Academy personnel and its pilots are active instructors.

Ido Nehoshtan, the commander of the Israeli Air Force in 2008–2012 is a former member of the team, as is Eitan Ben Eliyahu, commander of the Israeli Air Force in 1996–2000.

Tzukit era 
The Tzukit, a jet-powered trainer, was used in the selection and training of IAF Flight Academy cadets. It was a modified version of the French Fouga Magister, which had served the IAF in the training role since 1960. The Fouga Magister also saw limited combat against Egyptian and Jordanian forces during the 1967 Six-Day War. A number of aircraft were lost to enemy fire.

The Magisters were later radically revamped by the IAI and fitted for carrying advanced motors and equipment. The first prototype of the Tzukit took to the air in September 1980, and was handed over to the IAF in May 1981 for initial testing. At the IAF's request certain modifications were carried out and included in the first serial production Tzukits, and deliveries to the IAF started June 1983. All Tzukit aircraft had been delivered to the IAF by 1986.

These aerobatic aircraft were always fully armed, according to a senior Air Force officer who spoke to the Jerusalem Post.

Brooks & Doxey. Brooks & Doxey was a textile machinery manufacturer from West Gorton, Manchester in England. It was founded in 1859. It was incorporated in 1920.  The company used the Union Iron Works, West Gorton. The company also had a factory in Stockport.
Ferranti bought the old Union Iron Works to make mainframe computers in 1956. It later became ICT ('International' Computers & Tabulators), then ICL.  ICT grafted  a ‘modern’ entrance on but kept the works.

History
The company made the full range of preparation and spinning machinery. In the 1920s it acquired Lord Bros. of Todmorden. 

In the recession of the 1930s, Platt Brothers, Howard and Bullough, Brooks and Doxey, Asa Lees, Dobson and Barlow, Joseph Hibbert, John Hetherington and Tweedales and Smalley merged to become  Textile Machinery Makers Ltd., but the individual units continued to trade under their own names until the 1970, when they were rationalised into one company called Platt UK Ltd. In 1991 the company name changed to Platt Saco Lowell.
