primary (flight) instrument Explanation: Creo que hace referencia a instrumentos: Instrumento Primario de Vuelo. Una manera más indicada de describirlo en español es usando "indicadores" en vez de "instrumentos". En el párrafo que sigue habla de la modificación de un sistema de control de vuelo que incluye el primario: All Weather Flight Control System (AWFCS) The AWFCS modification is necessitated to alleviate reliability and maintainability problems presently being experienced due to the aging (or rather aged) avionics systems on the C-141. The system's functionality includes: autopilot, autothrottle, yaw damping, ground collision warning, primary flight instrument display, and warning display. LRUs installed by this modification (4 6x8" AMLCD Display Units (DUs), 2 Automatic Flight Control Processors (AFCPs), 2 Display Processor Units (DPUs), and 2 Display Avionics Management Units) replace approximately 19 antiquated LRUs, Indicators, and Controls. Additionally, a new Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) and Multi-function Standby Airspeed/Attitude/Altitude Indicator (w/independant airdata source) are installed during this modification. |

Air Traffic Controller Explanation: Hi there, In any airport it'll be the person who works in the "tower" and controls all landings and take off. Saludos, Ann Louise Reference: http://www.google.es/search?q=Air+traffic+controller&ie=UTF-... |

Flight Dispatcher Explanation: This seldom heard of position is the one that schedules all flights, aircrafts, and must know weight capacity, routes, and be able to reroute flights (among other duties). The information is then used by the Air Traffic Controlers. My son-in-law is a Dispathcher for Alaska Airlines/Horizon. |
