and rescue includes many specialty sub-fields, typically determined

by the type of terrain the search is conducted over.

TAC

Type Approval Certificate -

Granted to a product that meets a

minimum set of regulatory, technical and safety requirements.

TETHER

A cord or similar device that anchors something movable to a

stationary point or anchors two items together, such that they

cannot become separated beyond the length of the tether.

TRANSMISSION

Transmission identifies when the ELT is sending a radio signal on

one or more frequencies, which occurs after an ELT has been

activated, either manually or by G-switch.

TSO

Technical Standard Order

–

A TSO is a minimum performance

standard issued by the FAA for specified materials, parts, and

appliances used on civil aircraft.

UIN

Unique Identification Number

–

A numeric string that is associated

with a single entity within a given system.

USCG

United States Coast Guard - The coastal defense, search and

rescue, and maritime law enforcement branch of the United States
Armed Forces and one of the country's eight uniformed services.

UTC

Coordinated Universal Time

–

A time standard based on

International Atomic Time. UTC is the time system used in aviation

and is often associated with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and/or

“Zulu” time.

UUT

Unit Under Test

–

The object that is being tested.

VHF

Very High Frequency

–

The 30 MHz to 300 MHz radio frequency

band.

VSWR

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio

–

The ratio of the amplitude of a

partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude

at an adjacent node (minimum), in an electrical transmission line.

An ideal transmission line would have a VSWR of 1:1.
