cam /km/ noun an oval or egg-shaped wheel which, when rotating, converts circular motion into recipro-cating motion . In a piston engine, the shape of each cam is designed to give the correct amount of opening to the valve.
CAMFAX /kmfks/ noun the civil aviation meteorological facsimile net-work
camplate /kmple.t/ noun a rotat-ing or non-rotating plate with cams on it
. The fuel pump consists of a rotor assembly fitted with several plungers, the ends of which bear onto a non-rotat-ing camplate.
camshaft /km.ɑft/ noun a rotat-ing shaft carrying cams, which opens and closes valves in a piston engine . As the camshaft rotates, the cam will trans-mit a lifting force.
canard /knɑd/ noun a projection similar to a small wing fitted close to the nose of an aircraft and designed to
increase its horizontal stability candela /kndil./ noun the SI unit of brightness of a light . The red and green wing tip navigation lights must be at least 5 candela. (NOTE: It is usually written cd with figures.)
candle power /knd(.)l paυ./
noun a unit to measure the brightness of a light . Estimation of visibility is achieved by noting the distances at which lights of a known candle power can be observed.
canopy /kn.pi/ noun 1. a transpar-ent cover, typically on some fighters, light aircraft and gliders, designed to slide backwards and forwards or hinge upwards to allow pilots to enter or leave an aircraft 2. a covering to protect peo-ple in a life raft .

time to build up a larger charge, or capacitance. (NOTE: Capacitance is measured in farads and can either be a fixed amount or variable amount.)
capacitive /k.ps.t.v/ adjective
referring to the ability of a system of conductors and insulators to store an electrical charge . Overspeed is usually a fault in the constant speed drive unit which causes the generator to over-speed and damage the capacitive loads on the aircraft.
