The defense's case is repeatedly undermined by the judge and McCoy, but eventually McCoy changes his mind and submits the flight attendant's statement at trial, prompting a plea bargain.

As the body prepares to deal with a threat, blood pressure, heart rate, perspiration, blood flow to the major muscle groups are increased, while immune and digestive functions are inhibited ( the fight or flight response ).

A Nobel Prize was awarded to Earl Sutherland in 1971 for discovering the key role of AC-III in human liver, where adrenaline indirectly stimulates AC to mobilize stored energy in the " fight or flight " response.

An economic depression that had begun in 1967 peaked in 1972, exacerbated by capital flight, plummeting private investment, and withdrawal of bank deposits in response to Allende's socialist program.

There are many physiological changes in the body associated with fear, which can be summarized as the " fight or flight " response.

The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires ( hence the fly-by-wire term ), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the ordered response.

Electronic fly-by-wire systems can respond flexibly to changing aerodynamic conditions, by tailoring flight control surface movements so that aircraft response to control inputs is appropriate to flight conditions.

Assuming one has overcome the mind's initial flight response in those first torturous minutes, the body fights back by invoking a " blood rush ".

Contributing factors include the following: First, the first officer's predisposition to overreact to wake turbulence ; second, the training provided by American Airlines that could have encouraged pilots to make large flight control inputs ; third, the first officer likely did not understand an airplane's response to large rudder inputs at high airspeeds or the mechanism by which the rudder rolls a transport-category airplane ; finally, light rudder pedal forces and small pedal displacement of the A300-600 rudder pedal system increased the airplane's susceptibility to a rudder misuse.

Some have argued that 1997-1998 represented a monetary policy bind, just as the early 1970s had represented a fiscal policy bind, and that while asset inflation had crept into the United States ( which demanded that the Fed tighten the money supply ), the Federal Reserve needed to ease liquidity in response to the capital flight from Asia.

An animal defending against a predator may engage in either " fight or flight " in response to predator attack or threat of attack, depending on its estimate of the predator's strength relative to its own.

In his response, Morris accused Finkelstein and Masalha of " outworn preconceptions and prejudices " and reiterated his support for a multifaceted explanation for the Arab flight.

Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm.

White flight occurred, in part, as a response to black people moving into white urban neighborhoods.

Despite such problems, IMF policy in response to crises, which is supposed to be guided by neoliberal ideas such as the Washington Consensus, is to increase liberalization of the economy and decrease barriers, allowing bigger capital flight and the chance for foreign firms to shore up their monopolies.

As a result of the influx, some white families moved to different communities and neighborhoods in a response known as " white flight ".

This flight had the backing of State Senator Spencer Feld, but the response proved disappointing, and Feld abandoned the effort after six months.

Promotes a " fight or flight " response, corresponds with arousal and energy generation, and inhibits digestion.

* On May 15, 2010, at just before 11: 00am, a Cathay Pacific Airbus A340 commercial flight from Hong Kong was intercepted by two Canadian CF-18 Hornets in response to a bomb threat.

These natural chemicals, part of the fight or flight response, produce the same effect as a morphine-like drug, increasing the pain tolerance of the submissive as the scene becomes more intense.

Several technology research and development efforts exist to integrate the functions of aircraft flight control systems such as ailerons, elevators, elevons, flaps, and flaperons into wings to perform the aerodynamic purpose with the advantages of lower RCS for stealth via simpler geometries and lower complexity ( mechanically simpler, fewer or no moving parts or surfaces, less maintenance ), and lower mass, cost ( up to 50 % less ), drag ( up to 15 % less during use ) and, inertia ( for faster, stronger control response to change vehicle orientation to reduce detection ).

This will activate the " fight or flight " response to ensure action against the attempt at sexual infidelity in their partner ( Buss, 1992 ).

* Walter Bradford Cannon coins the term fight or flight to describe an animal's response to threats.

It was only a fifteen-minute flight, but before it was through Greg felt himself developing a case of claustrophobia.

He was about to make a gas check on his flight when Todman's voice broke in: `` Sweeneys!!

during long weeks the plan for his flight was rehearsed.

for what had happened on the common was only terror and flight ; ;

He was prancing along the hall, heading for the next flight of stairs.

Their flight was delayed, Dunn said, when a boarding ramp inflicted some minor damage to the wing of the plane.

It was probably man's first successful flight in a missile.

Her first actual flight, for she and her kind had made mock flights on dummy panels since she was eight, showed her complete mastery of the techniques of her profession.

The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968 and it succeeded in landing the first humans on Earth's Moon in 1969 through 1972.

While the Mercury capsule could only support one astronaut on a limited Earth orbital mission, the Apollo spacecraft was to be able to carry three astronauts on a circumlunar flight and eventually to a lunar landing.

The rival forces met at Sievershausen on 9 July 1553, and after a combat of unusual ferocity Albert was put to flight.

Scalich saved his life by flight, but Funck was executed.

In the general engagement which followed, Abner was defeated and put to flight.

Peter felt insulted: the flight of the tsarevich to a foreign potentate was a reproach and a scandal, and he had to be recovered and brought back to Russia at all costs.

American Airlines Flight 77 was a passenger flight which was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks.

Hani Hanjour, one of the hijackers who was trained as a pilot, assumed control of the flight.

By the time mission control issued the wake-up call to the crew for flight day two, the spacecraft was approximately away from the Earth, traveling at about.

As the Apollo 16 spacecraft was not due to arrive in lunar orbit until flight day four, flight days two and three were largely preparatory days, consisting of spacecraft maintenance and scientific research.

The remainder of flight day four was spent making observations and preparing for activation of the Lunar Module, undocking, and landing the next day.

The penultimate day of the flight was largely spent performing experiments, aside from a twenty minute press conference during the second half of the day.

Today automated flight control is common to reduce pilot error and workload at key times like landing or takeoff. Autopilot was first invented by Lawrence Sperry during World War II to fly bomber planes steady enough to hit precision targets from 25, 000 feet.

Following the Glorious Revolution, the line of succession to the English throne was governed by the Bill of Rights 1689, which declared that the flight of James II from England to France during the revolution amounted to an abdication of the throne and that James ' son-in-law, ( and nephew ) William of Orange, and his wife, James ' daughter, Mary, were James ' successors, who ruled jointly as William III and Mary II.
