It is not simply a measure of skill or technique, but also a measure of a pilot’s awareness of the aircraft, the environment in which it operates, and of his\her own capabilities. :Airmanship is defined by the US FAA as: :*A sound acquaintance with the principles of flight, :*The ability to operate an airplane with competence and precision both on the ground and in the air, and :*The exercise of sound judgment that results in optimal operational safety and efficiency.

Tombac
Tombac, or tombak, is a brass alloy with high copper content and 5–20% zinc content. Tin, lead or arsenic may be added for colouration. It is a cheap malleable alloy mainly used for medals, ornament, decoration and some munitions. In older use, the term may apply to brass alloy with a zinc content as high as 28–35%. Etymology The term ''tombak'' is derived from ''tembaga'', an Indonesian/Malay word of Javanese origin meaning copper. ''Tembaga'' entered Dutch usage concurrent with their colonisation of Indonesia.
