  "definition": "An abbreviation for Stability Augmentation System, an automatic flight control component that improves an aircraft's handling characteristics without direct input from the pilot. It uses sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers to detect undesirable motions, such as oscillations or dutch roll, and applies small, rapid control inputs to dampen them. SAS operates on one or more axes (pitch, roll, yaw) and is distinct from a full autopilot system.",
