2102 Flashcards
The indicated airspeed is ___________ to the dynamic pressure
directly proportional
It is the air pressure exerted by the atmosphere. We feel this all the time.
Static
The ___________ is vented through small holes to the free undisturbed air on the side of the aircraft.
Static port
Vertical distance between mean sea level and a point on the ground.
Elevation
The short pointer needle in the altimeter is equivalent to ________?
1,000 ft
It is the airspeed corrected for density error (temperature and pressure)
True Airspeed
It is delay in the instrument indication due to rapid changes in climb/ descent rate.
Lag Error
The dynamic pressure depends not only on the airspeed, but also on the __________ of the a
Density
It is the instruments that measures changes in altitude.
Vertical Speed Indicator
It is delay in the VSI indication due to the rapid changes in climb/ descent rate.
Lag Error
In the altimeter: when altitude decrease, the static pressure outside the aneroid gradually ________ causing the aneroid capsule to contract again.
Increase
What is the standard atmospheric pressure in hectopascal pressure unit?
1013 hPa
