Study Notes
ATOMATOFLAMES Flashcards Overview
- A (Airspeed Indicator): Essential for measuring the aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air.
- T (Tachometer): Indicates engine RPM, crucial for monitoring each engine's operational level.
- O (Oil Pressure Gauge): Monitors the oil pressure within each engine. Essential for engine maintenance and performance.
- M (Manifold Pressure Gauge): Measures the pressure of the intake manifold, important for understanding engine performance at various altitudes.
- A (Altimeter): Critical for altitude measurement, informs pilots of the aircraft's current height above sea level.
- T (Temperature Gauge): Displays the temperature for each liquid-cooled engine, providing insight into engine health.
- O (Oil Temperature Gauge): Similar to the temperature gauge, but specifically tracks oil temperature in liquid-cooled engines.
- F (Fuel Gauge): Indicates the quantity of fuel in the tank, vital for flight planning and safety.
- L (Landing Gear Position Indicator): Shows the status of the landing gear, confirming whether it is up or down.
- A (Anti-Collision Lights): Designed to increase visibility of the aircraft to prevent mid-air collisions.
- M (Magnetic Compass): A traditional navigation tool that indicates the aircraft's heading relative to magnetic north.
- E (ELT): Emergency Locator Transmitter; used for distress signaling in case of an emergency.
- S (Safety Belts): Restraints for passengers and crew, critical for safety during flight.
