REVIEWER IN 2102 This feature helps the pilots to quickly distinguish between altitudes in thousand and hundreds of feet. CROSSHATCH FLAG/ 10,000 FLAG This prevents icing on the pitot tube. HEATER This is designed to protect the pitot tube from moisture and dirt entering the pitot tube. BAFFLE PLATE/ BAFFLED PLATE This needs to be in a free stream airflow to provide an accurate measurement as possible. PITOT TUBE Give the three (3) instruments that relies on the Pitot Static System. (1)ALTIMETER, (2)VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR AND (3)AIRSPEED INDICATOR This sensing system collects data covering a wide range of area and inaccessible locations. REMOTE SENSING INSTRUMENT SYSTEM Give the three (3)instruments that Wright Brothers used on their Wright Flyer? (1)Engine Tachometer, (2)Anemometer and (3)Stop Watch The VSI has a lag error when an aircraft made a rapid climb/descent. Usually the delay is between how many seconds? 1-4 Seconds O n t h e A l t i m ete r, w h at i s t h e reading of the triangular needle? Tens of Thousands of Feet What is the vertical distance between mean sea level and a point on the ground? ELEVATION On the airspeed indicator, the static pressure is subtracted to what in order to obtain the dynamic pressure? TOTAL PRESSURE T h e f u n c t i o n o f t h i s i s to gat h e r a n d distribute various air pressures for flight instrumentation. PITOT STATIC SYSTEM What is the actual airspeed in relation to the ground? GROUND SPEED The Airspeed Indicator has a density error. When the density of air is low, what is the IAS? LOWER IAS What does the headwind do to an aircraft? PUSHES THE AIRCRAFT What is the instrument that measures the changes in altitude? VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR The VSI must receive information from what to have an indication? STATIC PORT The instrument that indicates how high the aircraft is. ALTIMETER What type of an Altimeter that sends a radio or laser signal toward the surface and measure the time it takes for the signal to bounce back? RADIO/ RADAR ALTIMETER The devices and systems installed in an aircraft to provide essential information to the pilot about the status and performance of the aircraft while in flight AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTS The component of Pitot Static System is provided in some aircraft to provide static pressure should the primary static source become blocked? ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE T h e e r ro r t h at ca u s e s to h ave a n inaccurate indication because of the minor flaws in the installation and gears of the instrument? INSTRUMENT ERROR 1400 FT 7500 FT 12000 FT In airspeed indicator, what is the relationship of dynamic pressure to the speed of the aircraft? DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL In vertical speed indicator, what is the relationship of static pressure to the altitude of the aircraft? INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL An aneroid wafer is a sealed wafer that is evacuated to an internal pressure of ________. 29.92 INCH OF HG OR 1013 HPA ELEVATION + HEIGHT WILL RESULT IN GETTING THE? ALTITUDE U s e s i n p u t d ata f ro m stat i c p o r t because it utilize static pressure to determine vertical distance between the aircraft and a reference level. ALTIMETER
