By the relationship of the miniature airship to the deflected horizon bar

Question 2

Glass cockpit aircraft refer to

Answer 2

Aircraft with both digital and limited number of analog instrument for backup.

Question 3

Gyroscopic Precession on a heading indicator

Answer 3

Drifting from heading due to friction and earth’s rotation. Realign with magnetic compass during straight and level flight.

Question 4

To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be

Answer 4

Periodically re aligned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses.

Displayed in the altimeter.

Question 13

True Altitude

Answer 13

Vertical distance above sea level

Question 14

Absolute Altitude

Answer 14

Vertical distance above the surface

Question 15

Pressure Altitude

Answer 15

Barometric pressure scale set to 29.92”

Question 16

barometric ratio is?

Answer 16

1 inch of barometric pressure equals 1,000 feet.

Question 17

From high to low, look out below

Answer 17

Flying from high pressure area to low pressure area, the altimeter indicates too high of a reading.

If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted altimeter will indicate?

Answer 21

Lower than the actual altitude above sea level

Question 22

If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of low pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted altimeter will indicate?

Answer 22

Higher than the actual altitude above sea level

Question 23

How do variations in temperature affect the ultimate?

Answer 23

Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude.
