Q

is indicated airspeed corrected for
instrument errors and position error (due to incorrect pressure at the
static port caused by airflow disruption)

A

Calibrated Air Speed

23
Q

The direction in which the aircraft’s nose is pointing, measured in degrees from North

A

Heading

24
Q

The actual path of the aircraft over the ground, which may differ from the heading due to wind

A

Track

25
Q

The height of the aircraft above a given reference point, usually sea level

A

Altitude

26
Q

The rate at which the aircraft is climbing or descending, typically measured in feet per minute (fpm)

A

Vertical Speed

27
Q

The orientation of the aircraft relative to the horizon, including pitch (nose up/down) and roll (wing up/down)

A

Attitude

28
Q

The pressure exerted by the atmosphere, used in altimeters to determine altitude

A

Barometric Pressure

29
Q

The difference between true north and magnetic north, which varies by location

A

Magnetic Variation

30
Q

It provides essential information related to airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed

A

Pitot Static System

31
Q

2 subsystems of pitot static system

A
  • Pitot tube
  • Static Port
32
Q

What flight instruments uses the Pitot static system

A
  • Airspeed indicator
  • Altimeter
  • Vertical Speed Indicator
33
Q

Usually mounted on the aircraft’s wing or nose, positioned to face the oncoming air flow

A

Pitot tube

34
Q

What does the pitot tube determine

A

Airspeed

35
Q

Measures the static pressure of the ambient air.

A

Static port

36
Q

Where is the static port located

A

Mounted on the fuselage, away from the airflow disturbance

37
Q

What does the static port determine

A
  • Altitude
  • Vertical Speed
38
Q

How the Pitot-Static System Works?

A

capturing and comparing different types of air pressure

39
Q

The pressure caused by the motion of the aircraft through the air.

A

Dynamic Pressure

40
Q

Dynamic pressure is measured by the

A

Pitot tube

41
Q

How is dynamic pressure used

A

combined with static pressure to determine airspeed

42
Q

The pressure of the still air surrounding the aircraft.

A

Static pressure

43
Q

Static pressure is measured by the

A

Static Port

44
Q

How is static pressure used

A

Used directly by the altimeter and VSI; combined with dynamic pressure for the airspeed indicator.

45
Q

The sum of dynamic and static pressure

A

Total pressure

46
Q

What is the source of total pressure

A

Derived from the pitot tube

47
Q

How is total pressure used

A

Calculating indicated airspeed

48
Q

What to do during pre-flight checkers regarding the pitot static system

A

Check for blockages

49
Q

What to do during in-flight monitoring regarding the pitot static system

A

Be aware of unusual behavior

50
Q

What to do during post-flight inspections regarding the pitot-static system

A

Perform thorough checks

51
Q

This computer, rather than individual instruments, can determine the calibrated airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend data from an aircraft’s Pitot Static System

A

Air Data Computer (ADC)

52
Q

Provides primary flight instruments, including attitude, airspeed, altitude, magnetic heading, DG, VSI, AOA, G-meter, turn rate, slip/skid ball, OAT, and TAS.
