Air Speed Indicator Flashcards
Principle of ASI
Differential Pressure Guage that measures Dynamic by subtracting static from pitot
White arc up and down
Vso - Vfe
Green arc up and down
Vs1 - Vno
Yellow arc up and down
Vno - vne
Vs0
stall speed in landing config
Vfe
Max speed with flaps extended
Vs1
stall speed in clean config
Vno
normall operation
Vne
never to be exceeded
Vyse
blue bar, best rate of climb for one engine out and max weight
Vlo
max landing gear operation speed
Vle
max speed with landing gear extended
ASI correction process
IAS -> CAS (Intrument & Pressure Position) -> EAS (compressibility) -> TAS (Density)
A/c will takeoff at which constant speed?
CAS`
Errors of ASI
BLIPCD
Blockage in ASIs
PLUTO & STULO
Partial blockage of Pitot in ASI
Lag while acceleration/deceleration & PLUTO
Partial blockage in static port in ASI
No error during acc/decc & STULO
Temperature error in ASI
Temp increases - TAS increases
Compressibility error at what speed?
300 kts
Leak in pitot tube ASI
always underread
Dynamic pressure formula
1/2 pv2
