Airplane Systems and Insturements Flashcards
1
Q
What type of errors an altimeter is subjected to?
A
1) Mechanical erros 2) Inherent erros High pressure to low pressure (true altitude will be lower) Low Pressure to high pressure (true altitude will be higher)
2
Q
Airspeed errors
A
1) Position eror (slip stream) 2) Density eror change in altitude and temperature is not compensated 3) Compressibility eror (when speed is more than 180)
3
Q
Indicated Airspeed (IAS)
A
What you see on the instrument
4
Q
True Airspeed (TAS)
A
Corrected speed for non-standard pressure and temperature
5
Q
Groundspeed (GS)
A
Speed on the ground
6
Q
Calibrated Airspeed (CAS)
A
indicated airspeed corrected for instrument and position error.
