Altimeter

Question 1

As a rule of thumb, altitude corrections of less than 100 feet should be corrected by using a

Answer 1

half bar width on the attitude indicator.

1/2 on AI

Question 2

For maintaining straight and level flight, which instrument displays a constant indication of altitude?

Answer 2

Altimeter.

Question 3

Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

Answer 3

When standard atmosphere conditions exist.

When pressure = True, STD atmosphere exist
PT STD

Question 4

According to 14 CFR Part 91, what do you set your altimeter to if your aircraft is not equipped with a radio?

Answer 4

Departure airport elevation.

Question 5

How does a pilot normally obtain the current altimeter setting during an IFR flight in Class E airspace below 18,000 feet?

Answer 5

ATC periodically advises the pilot of the proper altimeter setting.

Question 6

Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower-than-actual altitude?

Answer 6

Air temperature warmer than standard.

Lower than Actual = AT Warmer than STD

Question 7

A hazardous situation can occur when true altitude is lower than indicated altitude. This can occur when your altimeter is set to 29.92”

Answer 7

in colder than standard air temperature.

Hazardous True lower = Colder
