ASI Flashcards
ASI
it is based on PITOT tube, it measur the Total pressure and from the formule pressure Pt = Pressure Dynamic + Static Pressure.
Dynamic pressure = ½ ρV² we can estrapolate the speed
how work
it substracted the Totel Pressure from the static.
Static pressur eis present inside the case of the instrument and the total Pressure is fit inside the capsule. The expasion or contraction of the capsule will be proportional to the change.
ASI Error
Instrument Error > manufacturing imperfection
Position Error > generation of overflow close the static port
Manouvre Error > change in AOA
Different type of speed
IAS - instrument read
CAS - IAS corrected by Position and Instrument error
EAS - CAS corrected by Compressibility error(Pressure Altitude)
TAS - EAS corrected by density error
Color ASI
White arc - flap operate range(full flap, LG down) up to Vfe Green - normal operate (Vs1 to Vno) Yellow - caution range (Vno to Vne) Red line - Vne Blu line - Vyse
Vno
Max normal operating limit speed. Green
Vne
The Never Exceed speed - Red line
VsO
The stall speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. Begin white arch
Vs1
The stall speed or the minimum steady flight speed in a specified configuration. Begin green arch
Vfe
Max Flap Extension speed - End white Arch
Vlo
Max Landing Gear Operation speed (up or down)
Vle
Max speed Landing Gear Extended
Vmca
Min speed you can control without engine(engine failure)
Vyse
best rate of climb speed with one engine failed blu line
TAS > CAS
M<0.4 SLOW AIRCRAFT
TAS=√(ρ0/ρ) * CAS
ρ0 density MSL 1.225 kg/m3
MSL ISA CAS=TAS
