Chapter 4.10 - Exam Review Flashcards
What is the reading on the subscale if an Aircraft’s Altimeter is set to indicate Aerodrome Elevation?
Local QNH.
When descending from cruise at 6000 feet, at what point should you change the Altimeter setting from Area QNH to Local QNH for Landing?
At top of descent.
True or False. With 1013.2 hPa set on the subscale, an Aircraft’s Altimeter will indicate Pressure Height?
True.
What Height is the Transition Level when the QNH is above 1013 hPa?
FL 110.
Is cruise permitted within the Transition Layer?
No.
On descent from FL 115, where would you change the Altimeter setting from Standard Pressure to Local QNH?
Prior to entering the Transition Layer.
What is the lowest available flight level for a VFR flight on an easterly track if the Area QNH is 996 hPa?
FL 135.
On climb to cruise at FL 125, where do you change the Altimeter setting from local QNH to 1013.2 hPa?
At the Transition Altitude.
True or False. Whenever an accurate QNH I available and the Aircraft is at a known Elevation, Pilot must conduct an accuracy check of the Aircraft Altimeter?
True.
