Q

Q34: How is the speed error tape indicated on the ADI?

A

A. Displayed as a green scale that extends above or below the FPV left wing.

35
Q

Q35: What does each tick mark represent on the speed error tape?

A

A. 5 kts

Q

Q36: What is the maximum indication it is possible to see on the speed error tape?

A

A. 15 kts

37
Q

Q37: What does the airspeed trend vector indicate?
