flight instruments & readings Flashcards
standard atmosphere at sea level
barometer= 29.92
termperature=59F or 15C
pitot static systems
airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator, altimeter
airspeed indicator
only instrument to use pitot and static pressure
V(so)
lowest white arc= stall speed, minimum steady flight in landing configuration
V(s1)
lowest green = stall speed in specific configuriation
V(fe)
upper white= max flaps open
V(no)
upper green = max structural cruising speed
V(ne)
never exceed speed
V(a)
design maneuvering speed listed in POH
V(lo)
max landing gear operating airspeed
V(le) max speed with landing gear open
indicated altitude
on altimeter
pressure altitude
height above standard datum plane
density altitude
pressure alt. corrected for temp
true altitude
vert distance above MSL
