how does work the altimeter ?

A

Altimeter works just like a barometer,It measures pressure variations
In straight and level flight (cruise flight) pressure does not change, Wafer volume remains constant, Indicated altitude remains constant
The wafer expension when it’s go higher in altitude and compress in low altitude

A

The magnet of the compass lines up with magnetic lines. They are parallel to the surface at the equator
They are 90° to the surface at the pole.
Causing a downward tilt of the Needle as it comes closer to the north pole.

62
Q

what are isogonic lines ?

A

Isogonic lines are lines on the Earth’s surface along which the declination has the same constant value, and lines along which the declination is zero are called agonic lines.

63

what is agonic line?

A

an imaginary line on the surface of the earth connecting all points at which the declination of the magnetic field of the earth is zero.

64
Q

How many magnetised bars have a compass ?

A

usually 2 magnets

65
Q

What can we do to reduce magnetic dip ?

A

The center of gravity of the aircraft Compass
Is lowered Vertical force causing the DIP
Applied on the normal compass
If the same force is applied on an aircraft compass
The center of gravity is displaced rearward

66
Q

what happen when the aircraft is heading to the north and turning ?

A

the vertical force due to dip, WILL PRODUCE A ROTATION OF THE COMPASS FIRST, IN THE OPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE TURN
THEN IN THE SAME DIRECTION BUT SLOWLIER
This is called: compass lag
S.A.N.D.

67
Q

what happen when the aircraft is heading to the south and turning ?

A

the vertical force due to dip, WILL PRODUCE A ROTATION OF THE COMPASS IN THE SAME DIRECTION THAN THE TURN
BUT FASTER
This is called: compass lead
S.A.N.D.

68
Q

When the aircraft accelerate with a heading east or west what happen to the compass ?

A

The card tips forward The DIP moves the needle downward And rotates the card CCW
Showing a turn to the north
A.N.D.S.

69
Q

When the aircraft decelerate with a heading east or west what happen to the compass ?

A

The card tips rearward
The DIP moves the needle downward And rotates the card CW Showing a turn to the south
A.N.D.S.

70
Q

When readingthe compass

Heading Northor South what should you do ?

A

Make sure The wings are level

71
Q

When readingthe compass Heading Eastor West what should you do ?

A

Make sure The airspeed is constant

72
Q

what is the compass swing ?

A

Aircraft are made of metal and use electricity and radio waves. These will affect the magnetism field around the aircraft. The compass indication is deviated by this field. To correct the deviation, the compass is adjusted on each aircraft. The compass reading is compared
to a master compass outside the aircraft every 30 degrees and the deviation is recorded.

73
Q

where can you find the compass correction card and how many time per year need to be corrected ?

A

in the journey log and in the plane

and it’s one time per year

74
Q

How many axis does work a gyroscope ?

A

3 axis

75
Q

what are the two principle of an gyroscope ?

A

1- rigidity in space (gyroscopic inertia)

2-precession

76
Q

what is the rigidity in space ?

A

Due to inertia, a rotating body will resist any forces applied to modify its axis of rotation.Once rotation is established…It keep the same position

77
Q

what is precession ?

A

Once rotation is established…
A force applied to modify the axis of rotation
will be felt at 90°awayfromthe point where it is applied
In the direction of the rotation

78
Q

what is the apparent precession ?

A

Once set, the directional gyro will maintain a specific direction.
But, the aircraft moves over a rotating earth.
This will oblige the pilot to readjust the gyro for more precision 15° per hour

79
Q

what is the deviation gyro ?

A

The friction between rotating parts will cause an error.

3° to 4°every 15 minutes

80
Q

what are the power sources of the gyroscope ?

A

1- vaccum system

2-electricity

81
Q

what are the instrument using a gyroscope?

and turns around the ____________

A

horizontally / vertical axis

83

A

rigidity in space

88
Q

how The rotor of the DG is mounted and turning around which axis ? and need to be readjust every ?

A

mounted vertically and turning around the horizontal axis

-15min

89
Q

what is apparent precession on the DG ?

A

Gyroscopic inertia keeps the gyro fixed in space so that, it does not move.
But the earth rotating underneath it gives it an apparent motion.
This causes an apparent drift or precession which varies with latitude
It is 15° per hourat the north pole and almost 0° at the equator

90
Q

what is deviation on the DG ?

A

Frictional forces in the gyro system cause a precession too. This precession causes a drift of the card,
Of 3° to 4° every 15 minutes

91

THE APPARENT PRECESSION IS ________.

A

EQUATOR / REDUCED

A

1- directional gyro

2-attitude indicator ( artificial horizon)

93
Q

How does works a turn and bank indicator ?

A

1 -A turn indicator using the precession property of gyroscopes
2 -An Iron ball in a liquid filled tube influenced by gravity and the centrifugal force in a turn.

94
Q

(turn and bank ind.)How is mounted the rotor and on what axis the rotation is ?

A

Rotor mounted vertically and

Rotation axis is perpendicular to aircraft’s longitudinal axis(horizontal axis)

95
Q

The turn and bank reacts to the _____________ deflects the needle in the direction of yaw

A

yaw Precession

note: only the yaw causes a turn indication

Both Roll and Yaw causes a turn indication

A

yaw motion

97

Q

what is a skidding turn ?

A

Ball is influenced by:
Gravity And Centrifugal force If the gravity is less
than Centrifugal force Ball moves outside the turn
