Instrument Flying Flashcards
What are the three three cross check errors?
Fixation
Omission
Emphasis
Omission and emphasis differences
Omission is excluding one instrument and emphasis is relying on one instrument more than enough
What are the two methods of instrument flying
1) Control and performance
2) Primary and Support
What is the control method of instrument flying?
Control – Performance — Navigation
1) Establish an altitude with RPM and attitude indicator
2) Trim the plane and cross check
What are the categories of primary and support method?
Pitch, Bank and Power
What are the Pitch instruments?
Airspeed, Attitude, VSI and Altimeter
What are the bank instruments ?
Attitude, Turn, Heading,
What are the power instruments?
Airspeed, RPM and Airspeed.
In power setting, Primary and Support Instruments when establish and support?
Establish P:Pressure Gauge S: Airspeed Maintain P: Airspeed S: Pressure Gauge
Straight and Level Flight Pitch Control: Primary and Support Instruments when establish and support?
Establish P:Atitude S: Airspeed, Altimeter, VSI Maintain P: Altimeter S: Airspeed, Atitude, VSI
What instrument is the best to decide for Pitch?
Altimeter
100 ft corrections on pitch should be:
2bar
Straight and Level Flight Bank Control Primary and Support Instruments when establish and support?
P:A Heading
S: Attitude and Turn Coordinator
Standard Rate Turns bank Control
Establish P:Attidue S: Turn, Heading, VSI Maintain P: Heading S: Attitude indicator
Rate of turn depends on _________
Horizontal component of lift
Standard Rate Turns Pitch Control
Establish P: Attitude S: VSI, Altimeter Maintain P: Altimeter S: Attitude and VSI
Primary instrument for the following in a steep turn: Bank: Pitch: Support Pitch: Power:
Bank: Attitude Indicator
Pitch: Altimeter
Support Pitch: VSI
Power: Airspeed
Constant Airspeed for climbs and pitch control
Establish P: Attitude S: VSI, Altimeter Airspeed Maintain P: Airspeed S: Attitude, Altimeter, VSI
Constant Rate for climbs and pitch control
Establish P: Attitude S: VSI, Altimeter Airspeed Maintain P: VSI S: Attitude, Altimeter, Airspeed
If Gyro fails,
Compass and Turn
How do you know the Lag and Lead time?
Equal to latitude that we are on.
What speed it used to determine the performance of an aircraft?
Indicated airspeed
What is equivalent airspeed?
Concern for planes speed over 200. Compressed air cause sudden changes
What is TAS?
Actual speed moves in the air
TAS Increase of decrease when temp. increase?
increase
VNE VNO VSO VS1 VFE VA
160 126 50 44 103 111, 88
What are the types of altitudes?
Indicated Altitude Calibrated Altitude Pressure Altitude Density Altitude Tru Altitude Absolute Altitude
Formula for Pressure and Density Altitude
(29.92- Current Altimeter)*1000
Pressure + (120*(OAT-ISA))
When flying hot to cold, look_______
below
What happens to Altimeter, Airspeed and VSI when static port is used?
Altimeter: reads a little higher
Airspeed: is a little faster
VSI: Shows momentary climb
