Instruments 1 Flashcards
When turning through North
The compass will lag about 30°
When turning through South
The compass will lead the turn about 30°
When accelerating or descending on an East or West heading
The compass will turn toward North
When decelerating or climbing on a heading of East of West
The compass will turn toward South
What is the control and performance concept
An aircraft is controlled in flight by adjusting the attitude and power as necessary to produce the desired results
Performance Instruments are:
Basic ones: Altimeter, Airspeed Indicator, VSI
Others: EHSI, AOA Indicator, Turn and Bank Indicator
Control Instruments
EADI and PEDD
Changing the pitch attitude without a power adjustment affects:
ASI, Altimeter, VSI
It also affects:
AOA,
Control and Performance Concept Steps
Establish, Trim, Cross-Check, Adjust, Primary Crosscheck Method = Hub and Spoke
Turns of less than 30°
Use bank = number of deg of turn
Turns of 30° or greater
Use 30° of bank
VSI (climb/descent) =
TAS (NM/MIN) x 100 x #of degrees of pitch change
Constant Airspeed Climb/Descent
Power is constant, Pitch to maintain airspeed
Constant Rate Climb/Descent
Power to maintain airspeed, Pitch to maintain rate of climb/descent
Confidence Maneuver Airspeed and Power
220 KIAS, 80% torque
