Q

Describe how the airspeed indicator works

A

The pitot tube connects to a diaphragm. The static port connects to the chamber and fills the area around the diaphragm with atmospheric air. That diaphragm is connected to linkages. And as the diaphragm fills with outside air (the more full the faster the airspeed) it turns the dial indicator on the outside of the gauge.

Q

How does the altimeter work in an aircraft

A

Inside the chamber there is an aneroid wafer. The aneroid wafer is sealed with an internal pressure of 29.92

The wafer is attached to linkages

As the fills the remaining space in the chamber with atmospheric air the wafer compresses or expands based on the pressure giving altitude.

Q

If isobars are relatively close together on a surface weather chart or a constant pressure chart what does that mean

A

When isobars are close together it means that a steep pressure gradient exists which indicates higher wind speeds

Shallow pressure gradient isobars spaced far apart. Means wind speeds will typically be less
