Name the three types of air pressure
Static, Dynamic & Total
Static
Ambient Air pressure, pressure caused by the atmosphere.
Air Molecules - Pressure
Are packed more tightly at lower elevation. That means static air pressure is higher on the ground.
How is static air pressure measured
Measured in inches of mercury
What is the number for the measure of normal standard day at sea level. (Average)
29.92
tell me whats going between 29.92 & 28.92. how much reduction by how many feet?
Pressure reduces by one inch of mercury every thousand feet above seal level.
Total air pressure
Combination of dynamic and static air pressure
Air speed indicator
Uses dynamic air pressure to get a reading, which is also done through the PITOT tube.
