PITO STATIC SYSTEM IS CONNECTED TO WHAT THREE INSTRUMENTS? |
1. ALTIMETER 2. VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR 3. AIRSPEED INDICATOR |
|
|
TWO MAJOR PARTS OF THE PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM: |
1. PITOT TUBE 2. STATIC AIR VENTS
NOTE: • PITOT TUBE IS THE SOURCE OF IMPACT PRESSURE • STATIC AIR VENT IS THE SOURCE OF EXTERNAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE |
|
|
THE ALTIMETER DEPENDS ON WHAT SYSTEM TO FUNCTION? |
STATIC PORT SYSTEM |
|
|
THE VERTICAL SPEED INDICATOR (VSI) MEASURES THE RATE OF CLIMB IN.... |
HUNDREDS OF FEET PER MINUTE
NOTE: UTILIZES STATIC PRESSURE ONLY |
|
|
THE AIRSPEED INDICATOR USES WHAT SYSTEM EXCLUSIVELY? |
PITOT SYSTEM
NOTE: • IMPACT PRESSURE
|
|
|
TYPES OF AIRSPEEDS ARE? |
1. INDICATED AIRSPEED - IS READ DIRECTLY FROM AIRSPEED INDICATOR 2. TRUE AIRSPEED - IAS CORRECT FOR TEMP AND PRESSURE 3. GROUND SPEED - TAS CORRECTED FOR HEAD/TAIL WIND
NOTE: TAS AND IAS ARE APPROXIMATELY EQUAL AT SEA LEVEL. IAS BECOMES LESS THAN TRUE AIRSPEED AS ALTITUDES INCREASE |
|
|
MAGNETIC COMPASS IS |
THE ONLY SELF-CONTAINED DIRECTION-SEEKING INSTRUMENT IN THE AIRCRAFT
NOTE: • LINES ARE IN 30 DEGREES INCRUMENTS • 30 DEGREES WOULD APPEAR AS 3 AND 300 WOULD APPEAR AS 30 |
|
|
TWO TYPES OF COMPASS ERRORS ARE.... |
1. VARIATION - ANGULAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUE NORTH AND INDICATED DIRECTION.
2. DEVIATION - IS A MAGNETIC COMPASS ERROR CAUSED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITHIN THE AIRRAFT |
|
|
WHAT THREE INSTRUMENTS USE THE PROPERTIES OF A GYROSCOPE FOR THEIR OPERATION? |
1. TURN COORDINATOR (ELECTRIC) 2. HEADING INDICATOR (DYRECTIONAL GYRO) 3. ATTITUDE INDICATOR
NOTE: SOME ACFT'S THE GYRO SYSTEM ARE VACUUM, PRESSURE, OR ELECTRICALLY OPERATED. |
|
|
IF THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE VACUUM SYSTEM, WHAT TWO INSTRUMENTS WOULD BE RENDERED INOPERATIVE? |
1. HEADING INDICATOR 2. ATTITUDE INDICATOR |
|
|
WHAT ARE THE TWO FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF GYROSCOPIC ACTION? |
1. RIGIDITY IN SPACE - NEWTON'S FIRST LAW (.. A BODY IN MOTION...)
2. PRECESSION - THE DEFELCTION OF A SPINNING WHEEL WHEN A FORCE IS APPLIED |
|
|
THE TURN COORDINATOR SHOWS THE YAW AN ROLL OF THE ACFT AROUND THE __________ AND __________ AXES |
VERTICLE; LONGITDINAL
NOTE: TWO SEPARATE INSTRUMENTS COMBINED INTO ONE. RATE-OF-TURN AND INCLINOMETER |
|
|
STANDARD RATE OF TURN IS EQUAL TO.... |
3 DEGREES PER SECOUND OR 360 DEGREE TURN IN 2 MINUTES |
|
|
THE SCALE AT THE TOP OF THE ATTITUDE INSTRUMENT INDICATES THE DEGREE OF BANK, EACH LINE USUALLY REPRESENTS _______ DEGREES OF BANK |
10
NOTE: THE ATTITUDE IND IS THE MOST REALISTIC FLIGHT INSTRUMENT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL |
|
|
THE AUTOMATIC DIRECTIONAL FINDER (ADF) IS USED TO NAVIGATE TO NDBS. WHAT DOES IT INDICATES? |
BEARING TO THE STATION |
|
|
WHEN NAVIGATING TO A STATION, THE VOR NEDDLE MUST POINT NORTH AND... |
BE CENTERED
NOTE: • PROVIDED TO AND FROM INDICATION IN RELATION TO THE NAV AID • USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NAV RADIO RECEVIER TO DIAL IN RADIAL TO TH ENAVE AID |
|
|
WHEN THE CROSSED HORIZONTAL (GLIDE SLOPE) AND VERTICAL (LOCALIZER) NEEDLES ARE FREE TO MOVE THROUGH STANDARDS 5-DOT DEFLECTIONS, THEY INDICATE THE POSITION ON THE _____________ COURSE AND ______________ PATH. |
LOCALIZER; GLIDE
NOTE: USED TO MAKE AN INSTRUMENT LANDING APPROACH (ILS) |
|
|
THE RADIO MAGNETIC INDICATOR (RMI) IS DESIGNED TO RECEIVE BOTH _______ AND _______ SIGNAL |
VOR; NDB
NOTE: RMI CAN BE SETUP TO INDICATE EITHER BEARING TO A "WAYPOINT" OR TO A VORTAC USED TO ESTABLISH A "WAYPOINT" |
|
|
THE HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) US A COMBINATION OF THREE INSTRUMENTS, THEY ARE.... |
1. HEADING INDICATOR 2. VOC/LOC INDICATOR 3. GLIDE SLOPE INDICATOR |
|
|
A TRANSPONDER CODE CONSISTS OF FOUR NUMBERS FROM ZERO TO SEVEN WITH _________ POSSIBLE CODES |
4096
NOTE: DISCRETE CODES ASSIGNED TO ONE ACFT FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES SQUAK: "THEN YOU ASSIGNED CODE" IE: NON-DISCRETE CODES • 1200 VFR • 7500 HYJACK • 7600 NO COMMUNICATIONS (NORDO) • 7700 EMERGENCY
|
|
|
THE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DATA BASE IS UPDATED EVERY __________ DAYS |
56 DAYS
NOTE: 28 DAYS FOR SUPLIMENTS |
|
|
TRAFFIC ALERT AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (TCAS) CONSISTS OF THREE FUNCTIONS |
1. SURVEILLANCE 2. COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (CAS) ALGORITHMS 3. AIR-TO-AIR COORDINATION (MODE S TRANSPONDER)
NOTE: TA'S - TRAFFIC ADVISORIES | 45 SEC PRIOR RA'S - RESOLUTION ADVISORIES | 30 SEC PRIOR |
|
|
WHAT OCCURS WHEN THE OXYGEN AVAILABLE TO BODY TISSUES IS INSUFFICIENT TO MEET THEIR NEEDS? |
HYPOXIA
NOTE: • SLOW REACTION • IMPAIRED THINKING • UNUSUAL FATIGUE • PILOTS SOUNDS INTOXICATED • USUALLY OCCURS ABOVE 10,000 FEET MSL |
|
|
OCCURS WHEN THERE IS AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN THE VOLUME OF AIR BREATHED IN AND OUT OF THE LUNGS |
HYPERVENTILATION
NOTE: • DIZZINESS • NAUSEA • DROWSINESS |
|
|
SPATIAL DISORIENTATION (VERTIGO) |
ILLUSIONS IN FLIGHT |
