|
how many pitot-static systems does the b737 have
|
3
|
|
|
how many barometric altimeters does the b737 have
|
3
|
|
|
what are the 3 pitot-static system instruments on the b737
|
airspeed indicator (gives indicated airspeed)
vertical speed indicator (VSI) (gives rate of climb/descent in fpm) altimeter (gives height above MSL) |
|
|
name the 2 gyroscopic instruments on the b737
|
the directional gyro (DG) (gives heading) and the attitude indicator (gives pitch and roll information)
|
|
|
what does the VSI (or VVI) stand for and what info does it give a pilot
|
vertical speed indicator (vertical velocity indicator)
gives the pilot rate of climb and rate of descent in fpm |
|
|
what is a radar altimeter
|
it gives the pilot the exact altitude above the ground below the aircraft
|
|
|
what does CDI stand for and what information does it give a pilot
|
course deviation indicator
tells a pilot if they are left/right of course |
|
|
what does the DG stand for and what info does it give
|
directional gyro
gives the pilot heading information |
|
|
what does HSI stand for and what info does it give a pilot
|
horizzontal situation indicator
gives a pilot VOR, ILS, DME, and heading info and it is a primary aircraft attitude instrument |
|
|
what does RMI stand for and what info does it give a pilot
|
radio magnetic indicator
it points towards 2 VORs or 2 NDBs |
|
|
what does HDI stand for and what info does it give a pilot
|
horizontal deviation indicator
gives a pilot VOR, ILS, DME, heading, pitch, and roll info and it is a primary aircraft attitude instrument (deluxe HSI) |
|
|
what does EFIS stand for and what is it
|
electronic flight instrument system (AKA glass cockpit)
|
|
|
what is weather radar used for
|
it uses radar to indicate precipitation, and it allows pilots to deviate around thunderstorms
|
|
|
is it possible to dispatch a b737 into areas of known or forecast thunderstorms
|
yes, as long as the weather radar is operating and the thunderstorms are not forecast to be severe. scattered or broken areas of thunderstorms are permissible, since the pilots can deviate around them
|
|
|
what does FMS stand for and what is it
|
flight management system
it is a computerized system that provides the pilot with navigation, weight and balance, and performance information. |
