|
Airspeed indicator
Vertical speed indicator Altimeter |
|
|
Limitation of altimeter on a warm day?
|
On a warm day, altimeter indicates lower than actual altitude

|
What is absolute altitude?
|
Above terrain

|
|
What is indicated altitude?
|
Read on altimeter

|
|
How does the airspeed indicator work?
|
Measure the pressure difference between the pitot head and the static source
|
|
|
Different types of aircraft speeds?
|
- IAS: observed on speed indicator

|
|
Limitations of the vertical speed indicator (VSI)?
|
Not accurate until the plane is stabilized
