| What is pressure altitude? |
|
Definition
| the altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.29 |
|
|
Term
| Altimeter setting is the value to with the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so teh altimeter indicates |
|
Definition
| true altitude at field elevation |
|

|
Definition
| 700 foot increase in indicated altitude |
|
|
Term
| If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, teh altimeter will indicate |
|
Definition
| lower than the actual altitude above sea level |
|
|
Term
| If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower prressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, teh altimeter will indicated |
|
Definition
| Higher than the actual altitude above sea level |
|
|
Term
| Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicated a lower altitude than true altitude? |
|
Definition
| Air temperature warmer than standard |
|
|
Term
| Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude? |
|
Definition
| In colder than standard air temperature |
|
|
Term
| How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? |
|
Definition
| pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude |
|
|
Term
| The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level fligh is to align the |
|
Definition
| minature airplane to the horizon bar |
|
|
Term
| How should a pilot determine the diection of bank from an attitude indicator such as the one illustrated? |
|
Definition
| by the relationship of the minature airplane (C) to the deflected horizon (B) |
|
|
Term
| A turn coordinator provides an indication of the |
|
Definition
| movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes |
|
|
Term
| To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be |
|
Definition
| periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses |
|
|
Term
| An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be casued by |
|
Definition
| teh oil level being too low |
|
|
Term
| Excessively high engine temperatures will |
|
Definition
| cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage |
|
|
Term
| For internal cooling, air cooled engines are especially dependent on |
|
Definition
| the circulation of lubricating oil |
|
|
Term
