Secondary Flight Controls - ANSWERSFlaps, leading edge devices, spoilers and trim devices Trim Systems - ANSWERSRelieve pilot of the need to maintain constant pressure on flight controls Altimeter Purpose - ANSWERSOne of most vital inst. in acft. Measures where acft is at in atmosphere presents as altitude. Altimeter Hands - ANSWERSShort: 10,000's feet Middle: 1,000's feet Long: 100's feet Vertical Speed Indicator VSI or VVI - ANSWERSIndicates whether plane is climbing, descending or in level flight Ex: rate of climb 500fpm Airspeed Indicator - ANSWERSPressure measured, different colored arcs. White-Flap operating range Yellow-Caution range Red-Never exceed speed Turn Indicators - ANSWERSLike a "level", if ball is uncentered aerodynamic forces are unbalanced.
