What is true altitude? - Answer- The actual measured vertical distance (height) above mean sea
level.
What is absolute altitude? - Answer- The vertical distance above the surface. It can be calculated
by subtracting the surface elevation from true altitude
What is pressure altitude - Answer- The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is
set to 29.92
Altimeter setting is the value to the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set the altimeter
indicates - - Answer- true altitude at field elevation
Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude> - Answer- when at sea level
under standard conditions
If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 19.85 what change occurs? - Answer- 700-foot
increase in indicated altitude
If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in
indication? - Answer- Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower
If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter
setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate - Answer- lower than the actual altitude above
sea level
If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the
altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate - Answer- higher than the actual altitude
above sea level
, how do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - Answer- Pressure levels are raised on
warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude? - Answer- in colder than
standard air temperature
Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude? - Answer-
Air temperature warmer than standard
What is an advantage of an altitude indicator that is displayed digitally? - Answer- The horizon line
extends all the way to the edges of the PFD
The Air Data Computer (ADC) does what? - Answer- Combines information received by
temperature and pilot sensors. The data is accurately depicted for altitude and indicated airspeed.
During flight, when are the indicators of a magnetic compass accurate? - Answer- When the
aircraft is in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight
In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if -
Answer- the airplane is accelerated on an east or west heading - this is because of the downward
pull of the Earth's magnetic field.
In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south if -
Answer- the airplane is decelerated on a west heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated of decelerated, the magnetic compass will
normally indicate - Answer- correctly when on a north or south heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the west if -
Answer- A right turn is entered from a north heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the east if -
Answer- A left turn is entered from a north heading
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the
right from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere? - Answer- The compass will indicate a
turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the - Answer- aircraft metals or electrical
equipment distort the Earth's lines of magnetic force within the aircraft and cause the compass to
"deviate" from an accurate reading
Deviate error of the magnetic compass is caused by - Answer- aircraft metals or electrical
equipment distort the Earth's lines of magnetic force within the aircraft and cause the compass to
"deviate" from an accurate reading
(figure 27) An aircraft departs an airport in the eastern daylight time zone at 0945 EDT for a 2-hour
flight to an airport located in the central daylight time zone. The landing should be at what
coordinated universal time? - Answer- Convert EDT to UTC -> add flight time
