◉ 14.7.
Answer: The average pressure at sea level is ____ pounds per sq. inch
which corresponds to 29.92 inches of mercury.
◉ less.
Answer: Lower pressure results in air that is ____ dense. (more or
less)
◉ water vapor.
Answer: Moisture in the atmosphere is the invisible gas known as

◉ greater.
Answer: The higher the temperature, the _____ amount of water
vapor the air can hold.
◉ decrease.
Answer: An increase in water vapor (higher humidity) results in a
_____ in air density.

___________.
◉ increases.
Answer: If air density increases, density altitude will decrease, and
aircraft performance will ______.
◉ higher; lower.
Answer: A decrease in air density means a ______ density altitude; an
increase in air density means a ______ density altitude.
◉ reduced.
Answer: High elevations coupled with hot and humid conditions
would mean aircraft performance would be _____.
◉ longitudinal.
Answer: The _____ axis runs through the fuselage, nose to tail, and
controls the angle of bank and aircraft heading.
◉ roll.
