Astb-e Exam with 100% Correct
Solutions
the uncorrected altitude read directly from the altimeter when it is set to the current
altimeter setting - ANS-indicated altitude
the vertical distance of the airplane above sea level; actual altitude - ANS-true altitude
the vertical distance of an airplane above terrain or ground level - ANS-absolute altitude
the altitude above the standard datum plane; a theoretical level where air pressure
(corrected to 15* C) equals 29.92 inches of mercury - ANS-pressure altitude
measures air pressure reading from the pitot tube - ANS-indicated airspeed
the airspeed that is calculated after taking into account mechanical and positional errors
including the aircraft's altitude - ANS-calibrated airspeed
the airspeed calculated after accounting for compression effects; usually only necessary
at speeds over 200mph - ANS-equivalent airspeed
the airspeed that is calculated after compensation for temp changes as well as
atmospheric pressure changes - ANS-true airpeed
air that is deflected perpendicular to an airfoil's motion - ANS-down wash
bow half of the deck of a ship - ANS-forecastle
distance from waterline to the deck of a ship - ANS-freeboard
distance between bottom of ship to the waterline - ANS-draft
the direction of airflow in relation to the airfoil, a stream of air parallel and opposite to an
aircraft's flight path - ANS-relative wind
ratio of wing surface to aircraft weight - ANS-wing load
idea that faster moving air exerts less pressure than slower moving air - ANS-bernoulli's
principle
used to move plane around its lateral axis - ANS-elevator
