|
|
How does an altimeter work?
|
aneroid wafers exapnd and contract as atmospheric pressure changes, and through a shaft and gear linkage, rotate pointers on the dial of the instrument.
|
|
|
|
Identify and define the different types of altitudes.
|
Indicated - read off the instrument.
Pressure - indicated when 29.92 set in the altimeter. True - MSL Absolute - AGL Density - pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temp. |
|
|
|
How does the airspeed indicator work?
|
measures the difference between ram pressure from the Pitot head and the atmospheric pressure from the static source.
|
|
|
|
How does the VSI work?
|
changing pressures expand and contract a diaphram connected to the indicating needle through gears and levers. The VSI is connected to the static pressure line through a calibrated leak; it measures differential pressure.
|
|
|
|
How does the vacuum system work?
|
by drawing a stream of air against the rotor vanes to spin the rotor at high speeds.
|
|
|
|
What are two important characteristics of gyroscopes?
|
Rigidity - will not rotate as earth rotates.
Precession - applied forces are not felt at the point of application, but 90 degrees in the direction of the spin. |
|
|
|
Name four types of structural icing.
|
Clear - large water droplets strike the a/c and freeze slowly.
Rime - small water droplets strike the a/c and freeze rapidly. Mixed Frost - ice forms by sublimation when OAT and dew point are below freezing. |
