Alternator

What is the main source of power?

The engine

where does the alternator get its power from?

Battery

what is used to start the engine?

Because the alternator charges the battery.

why is the alternator higher volts than the battery?

the battery

what runs the plane if the alternator goes out?

30 minutes

how long does the battery last after the alternator turns off?

30 minutes

how long does the emergency battery last?

load meter

what shows battery rate of charge or discharge

Structural icing and induction icing

what are the two types of icing?

Anti ice

designed to prevent any type of ice to form

deice

designed to remove ice once it has formed

places that stick out in the airflow

where does ice typically form first

No flaps and increase airspeed.

what should you change when your landing with ice.

ice protection systems

pneumatic boots, hot props, weeping wings, and heated surfaces

altimeter, airpeed indicator, vertical speed indicator.

what are the 3 pitot static instruments?

dynamic and static

what are the two types of pressure

dynamic pressure

changing and moving air

static pressure

pressure stays the same

decrease

does static pressure increase or decrease when you increase in altitude?

Airspeed indicator

what does dynamic air control in the pitot static air system

Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator

what does static pressure control in the pitot static system.

Vs

stall speed

Vso

stall speed landing configuration (flaps)

true airspeed

Actual airspeed while moving through the undisturbed air.

Calibrated Airspeed

Indicated airspeed corrected for installation and instrument error

Ground speed

Actual speed of the aircraft over the ground

increases

Does your true airspeed increase or decrease as altitude increases?

what is the ground speed?

True airspeed adjusted for the wind

Position error, instrument error, Density error, compressibility, and blockage

what are the 5 types of airspeed errors

Position air

when the position of the pitot is changed likely by slipstream.

Instrument error

errors due to imperfections in the instrument itself.

using static pressure

how does the altimeter tell you what altitude you’re at?

indicated alititude

what the indicator reads

pressure altitude

height above standard datum

Density altitude

pressure corrected for nonstandard tempuratures

True altitude

true height above sea level

absolute altitude

height above the surface

ten thousands

what is the thin long needle on the altimeter stand for?

thousands

what is the short thick needle stand for on the altimeter?

hundreds

what does the long thick needle stand for on the altimeter?

reads high

what does going from hot weather to cold weather do to your altimeter?

reads low

what does going from cold weather to hot weather do to your altimeter?

calibrated leak

small tube in the VSI is called what

heading indicator, attitude indicator, and turn coordinator.

what are the gyroscopic flight instruments

the engine

what powers the vacuum pump?

attitude indicator and heading indicator

which gyroscopic gauges are run by the vacuum system?

rigidity in space

remains fixed when the plane is spinning

precession

force is felt 90 degrees in rotation of spinning
