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
