100
This is the sea-level temperature of a standard atmosphere.
What is 59F or 15C?
100
This color marks the normal operating range on the airspeed indicator.
What is Green?
100
The altimeter shown is displaying this altitude.
What is 680 feet?
100
Flying from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure without changing your altimeter will result in your altimeter showing this altitude error.
What is higher than actual altitude?
100
If you are flying east or west and you accelerate the airplane the magnetic compass will show a turn in this direction
What is North?
200
This/these instrument(s) will fail if the static port becomes blocked.
What are Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and VSI?
200
This color marks the flap range on the airspeed indicator.
What is White?
200
This is the altitude above mean sea level.
What is True Altitude?
200
Flying from an area of lower to higher pressure without changing your altimeter will result in your altimeter showing this error.
What is lower than actual altitude?
200
If you are flying north and turn right the magnetic compass will show a turn in this direction.
What is West?
300
As temperature increases air pressure does this.
What is Increase?
300
The lower limit of this color range is the stall speed in landing configuration.
What is White?
300
This is the type of altitude you will read with 29.92 set in the altimeter.
What is Pressure Altitude?
300
In colder than standard air your altimeter will indicate this compared to your true altitude.
What is higher?
300
If you are flying north and turn left the magnetic compass will show a turn in this direction.
What is East?
400
The relationship between the miniature airplane and the horizon bar on the attitude indicator depicts this.
What is Direction of Turn?
400
This color marks the never exceed speed.
What is Red?
400
Pressure altitude, density, and true altitude will only all be equal on standard day at this height.
What is Sea Level?
400
In warmer than standard air your altimeter will indicate this compared to your true altitude.
What is lower?
400
Turning to or from a northerly heading causes the magnetic compass to do this.
What is Lag?
500
When adjusting true heading for magnetic variation you do this with westerly variation.
What is Add?
500
Maneuvering speed is not shown on the airspeed indicator because it varies with this.
What is aircraft weight?
500
The altimeter shown is displaying this altitude.
What is 10,180 feet?
500
If you change your altimeter setting from 29.50 to 30.00 it will read an altitude change of this.
What is + 500 feet?
500
Turning to or from a southerly heading causes the magnetic compass to do this.
What is Lead?
