Airspeed Indicator
This is the velocity of an airplane relative to the air it is flying through.
What is Airspeed?
This airspeed is read directly from the airspeed indicator.
What is Indicated Airspeed?
This tube measures ram pressure.
What is Pitot Tube?
This instrument shows aircraft pitch and bank.
What is the Attitude Indicator?
Earth acts like a giant ______ because of metals in its core.
What is Magnet?
Static pressure comes from this type of air.
What is Still air?
IAS corrected for instrument and position errors.
What is Calibrated Airspeed(CAS)?
If ram air is blocked, the airspeed indicator will read this.
What is Zero Airspeed?
This instrument shows the aircraft’s direction.
What is the Heading Indicator?
The difference between true north and magnetic north.
What is Variation?
Dynamic pressure is created as a result of this.
What is movement of air?
CAS corrected for temperature and pressure.
What is True Airspeed?
If the static port becomes blocked, this instrument freezes at the last indication.
What is the Altimeter?
This instrument shows the rate of turn.
What is the Turn Coordinator?
Magnetic errors caused by electrical equipment in the aircraft.
What is Deviation?
Total (ram) pressure equals static pressure plus this type of pressure.
What is Dynamic Pressure?
This airspeed is TAS corrected for wind.
What is Groundspeed?
Pilots maintain aircraft control during pitot-static failure using these two things.
What are Pitch and Power?
The gyro principle that keeps a gyro in a fixed position.
What is Rigidity in Space?
This acronym helps pilots remember acceleration errors.
What is ANDS?
The airspeed indicator measures the difference between these two pressures.
What are Ram and Static Pressure?
To estimate TAS, pilots add this percent per 1,000 feet of altitude.
What is 2%?
With trapped pitot pressure during a climb, indicated airspeed will do this.
What is Increase?
The gyro principle where deflection occurs 90° after force is applied.
What is Precession?
This acronym helps pilots remember magnetic compass turning errors.
What is UNOS?
