What is drag?
100
This instrument reads the difference between the ram air preasure of the pitot tube and the static air preasure of the static port.
What is the Airspeed Indicator?
200
This rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft and is used to time the vavles.
What is the cam shaft
200
A parachute must be packed by a ceterified rigger withing this many days.
What is 120 days?
200
This 'air highway' is 4 miles wide and is used to travel between VORs
What is a Victor Airway?
200
The point at which the aircraft can no longer generate lift due to it passing the critical angle of attack.
What is a stall?
200
This instrument has a pre-set air-bleed rate.
What is the Vertical Speed Indicator?
300
This sucker provides power to the Attitude Indicator and Heading Indicator. Its quality of service is read off of the Suction Guage.

300
This is caused by torque, P-factor, gyroscopic precession, and spirling slipstream.
What is Left Turning Tendency?
300
This instrument has a line marked for a turn rate of exactly 3 degrees per second.
What is the Turn Cordinator?
400
This is an electro-magnet that generates electricty.
What is the Alternator?

This instruments information is read off of a rotation sounter connected to the cam shaft.
What is the Tachometer?
500
These flexible pieces direct air into the more hidden parts of the engine.
What is baffling?
500
In order to carry passengers at night, you must have met these requirments.
