  • 1. Static variation in pitot tube causes errors and is called?

  • 2. How to calculate true altitude at an airport?

    • True altitude is your actual height above sea level. If you set the altimeter to local pressure corrected to sea level, indicated altitude is approximately true altitude
  • 3. What happens to your indicated airspeed if the pitot tube is blocked at the start of a descent?

    • The airspeed will show decrease.
  • 4. What happens to your indicated airspeed if the static vent is blocked at the start of a climb?

    • Airspeed indicator will show inaccurate reading.
  • 5. What happens to your indicated airspeed if your descent is at a constant true air speed (TAS)?

    • Increase
  • 6. What happens to your TAS if you climb at a constant Indicated airspeed?

    • TAS will increase
  • 7. What happens to your mach number if you climb at a constant calibrated airspeed or indicated airspeed?

    • Mach number will increase
  • 8. What happens to your indicated airspeed and TAS if you fly at a constant IAS into a warmer area?

    • TAS increases and IAS constant.
  • 9. What happens to local speed of sound (LSS) or TAS if one increases or the other decreases?

  • 10. When do you use anti-ice?

    • With visible moisture or less than 1sm visibility.
