Chapter lessons
1The Pitot-Static SystemTrace pitot and static pressure to the ASI, altimeter and VSI, then predict each instrument after a blockage or leak.2The ASI and Its ErrorsExplain ASI operation, preserve the IAS to TAS correction order and predict pitot or static blockage behavior in climb and descent.3The Altimeter and the VSIExplain altimeter and VSI operation, retrieve the Q settings and distinguish normal VSI lag from instantaneous indication and blockage effects.4Gyro PrinciplesDistinguish rigidity from precession and separate real, earth-rate and transport wander with the correct latitude relationship.5The DI and the Artificial HorizonExplain how the DI and artificial horizon use their gyros, why the DI needs realignment and which errors belong to each instrument.6Turn and Slip, and the Turn CoordinatorRead rate of turn and balance, distinguish a turn indicator from a turn coordinator and solve standard-rate turn arithmetic.
