Questions for PRESSURE ALTIMETER
Answer the following questions
Test Mode
Training Mode
1. An aircraft taking off from an airfield with QNH set on the altimeter has both static vents blocked by ice. As the aircraft climbs away the altimeter will:
read the airfield elevation.
indicate the aircraft height amsl.
show only a very small increase in height
read the height of the aircraft above the airfield
2. The errors affecting the pressure altimeter are
instrument, pressure, lag, barometric, temperature, compressibility.
instrument position, manoeuvre induced, density, temperature, lag
instrument, pressure, manoeuvre induced, density, temperature, lag.
instrument, position, manoeuvre induced, temperature, barometric, lag.
3. When flying from low pressure to high pressure, the barometric error of an altimeter will cause the instrument to:
overread the true altitude of the aircraft
read the true altitude, providing a correction is made for temperature.
indicate a higher altitude than the correct one.
underread the true altitude of the aircraft.
4. In the International Standard Atmosphere, the mean sea level pressure is ......., the lapse rate of temperature ....... between MSL and ....... and is isothermal up to ........ The numbers missing are:
1013.25 mb; 1.98°C per 1000 ft; 36 090 ft; 104 987 ft.
1225 mb; 2° per 1000 ft; 37 000 ft; 66 000 ft
1013.25 mb; 1.98°C per 1000 ft; 36 090 ft; 65 617 ft
1225 mb; 1.98°C per 1000 ft; 36 090 ft; 104 987 ft
5. An aircraft has one altimeter set to QFE and one to aerodrome QNH 1000 mb. If the airfield elevation is 300 ft, immediately before take-off the altimeter with QFE set will read ....... and the other ....... If the QFE altimeter is set to 1013 when passing through the transition altitude 3000 ft, it will read ...... (Assume 1 mb = 30 ft)
zero; 300 ft; 3390 ft
zero; 300 ft; 3690 ft
300 ft; zero; 2610 ft
zero; 300 ft; 2610 ft
6. An altimeter with ....... set on the subscale will indicate ......., but with ....... set, the altimeter will show .......
QNH; height above touch down; 1013; height amsl
QFE; height above the airfield datum; 1013; height amsl
1013; pressure altitude; QNH; height above mean sea level.
QNE; pressure altitude; QNH; height above airfield datum
