  4. Hysteresis error is caused by?
    imperfect elastic response under extreme conditions of climb and descent
  5. Barometric error hight to low?
    low to high?
    • high to low = over read
    • low to high= under read
  6. With equal pressure in a column of cold air the altimeter will?
    Read high
  7. In a column of equal pressure in warmer then isa temp the altimeter will?
    Under read
  8. When a static vent becomes blocked the altimeter will ?
    Indicated the height at which the blockage occurred.
  9. True altitude calculation formula?
    • calculate PH of aircraft
    • determine oat at aircrafts PH
    • Computer true alt against oat

    dash pot or inertia operated pump?
  21. Electronic IVSI us data from?
    The inertial navigation systems and are error free.
  22. Direct reading magnetic compass DIP?
    Dip is caused by the center of gravity moving away from the center point as the compass is moved from the equator.

  26. With a gyroscope apparent drift is ?
    Real drift is ?
    • Apparent drift is due to earth transport
    • Real drift is caused by bearing friction etc
  27. A latitude nut is a compensation for which drift?
    Apparent drift
  28. Name three components in a RMI
    • Flux valve
    • gyroscope
