Pitot-Systems

Is the Pitot-Static System Dependent On Pressure?

• Yes

• No

What componets are part of the Pitot-Static System?

• Windshield, Wipers, Washer Fluid

• Tires, Rims, Shocks

• Gyroscope, Radar, Radio

What does the Vertical Speed Indicator do?

• Tells the pilot whether the airplane has two or more engines

• Tells the pilot whether the airplane turning left and right

• Tells the pilot whether the airplane is climbing, descending or in level flight

• Tells the pilot whether the airplane is on fire or not

What two pressures do Pitot Tubes measure?

• Static Pressure and Total Impact Pressure

• Hydraulic Pressure and Oil Pressure

• Water Pressure and Gas Pressure

• Tire Pressure and Brake Line Pressure

What will happen to aircraft if the ISA Plus temperatures are excessive?

• The wings will unbolt

• The Aircraft will turn upside down

• It will go boom

• Aircraft might not be able to climb or may be unable to maintain altitude
