AVO 7.5exam

The document discusses pitot-static instruments, which measure airspeed, altitude, and rate of climb. It covers topics like the layers of the atmosphere, definitions of different types of altitude, components and functioning of the pitot-static system, types of instruments that use pitot-static pressures like altimeters and airspeed indicators, and maintenance considerations like leak checks and drain traps. It contains 20 multiple choice questions to test understanding of concepts related to pitot-static instruments.
