level
a- Indicated altitude
b- Absolute altitude
c- True altitude
4. What could be the solution if the Standby Altimeter does not operate correctly
a- Check for 'water plugs' in alternate static ports, Inspect pitot probe for damage or debris
b- Check for 'water plugs' in alternate static ports
c- Inspect pitot probe for damage or debris
5- Vertical Speed indicator is designed to indicate the rate of altitude change from the change of
a- Static pressure and pitot pressure
b- Static pressure alone
c- Pitot pressure alone
6. Airspeed indicators are in effect very sensitive pressure gauges measuring the difference between
a- The pitot and static pressures
b- Pitot pressures
c- Static pressures
7. which of the following is not correct about the pipe line of pitot static system
a- The chosen diameter of pipelines is related to the amount of pressure that goes to the instruments
b- It is seamless and corrosion-resistant metal
c- The chosen diameter of pipelines is related to the distance from the pressure sources to the
instruments
8. Which of the following on-board equipment is subject to Pitot Static testing
a- Altimeter for altitude, Airspeed indicator for speed
b- Altimeter for altitude, Airspeed indicator for speed, Rate of climb indicator for vertical speed
c- Altimeter for altitude
