Hi, thanks again for all the help!!!!!
Soccormom, no I do not have the FAA handbook, the books I've been using are Gleim's Instrument Pilot, Gleim's Private Pilot, and ASA From the Ground Up. Anything else would be another big help.
The home work question were for the six pack instruments, Airspeed Indicator, Attitude Indicator, Altimeter, Vertical Speed Indicator, Directional Gyro,Turn Coordinator.
I have to answer the same 6 questions for each one of those instruments.
Here are the question:
1- Generally, How does the insrument work and what is it's power source?
2- What are the main markings on the instruments and significance of the markings?
3- What do the different colors represent, if applicable?
4- How can you identify if the instrument becomes inoperative?
5- Can you make adjustments on the instruments, How?
6- What are the common potential errors of the instrument?
I have been able to answer all but the last one on the turn coordinato (little airplane and the ball in the glass tube), but pression sounds like it might be what I'm looking for. I have to turn this in tomorrow.
My next challege is figuring out the density altitude, crosswind performance, takeoff/landing charts. lots of numbers for this here math idiot!!!!
