  3. TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE At the completion of this lesson, the student will: ACTION: Demonstrate an understanding of the atmosphere’s physical properties and their impact on the operation of the TH-67 pressure instruments. CONDITION: In a classroom environment given information on the pressure instruments and the atmosphere. STANDARD: Answer questions pertaining to the atmosphere’s physical properties and their impact on the operation of the TH-67 pressure instruments. Receive a “GO” by correctly answering the required number of questions on criterion referenced examination 011-0050. Property of Lear Siegler

  4. A: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the characteristics of the standard atmosphere Condition: Given information about the standard atmosphere Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 and FAA-H-8083-25A, Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Property of Lear Siegler

  5. The “Standard Atmosphere” “A hypothetical vertical distribution of atmospheric temperature, pressure, and density which by international or national agreement is taken to be representative of the atmosphere for the purpose of altimeter calibrations, aircraft design, performance calculations, etc.” Property of Lear Siegler

  11. Questions? MMMMMMMMOVING Property of Lear Siegler

  12. B: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the pressures used in the pitot static system Condition: Given information about the pitot static system pressures Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 MMMMMMMMOVING Property of Lear Siegler

  13. Weight of a column of air Static Pressure -- Impact Pressure -- Static + Dynamic Dynamic Pressure – Additional pressure caused by aircraft in motion Property of Lear Siegler

  14. Static pressure only Static + Dynamic Impact pressure = Note: Impact = Ram = Total = Pitot Pressure Property of Lear Siegler

  15. Construction of the Pitot System HEATER LEFT RIGHT STATIC VENTS PITOT TUBE Property of Lear Siegler

  16. Construction of the Pitot System Notice that the Pitot Tube goes only to airspeed indicator! The Static Pressure is vented to all three instruments.

  17. Construction of the Pitot System The diaphragm in the Airspeed Indicator is connected to the Pitot Tube. It only senses Pitot Pressure. The case is vented to Static Pressure.

  18. Construction of the Pitot System The diaphragm in the Vertical Speed Indicator is vented to Static Pressure. The case is vented to Static Pressure through a calibrated leak.

  19. Construction of the Pitot System The aneroids in the Altimeter are sealed. The case is vented to Static Pressure.

  20. Any Questions? MMMMMMMMOVING Property of Lear Siegler

  21. C: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the operational characteristics of the airspeed indicator Condition: Given information about the airspeed indicator Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 Property of Lear Siegler

  22. AIRSPEED INDICATOR Property of Lear Siegler

  23. LEFT RIGHT STATIC VENTS PITOT TUBE Property of Lear Siegler

  24. STATIC VENT PITOT TUBE Property of Lear Siegler

  25. IMPACT PRESSURE PRESSURE STATIC Property of Lear Siegler

  26. Impact pressure = Static + Dynamic IMPACT PRESSURE PRESSURE STATIC Property of Lear Siegler

  28. D: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the uses of the airspeed indicator Condition: Given information on the uses of the airspeed indicator Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 Property of Lear Siegler

  29. Uses for the airspeed indicator 1: Keep aircraft within “Never Exceed Speed" 2: Determine best operational speed for best climb, best endurance, and best range 3: Determine rate of movement for navigation 4: Aircraft attitude Airspeed fast-Pitch attitude low Airspeed low-Pitch attitude high Property of Lear Siegler

  30. Questions? MMMMMMMMOVING Property of Lear Siegler

  31. E: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the errors associated with the airspeed indicator Condition: Given information about airspeed indicator errors Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 Property of Lear Siegler

  32. ERRORS Instrument Error – Minor, caused by friction Installation Error – Caused by misalignment of the pitot tube and/or the static vents with the relative wind Density Error – Caused by changes in air density Property of Lear Siegler

  33. Questions? MMMMMMMMOVING Property of Lear Siegler

  34. F: Enabling Learning Objective Action: Identify the types of airspeed Condition: Given information about types of airspeed Standard: IAW FM 3-04.240 Property of Lear Siegler

  35. Types of Airspeed IAS – Indicated Airspeed –read from the airspeed indicator CAS – Calibrated Airspeed –Indicated Airspeed corrected for installation error TAS – True Airspeed -Calibrated Airspeed corrected for density error Property of Lear Siegler

  36. Estimating True Airspeed True Air Speed (TAS) increases over Indicated Air Speed (IAS) at the rate of two percent per thousand feet “Aircraft climbing at a constant IAS will be increasing its velocity or TAS because of decreasing air density.” FM 3-04.203 REMEMBER… True airspeed will always be more than IAS with altitude! Property of Lear Siegler

  37. TRUE AIRSPEED (TAS) IS THE SAME, AIR IS LESS DENSE AT ALTITUDE, THEREFORE, CALIBRATED AIRSPEED (CAS) IS LESS THAN TAS. Property of Lear Siegler

  38. CAS IS THE SAME, AIR IS LESS DENSE AT ALTITUDE, THEREFORE, TAS IS MORE THAN CAS AT ANY ALTITUDE ABOVE ZERO FEET DENSITY ALTITUDE. Property of Lear Siegler
