Airplane Systems

Front

What is absolute altitude?

Back

The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface

Front

What is true altitude?

Back

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level

Front

What is density altitude?

Back

The pressure altitude corrected for non-standard temperature

Front

What is pressure altitude?

Back

The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92

Front

Altimeter setting is value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates

Back

True altitude at field elevation

Front

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

Back

When at sea level under standard conditions

Front

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

Back

At standard temperature

Front

Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

Back

When standard atmospheric conditions exist

Front

If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Back

Lower than the actual altitude above sea level

Front

If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Back

Higher than the actual altitude above sea level
