Identify and explain the five different types of altitude.
What are the two systems that measure outside air pressure for airplane instrumentation? What are those two types of air
pressure?
What does the upper limit of the white arc on the airspeed indicator indicate? What does the white arc, in general, tell us?
What is an AD and what are the two types of AD’s?
List three important performance deficiencies of an overloaded aircraft and tell me why the overweight airplane performs
poorly for each of the three deficiencies.
Explain why an airplane performs better, in terms of weight and balance, as the flight progresses.
When you add or remove equipment to or from your airplane, why do you have to recalculate the weight and balance? What if
it’s just a small radio that changes the weight of the airplane by 4 lbs?
