Subject syllabus
1. Historical development of aircraft instruments.
2. Instrumentation requirements. Color marking of aircraft instruments.
3. Differences in units of measured quantities used in aviation, recalculations of units.
4. Pitot-static devices: altimeter, speedometer, variometer, Machmeter, pressure sensors.
5. Gyroscopic instruments: artificial horizon, gyrocompass, tachometer, tachometer with slip indication.
6. Magnetic compasses: with direct reading, with remote transmission.
7. Indication of the angle of attack, drag signaling systems.
8. Temperature measurement, outdoor temperature OAT, static temperature SAT, total temperature TAT, exhaust gas temperature EGT, oil and fuel temperatures.
9. Fuel meters and fuel flow meters. Position indicators - position indicators, limit switches.
