The vertical speed indicator measures the difference of pressure between...
An aircraft cruises on a heading of 180° with a true airspeed of 110 kt. The wind comes from 180° with 30 kt. Neglecting instrument and position errors, which will be the approximate reading of the airspeed indicator?
Which of the following states the working principle of an airspeed indicator?
What is necessary for the determination of speed (IAS) by the airspeed indicator?
The compass error caused by the aircraft's magnetic field is called...
The indication of a magnetic compass deviates from magnetic north direction due to what errors?
Which of the mentioned cockpit instruments is connected to the pitot tube?
Which cockpit instruments are connected to the static port?
An aircraft in the northern hemisphere intends to turn on the shortest way from a heading of 360° to a heading of 270°. At approximately which indication of the magnetic compass should the turn be terminated?
The term "static pressure" is defined as pressure...
An aircraft in the northern hemisphere intends to turn on the shortest way from a heading of 030° to a heading of 180°. At approximately which indicated magnetic heading should the turn be terminated?
What does the dynamic pressure depend directly on?
The airspeed indicator is unserviceable. The airplane may only be operated...
What difference in altitude is shown by an altimeter, if the reference pressure scale setting is changed from 1000 hPa to 1010 hPa?
The altimeter's reference scale is set to airfield pressure (QFE). What indication is shown during the flight?
A vertical speed indicator measures the difference between...
The term "inclination" is defined as...
During a right turn, the yaw string is drawn to the left from center position. By what rudder input can the string be centered again?
During a left turn, the yaw string is drawn to the left from center position. By what rudder input can the string be centered again?
What kind of defect results in loss of airworthiness of an airplane?
The mass loaded on the plane is lower than the minimum load required by the load sheet. What action has to be taken?
Water ballast increases wing load by 40%. By what percentage does the minimum speed of the glider plane increase?

With decreasing air density the airflow speed increases at stall speed (TAS) and vice versa. How has a final approach to be conducted on a hot summer day?

What is the purpose of winglets?
What engines are commonly used with Touring Motor Gliders (TMG)?
Airspeed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator all show incorrect indications at the same time. What error can be the cause?
Information about maximum allowed airspeeds can be found where?
