12. What is the height above charted terrain by a radar altimeter called?

13. How is mean sea level determined?

Answer
1. The rounding number used for runways is 70 feet not the usual 50 feet.
2. Over-square engine operation means that the manifold pressure in inches will exceed rpm in hundreds.
3. A cyclone is a low-pressure area.

4. The full VOR needle deflection is at 10 degrees, that of the Localizer is 2.5 degrees and the glideslope is .7 degrees.

The glideslope is 3.6 times more sensitive than the localizer and 14.3 times as sensitive as the VOR.

5. Aircraft use a sensitive pressure altimeter. The word 'sensitive' applies to the setting of the local altitude using the knob that moves the readings of the Kollsman window. The pressure altimeter part applies to its function as an aneroid barometer that varies via gears to translate outside air pressures into footage measurements on a dial or meter.

6. The altimeter measures the absolute pressure as caused by the weight of the air above the aircraft at a given moment.

7. You measure pressure altitude by setting 29.92 into the Kollsman window. In conjunction with temperature the pressure altitude is used to determine density altitude. The 29.92 altimeter setting is used by all aircraft above 18,000 feet.

8. The local altimeter setting is the elevation of the airport above mean sea level.

9. Radar facilities are required to make at least one altitude check per contact with aircraft to confirm that the aircraft has been given and has set the local altimeter setting. The blind altimeter associated with the transponder altitude encoder is always set to 29.92 and the appropriate local corrections are made by the ground computer. Allowable error is 300 feet.

10. Elevations of all obstacles are measured from mean sea level (MSL). Additionally, man-made obstacles may have and above ground level measurement. (AGL)

11. Any time you set in 29.92 into the Kollsman window the altimeter is reading close to true altitude. This is the height above sea level.

12. Radar altimeters measure absolute altitude.

13. Mean sea level is an imaginary level halfway between the average range of the tidal highs and lows of the ocean. It is a type of average tide level.

Answer
1. The accelerated is no longer required by any PTS; The imminent is part of the private pilot PTS; The power on and power off are part of the instructor PTS.
2. Application may be submitted immediately.

Answer
1. The door is on the right side because of the wider doorpost required. On the right side it obstructs the pilot's visibility less than it would on the left side. C-210P is an exception.
2. The surface of a displaced threshold may be used for takeoff but not for landing. It may be used for landing role at the far end of a runway. It may be used to takeoff at either end.
3. Gravity.
