Give an indication proportional to altitude.
Q19. What speed is VNO?
That which may only be exceeded with caution and in still air.
Q20. For a constant Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) and a level flight, a fall in ambient temperature will result in a:
Lower True Airspeed (TAS) due to an increase in air density.
Q21. At MSL in the ISA?

It is not specifically marked but will be less than VFE
Q23. What does the blue line on a twin-engine piston aircraft ASI indicate?
VYSE
Q24. Where on an ASI is VNO indicated?
Upper end of green mark and lower end of yellow arc.

It is not specifically marked but will be less than VLE
Q26. The airspeed indicator is calibrated to:
conditions of the International Standard Atmosphere at MSL
Q27. If the static line to the ASI becomes blocked during a long descent, a dangerous situation could arise due to the ASI:
