Q1. The principle of the Mach indicator is based on the computation of the ratio:
(Pt-Ps) to Ps
Q2. If the ambient temperature decreases, the TAS of an aircraft cruising at a constant Mach number will:
decrease because local speed of sound decreases
Q3. During a straight and uniform climb, the pilot maintains a constant calibrated airspeed (CAS):
The Mach number increases and the true airspeed (TAS) increases.
Q4. How many diaphragms are present in a basic Mach meter?
Two.
Q5. Machmeter readings are subject to:
position pressure error
Q6. The velocity of sound at the sea level in a standard atmosphere is:
661 kt.
Q7. An aircraft is flying at an TAS of 310 Kt at FL290, temperature deviation is -6°C. The local speed of sound is:
583 Kt
Q8. Sound propagates through the air at a speed which only depends on:
temperature.
Q9. At a constant Mach number, the calibrated air speed (CAS):
decreases when the altitude increases
Q10. Indication of Mach number is obtained from:
Indicated speed and altitude using a speed indicator equipped with an altimeter type aneroid
Q11. A VMO-MMO warning device consists of an alarm connected to:
a barometric aneroid capsule subjected to a static pressure and an airspeed sensor subjected to a dynamic pressure.
Q12. The reading of a Mach indicator is independent of:
the outside temperature
Q13. What is the Mach number?
It is the ratio of the aircraft’s true airspeed to the local speed of sound of the air in which the aircraft is moving.
Q14. If the outside temperature at 35 000 feet is -40°C, the local speed of sound is:
596 kt.
Q15. At a constant calibrated airspeed (CAS), the Mach number:
increases when the altitude increases
Q16. The mach number is the:
true airspeed (TAS) divided by the local speed of sound
Q17. The Mach number is:
the ratio of the aircraft true airspeed to the sonic velocity at the altitude considered
Q18. The Mach number is a function of the:
Absolute temperature of the air.
