Condensed Instructions:
Set aircraft altitude and airspeed
by moving the blinking cross or by entering the altitude and/or
airspeed in the designated boxes. You can also change the
altitude or the airspeed separately by moving the digital LCD
displays in the blue graph area. Simulate different blockages by
selecting any combination of Block Pitot Tube Drain,
Block Pitot Tube Ram Air or Block Static Air.
Alternate static air may be selected by clicking the
Activate Alternate Static Air box.
The rate that the conditions change can be selected using the
change speed drop down menu. The speed of
the simulation is always one second for every four seconds that
would elapse in actual time.
If the Snapped Aircraft Parameters check box
is selected, then altitude will be rounded to the nearest 500
feet and airspeed will be rounded to the next 5 knots. If
this is not selected then altitude will be rounded to the
nearest 100 feet and airspeed will be rounded to the nearest 1
knot. This happens regardless if the altitude and airspeed
were entered manually or by dragging them using the cross in the
blue graph.
General Explanation of Features:
Simulated System - This is the pitot static
system that applies blockages and the manually set altimeter
setting.
Reference System - This is the pitot static system that can
be used as a reference to compare results from the Simulated
System. The reference system always has the correct
altimeter setting and is not affected by blockages selected by
the user.
Outside Conditions
True Altitude - The actual altitude that the
aircraft, and therefore the pitot static system is placed.
True Airspeed - The actual airspeed that the
aircraft, and therefore the pitot static system is moving in the
air.
Temp - The variation in temperature above or
below the temperature in standard atmosphere.
Station Altim Setting - The altimeter
setting for a particular airport or station. This is the
same altimeter setting that would be obtained on the ATIS
(Airport Terminal Information Service).
Station Altitude - The altitude of
the airport or station where the altimeter setting was obtained.
Pitot Static Conditions
Block Pitot Tube Drain - Simulates
the blockage of the pitot tube drain.
Block Pitot Tube Ram Air -
Simulates the blockage of the pitot tube ram air.
Block Static Air - Simulates the
blockage of the static air port.
Activate Alternate Static Air -
Simulates the activation of the alternate static air port.
Typically as the aircraft increases in speed the static pressure
using the alternate static ports is typically slightly less than
that of the actual static port outside the aircraft for
non-pressurized aircraft.
Aircraft Altimeter
Auto Set Altimeter/Manually Set Altimeter
- Determines whether the Kollsman Window setting is
automatically adjusted if a different station altimeter setting
is entered.
Kollsman Window Setting - This
setting is made by the pilot on the aircraft's altimeter.
Units
This section allows the user to change pressure units from inHg
(inches of mercury) to HPa (Hecto Pascal) or temperature from
Celsius to Fahrenheit.
