It means that for some reason ram-air is not being allowed into the pitot tube, or the static air system has become clogged in some other way. Most commonly this is caused by forgetting to remove the pitot cover, failing to turn on the pitot heater when necessary, or by a bird or bug strike on the pitot tube. If it can be visually verified that the pitot cover has been removed, the pilot should engage the pitot heat. If there is a backup gauge serviced by a separate system, then that should be used.

Can you change the four forces in flight in any way?

Of course. That's exactly how you steer an airplane. -- Running the engines faster increases the thrust, which increases the airspeed. -- Increasing the airspeed or the angle of attack increases the lift, which makes the plane climb. -- Increasing the drag causes the airspeed to decrease, which causes the lift to decrease. -- Decreasing the airspeed or the angle of attack decreases the lift, which can be used to lose altitude. -- Using control surfaces to increase the lift of one wing while decreasing the lift of the other wing causes the airplane to bank toward the wing with less lift. -- Increasing the angle of attack during a bank causes the plane to be 'lifted' around a turn. -- Extending flaps increases both lift and drag. If thrust is maintained at the same time, the airplane loses airspeed but maintains altitude. Anything you want the airplane to do is accomplished by manipulating the four forces in flight.

The upward angle of the wing is called the?

What is the difference between a hot air balloon and a gas balloon?

a hot air ballon uses the hot air to rise as the hotter air has lower density while a gas ballon contains a light gas such a s helium and is not released while in flight only added


What is the difference between the cylindricity and total runout in gd and t?

It is a common misconception that roundness and cylindricity can be checked by taking diametral measurements (as with a micrometer) or by using an indicator and vee block. A diametral measurement does just what the words imply; it measures the diameter. It does not check the shape of the surface which is what roundness and cylindricity control. Total runout involves moving the dial indicator along the length of the part while the part is rotated, so that it controls the cumulative variations of circularity, cylindricity, straightness, coaxiality, angularity, taper, and profile.

When car is in park should tachometer read zero?

No, because the tachometer actually reads the rotation of the engine, not of the wheels and therefore reads about 500 RPM while in park.
