METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY
ISA International Standard Atmosphere in which
(1) The air is a dry perfect gas;
(2) The temperature at sea level is 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit);
(3) The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Hg. (1013.2 millibars);
(4) The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5° C (-
69.7° F) is -0.00198° C (-0.003566° F) per foot and zero above that altitude.
OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature obtained either from in-flight
temperature indications adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects, or ground
meteorological sources.
Indicated
Pressure
Altitude
The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric sub¬scale has been set to
29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2 millibars).
Pressure
Altitude
Altitude measured from standard sea-level pressure (29.92 in. Hg) by a pressure or
barometric altimeter.
Station
Pressure
It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this
Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Position errors may be
obtained from the Altimeter Correction Chart. Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation.
Wind
The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of this handbook are to be understood
as the headwind or tailwind components of the reported winds.
POWER TERMINOLOGY
Take off
Maximum power rating, limited by time.
Maximum
Continuous
Highest power rating not limited by time.
Cruise
Climb
Power recommended for cruise climb.
ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Throttle
Control
Used to control power by introducing fuel-air mixture into the intake passages of the
engine. Settings are reflected by readings on the manifold pressure gauge.
Mixture
Control
This control is used to set fuel to air ratio in all modes of operation
and cuts off fuel completely for engine shut down.
EGT Exhaust Gas Temperature Indicator. This indicator is used to identify the lean and best
power fuel/air mixtures for various power settings.
Tachometer
Indicates the rpm of the engine/ propeller.
ADI Automatic Direction Indicator (artificial horizon)
RMI Radio Magnetic Indicator
