INDICATOR.
10-29. GENERAL.
The rate
of climb indicator measures
the rate of
change in static pressure
when the airplane
is climbing or
descending. By means
of a pointer and
dial, this instrument
will indicate
the rate of ascent
or descent of
the airplane in feet
per minute. But due
to the
lag of the
instrument, the aircraft
will be climbing
or descending
before the instrument
starts
to read and the
instrument will continue
to read after
the aircraft has assumed
level
flight. In rough air this should not be considered a malfunction.
