R.V.COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
(Autonomous Institution affiliated to VTU)
VI semester CIE – I
AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTATION (Elective) 12IT6C4
Duration: 09:30-11:30AM Date: 07/02/2018 Max Marks: 65
Instructions to students:
1. Answer all the questions from Part A and Part B.
2. Part A Questions should be answered in the first 2 pages of the answer booklet only.

Sl.No PART A M BT CO
1.1 Name the Instruments which are the members of PITOT – STATIC family 2
Airspeed indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, L1 CO1

1.2 Define the term: “Calibrated Airspeed, True Airspeed”. 2


Calibrated airspeed (CAS) is indicated airspeed corrected for instrument and
position error. When flying at sea level under International Standard Atmosphere
conditions (15 °C, 1013 hPa, 0% humidity) calibrated airspeed is the same as
equivalent airspeed (EAS) and true airspeed (TAS). L3 CO3

The true airspeed (TAS; also KTAS, for knots true airspeed) of an aircraft is the
speed of the aircraft relative to the airmass in which it is flying.

1.3 The operational range markings functions are: 2 L1 CO1


RED Radial line: ____Yellow arc: _____ Green arc: ________Red arc:______
1.4 The increase of air temperature at higher speeds as a result of compression and the 1
L3 CO2
effect of friction is known as ‘________ram rise________’.
1.5 Calibrated airspeed corrects indicated airspeed for __position and installation__ errors. 1 L3 CO3
1.6 The pitot tube ices over, sealing the inlet and the drain, but your static ports remain 2
clear. In a constant airspeed climb, your airspeed indicator will: ______________.
Justify your answer.
Your airspeed will increase.
The airspeed indicator measures ram pressure (from the pitot tube) against static
pressure (from the static ports). The greater the pressure difference, the faster the L4 CO4
airspeed. If your pitot tube completely ices over, the ram pressure becomes trapped
and won't change. However, as you climb, your static pressure decreases. That
increases the pressure differential in the airspeed indicator, causing the airspeed to
slowly increase.

L4 CO4

Identify the instrument:


Altimeter
1.8 ‘Proper grouping’ is for ________maintaining coordination to create a picture__of an 2
aircraft’s flight condition___________and ______________assisting the pilot to
L2 CO1
observe the instrument with minimal effort.____________________

1.9 The Standard temperature and Pressure values while flying are _____15 1
L2 CO2
deg.______and _____101.3kPa / 14.7lb/in2__
PART B
2. Compare Qualitative and Quantitative Displays with examples. 10 L3 CO2
3. With neat diagram, explain the principle of head up display system? Mention the
10 L4 CO4
different signals measured using the HUD in the latest Boeing 737 aircraft.
4.a Summarize the errors in PITOT/STATIC SYSTEM. How are they suppressed? 4 L3 CO2
4.b Enumerate the use of ‘Drains’ and ‘Pipelines’ in Pitot systems. 6 L2 CO1
5 With the aid of a diagram, explain the operating principle of Vertical Speed Indicator. 10 L2 CO1
6 Define’ Mach Number’. How is the airplane alerted for Mach warning? Mention the
10 L3 CO3
critical criteria’s monitored and the procedures, with relevant diagram.
Course Outcomes
1. Understand the concept of different types of instrument, displays and indicators.
2. Appraise the elements of Aircraft Instrumentation and Integration of the system to meet the control Navigation
and operational requirements of the Aircrafts.
3. Analyze and evaluate the performance of Aircraft control system and interpret the results.
4. Interpreted Case Studies with the theory learnt and hence develop a system concept operational in latest aircraft
instrumentation.
