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
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.
1.7 2
L4 CO4
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.
