- Pilots must understand flight instruments to operate safely.
- The pitot-static system measures airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed.
- Static pressure is always present, while dynamic pressure occurs only in motion.
- The altimeter indicates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
- Nonstandard pressure and temperature can affect altimeter accuracy.
- An alternate static source can be used if the primary source is blocked.
- The ASI shows dynamic pressure changes, while the altimeter uses static pressure.
- Regular checks of the pitot tube are necessary to prevent blockages.
