18. On a weather chart, close spacing of pressure gradients usually represents areas

with high ______ (3-9/10)

19. A Constant Pressure Chart presents information on pressures at ______ altitudes

(3-10/11)

20. On a Constant Pressure Chart the number in the small black box represents

altitude in ________ (3-11)

21. To determine the height of a pressure altitude, Pilots should set __________ in the

Aircraft Altimeter Kollsman window (3-11)

22. The Altimeter in the an Aircraft is usually an __________ Barometer (3-12)

23. In aviation, the three most important altitudes are:

a. ___________ Altitude - the altitude you read on the Altimeter

b. ___________ Altitude - the altitude your aircraft is above Mean Sea Level

c. ___________ Altitude - the altitude your aircraft is above the ground

d. Altitude (c.) is also called AGL which means ______________________

24. To correct your altitude when you fly, you make a change in the __________

setting (3-12)

25. From Surface up to about 12,000 feet, a setting change of 0.01 inch represents

_________feet of altitude (3-12)

26. If you change the setting by increasing the number in the Adjustment Window, you

will ____________ the number you read on the Altimeter. (3-12)

27. If you set the Field Elevation into your altimeter, what kind of altitude (from 40

above) are you reading? (3-12/13)

28. At what higher altitude (above 10,000 feet in the US) do set 29.92 inches in your

altimeter to make sure every airplane uses the exact same altitude reference?

______ (3-12/13)
