1. Whe1. It is therefore necessary to construct a device in which static pressure is subtracted
from pitot (total) pressure in order to isolate dynamic pressure 2. Static pressure is present on both the inside and the outside of the metal walls of the capsule and so cancels. 3. Therefore the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the capsule is (Dy + S) - S which is Dynamic. 4. Expansion or contraction on the capsule will therefore be proportional to the changes in dynamic pressure produced by changes of airspeed. CALIBRTION 1. Dynamic pressure depends not only on the speed of the aircraft but also on the air density. 2. This density varies with temperature and pressure and therefore with altitude. 3. The ASI is calibrated to read true airspeed for the air density of 1225 grams per cubic metre which would be produced by the ISA MSL pressure of 1013.25 hPa and temperature + 15°C (dry air conditions). 4. No allowance is made in the calibration for the change in density which occurs with change of altitude. 5. No allowance is made in the calibration for the change in density which occurs with change of altitude. 6. As the ASI is only calibrated at MSL, and ISA conditions, flight at any other height will cause errors. AIRSPEEDS AKSHEY SOOD ASI COLOUR CODING ERRORS

SUMMARY OF TURNING ERRORS 1. These are maximum when passing through magnetic North or South, decreasing to zero when passing through East or West. 2. Magnitude of Turning Errors variables with rate of turn, duration of turn, speed of the aircraft, the headings involved, and the design of the compass. 3. At the magnetic equator where there is no vertical component Z in the earth’s field, liquid swirl is the sole source of turning error; with most 1.
