with only the vertical speed
indicator in the system.
4. If any instrument is repaired or
replaced, repeat the leakage test
to ensure the problem is solved.
5. If none of the instruments is at
fault, remove the static line from
them and cap the static lines and
instrument inlet ports. attach a
source of positive pressure to a
static port opening and close off

ALTIMETER
The altimeter is equipped with three
concentrically arranged pointers with a
range of 0 to 20,000 feet.
revolution of the long hand indicates a
thousand foot altitude change in 20-foot
increments.
One revolution of the
shortest hand indicates an altitude
change of ten thousand feet, while the
triangular "bug" indicates 100,000 feet
with one revolution, but is limited to
20,000 feet.
Moveable barometric
scales, visible through small windows on
either side of the main dial, indicate the
barometric pressure in inches of Hg and
millibars. An adjusting knob provides a
means of adjusting the barometric scale
to known sea level barometric pressure
at the airplane's location.

MAGNETIC COMPASS
The magnetic compass is a semi-
floating cylinder encased in a liquid filled

The compass is mounted on the center
instrument panel and it is equipped with
compensating
magnets
adjustable from the front of the case.
Covers on the face of the compass
allow
access
for
compensating magnets. The compass
should be swung and compensated at
regular intervals and at any time
equipment installations are made that
could cause compass errors.
