METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY

ISA International Standard Atmosphere in which
(1) The air is a dry perfect gas;
(2) The temperature at sea level is 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit);
(3) The pressure at sea level is 29.92 inches Hg. (1013.2 millibars);
(4) The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5° C (-
69.7° F) is -0.00198° C (-0.003566° F) per foot and zero above that altitude.
OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature obtained either from in-flight
temperature indications adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects, or ground
meteorological sources.
Indicated The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric sub¬scale has been set to
Pressure 29.92 inches of mercury (1013.2 millibars).
Altitude
Pressure Altitude measured from standard sea-level pressure (29.92 in. Hg) by a pressure or
Altitude baro metric altimeter.
Station It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this
Pressure Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Position errors may be
obtained from the Altimeter Correction Chart. Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation.
Wind The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of this handbook are to be understood
as the headwind or tailwind components of the reported winds.

POWER TERMINOLOGY

Take off Maximum power rating, limited by time.
Maximum Highest power rating not limited by time.
Continuous
Cruise Power recommended for cruise climb.

ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Throttle Used to control power by introducing fuel-air mixture into the intake passages of the
Control engine. Settings are reflected by readings on the manifold pressure gauge.
Mixture This control is used to set fuel to air ratio in all modes of operation
Control and cuts off fuel completely for engine shut down.
EGT Exhaust Gas Temperature Indicator. This indicator is used to identify the lean and best
power fuel/air mixtures for various power settings.
Tachometer Indicates the rpm of the engine/ propeller.
ADI Automatic Direction Indicator (artific ial horizon)
RMI Radio Magnetic Indicator
