exam questions

Craig · Sep 16, 2015

Just a few questions I thought I would put out there, part of our testing in aus (just to clarify my answers)

1/ What is the z axis
2/ Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
-can you show it
-why is the hole(port) covered with foam

Cheers

Z is North South or forward/backwards axis, port is covered in foam to stop debri getting inside and blocking it

Thanks Steve,

I would have thought the Z axis is the VERTICAL axis that the aircraft yaws around.

Correct, a 3D co-ordinate has xyz components where XY are effectively the grid co-ordinate on a map and Z is the vertical height above a given datum. In the UK, the XY are given in metres and Z is in feet in aviation usage.

Hi Craig.
Is this in relation to the uoc assessment or Manufacturer training for your Controller Certificate.
