Pitot Static Instruments - Altimeter (Private Pilot Lesson 6b)

[@cliffjones8809]

the window she mentions is called "kollsman" window, where you put in the altimeter setting. Also, the first example of the needles is wrong! Unless I'm really missing something. The long skinny needle is tens of thousands, short fat needle is thousands, longer fat needle is hundreds. So the reading is approximately 500'.

Thanks Cindy, I always struggled remembering the difference between pressure altitude and density altitude

Cyndy do you have a video on how a constant speed propeller works?

this altimeter often appears in Cessna planes. May you explain what are the 3 needles means again? And their attitudes? And Cindy, are you a pilot?
