Law of Primacy
I guess we are all pretty much in agrement that the law of primacy
makes it just about impossible for anyone who learned glider flying with 0 altimeter to ever be able to fly with MSL altimeter, because under pressure, he will revert back, and death, distruction, disaster, etc will ensue. With the Law of Primacy in mind take stab at this little test........See if you come to the same conclusion that I did.........We are all in terrible peril! Glider Flying Law of Primacy Test 1. In glider flying, speed is given in units of: a) Miles per hour b) Knots c) Meters per second d) Kilometers per hour 2. In glider flying rate of climb is given as: a) Feet per minute b) Meters per second c) Knots 3. In glider flying distances are measured as: a) Miles b) Nautical miles c) Kilometers d) Meters 4. In glider flying altitude is measured in: a) Feet b) Meters 5. In glider flying time is given in terms of: a) Local time b) Local daylight time c) UTC time d) Zulu time e) GMT time 6. In glider flying weights are measured in: a) Kilos b) Pounds c) Ounces 7. In glider flying, Long. Lat. is specified in a) Degrees, minutes, seconds b) Degrees minutes, thousandths of minutes c) Degrees, thousandths of degrees 8. In glider flying winds are given as relative to: a) True north b) Magnetic north 9. In glider flying “course” and “heading” are given as: a) Magnetic b) True 10. In glider flying water ballast is measured in: a) Pounds b) Gallons c) Liters d) Kilos 11) In glider flying altitude is referenced in: a) AGL b) MSL c) 29.92 d) Absolute altitude e) GPS altitude f) Radar altitude g) True altitude h) Calibrated altitude i) Sensitive altitude j) Non sensitive altitude |
