Assertion (A): Position error is tabulated on a calibration card for each aircraft type.

Reason (R): Local pressure at a static port depends on the flow field, which varies with attitude and speed.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason explains why the card is needed. Position error is not a constant: it depends on the flow field around the fuselage, which changes with speed, angle of attack and flap configuration. It therefore has to be measured for the type and tabulated as a correction against airspeed and configuration rather than applied as a single number.
