During a constant airspeed descent, the vertical speed indicator (VSI) shows a 500 foot-per-minute descent rate and the groundspeed is 90 knots. Approximately how many nautical miles will the airplane travel while descending from 4,000 feet MSL to 1,000 feet MSL?

The current METAR for the destination airport includes the altimeter setting 'A30.08'. Prior to initiating a constant airspeed descent to traffic pattern altitude, the pilot should

During a constant airspeed descent, which flight instrument provides the primary indication for maintaining airspeed?

A limitation of the vertical speed indicator that a pilot must consider during a constant airspeed descent is

You are in straight-and-level flight at 90 knots indicated airspeed. Power is reduced to initiate a descent while maintaining 90 knots constant airspeed. What pitch attitude change is indicated on the attitude indicator?

Proper instrument cross-check technique during a constant airspeed descent emphasizes

The flight data recorder chart during a steady constant airspeed descent provides the following data: | Time (sec) | IAS (kts) | Pressure Altitude (ft) | VSI (fpm) | |------------|-----------|------------------------|-----------| | 0 | 90 | 4,000 | -500 | | 30 | 90 | 3,750 | -500 | | 60 | 90 | 3,500 | -500 | The POH performance chart specifies a 700 fpm descent rate at 90 KIAS with idle power and full flaps in standard conditions. Which instrument error is indicated by this chart?
