Module 11. Aeroplane aerodynamics, structures and systems

Millibar is used to express what kind of pressure?

  • Pitot pressure.
  • Ambient pressure.
  • Barometric pressure.

Explanation

The millibar (hectopascal) is the unit used for atmospheric/ambient pressure, such as the altimeter subscale setting. Pitot pressure is a dynamic quantity normally handled differently, so ambient pressure is what the millibar scale expresses.

boholbo asking:

Why does not millibar express barometric pressure?
