Part 1

The document discusses various aircraft instruments and systems. It provides information on: 1) How an airspeed indicator would be marked to show best rate of climb speed with one engine inoperative (a red radial line). 2) The procedure for swinging a magnetic compass to update the compass correction card (adjusting the compensators to correct for magnetic influence deviation). 3) Instruments that are connected to an aircraft's static pressure system only (cabin altimeter and cabin rate-of-change indicator).
