11-217V1 Ch2

Question 1

How do you accomplish an instrument takeoff?

Answer 1

By referring to both outside visual references and the flight instruments. Pilot shall immediately transition to instrument references any time he or she becomes disoriented or when outside visual references become unreliable.

Question 2

As a rule of thumb make changes to pitch to create a VVI equal to what?

Answer 2

Approximately 1-2 times the amount of altitude deviation you are trying to correct.

Question 3

What should you do for level offs?

Answer 3

Use 10% of the VVI for when to start level offs.

Question 4

What is a warning about spatial disorientation?

Answer 4

The pilot will immediately transition to instrument references any time he or she becomes disoriented or when outside visual references become unreliable.

Question 5

What if there is no minimum safe altitude in the flight manual–to what altitude should the pilot recover during an unusual attitude?

Answer 5

If a minimum safe altitude for unusual attitude recovery is not in the flight manual, if applicable, the pilot shall decide upon an altitude at which recovery attempts will be discontinued and the aircraft abandoned.

Question 6

How should you execute a nose low recovery?

Answer 6

Adjust power or drag devices as appropriate, roll wings to level upright attitude, do not add back pressure until less than 90 deg of bank.

Question 7

How can you deal with an unusual attitude?

Answer 7

1) Recognize (picture on ADI or unusual performance from instruments)
2) Confirm (looking at standbys or performance instruments)
3) Recover

Question 8

How should you execute an instrument aileron roll?

Answer 8

15-25 deg NH, start from level flight, roll in either direction so that inverted with wings level as pass through horizon. Accomplish entire maneuver by reference to the ADI.

Question 9

What’s a vertical S A?

Answer 9

Constant heading set of rate climbs and descents

Question 10

What’s a vertical S B?

Answer 10

Constant angle of bank maintained during the climb and descent.

Question 11

What’s a vertical S C?

Answer 11

Same as above except direction of turn is reversed at beginning of each descent.

Question 12

What’s a vertical S D?

Answer 12

Same as above except that the direction of turn is reversed simultaneously with each change of vertical direction.

Question 13

As a guide how should you correct heading deviations?

Answer 13

Bank attitude change should equal the heading deviation in degrees not to exceed 30 deg

Question 14

What is the definition of a standard rate turn?

Answer 14

A rate at which the aircraft will make a 360 degree turn in 2 minutes (120 s)

Question 15

What lead point should you use for your turns?

Answer 15

1/3rd of the angle of bank used

Question 16

A single needle width indicates what kind of turn?

Answer 16

1 1/2 deg/s (half standard rate)

Question 17

A double needle width incates what kind of turn?

Answer 17

3 deg/s (standard rate)

Question 18

What is magnetic dip?

Answer 18

If using the whiskey compass, it’s the tendency for the compass needles to point down as well as to the magnetic pole.

Question 19

What’s the difference between a constant rate and constant speed climb/descent?

Answer 19

Constant rate holds a specific airspeed AND VVI-constant speed only holds a specific airspeed.

Question 20

One degree of pitch change at constant power will result in what airspeed change?

Answer 20

Approximately 10 KIAS

Question 21

For climbs or descents with 2000 fpm or greater how can you help with the level off?

Answer 21

Cut the pitch picture in half a 1000’ prior to level off

Question 22

How do you calculate VVI?

Answer 22

(60 to 1 rule) pitch*airspeed(NM/min) gives VVI (in 100s of feet)
