Aerodynamics & Aircraft Flashcards
When using VOT to make a VOR receiver check, the CDI should be centered and the OBS should indicate that the aircraft is on the
360 Radial
How should the poilot make a VOR receiver check when the aircraft is located on the designated checkpoint on the airport surface?
Set the OBS on the designated radial. The CDI must center within plus or minus 4 of that radial with a FROM indication.
When using a VOR test facility(VOT) to test a dual VOR system, which indication is acceptable?
176 TO and 003 FROM, respectively.
If ram air and drain hole of pitot system are blocked, what airspeed indication can be expected if large power changes are made?
Remain constant in level flight even during power changes.
When in a climb, the ram air input and drain hole of pitot system are blocked. What reaction should you observe?
No change until an actual climb rate is established, then indicated airspeed will increase.
What indication should a pilot observe if an airspeed indicator ram air input and drain hole are blocked?
The airspeed indicator will react as an altimeter.
In a left turn, correct control coordination is indicated by
the ball of the turn coordinator in the center.
During normal flight with a vacuum driven attitude indicator, control pressures normally should not move the horizon bar more than
one half bar width with not more than an additional one half bar width for normal flight deviations.
If ADC is malfunctioning, which information becomes unreliable?
PFD airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed become unreliable.
The instruments for pitch are the
Attitude indicator, airspeed indicator, and VSI.
In level flight, it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure vented inside the airplane, which of the following should the pilot expect?
The vertical speed to momentarily show a climb.
If the Air Data Computer is malfunctioning, which information becomes unreliable?
PFD airspeed,altitude, and vertical speed become unreliable.
What effect will a change in wind direction have upon maintaining a 3 degree glide slope at a constant true airspeed?
When ground speed increases, rate of descent must increase.
An abrupt transition from a climb to straight and level flight can create the illusion of ?
Tumbling backward
