Aerodynamics and Aircraft Flashcards
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from an east heading in the Norther Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
During normal operation of a vacuum driven attitude indicator, what attitude indication should you see when rolling out from a 180 degree skidding turn to straight and level coordinated flight?
The miniature aircraft shows a turn in the direction opposite the skid.
During normal coordinated turns, what error due to precession should you observe when rolling out to the straight and level flight from a 180
Slight turn in the opposite direction
Which system has malfunctioned if your heading indicator is not moving?
Vacuum system or electrical power.
Under wich conditions is hydroplaning most likely to occur?
During conditions of standing water, slush, high speed, and smooth runway texture.
While climbing out of icy conditions, the ram air input and drain hole of the pitot system are blocked. What reaction should you observe?
No change until an actual climb rate is established, then indicated airspeed will increase.
If both the ram air input and drain hole of the 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 landing behind a large jet aircraft, at which point on the runway should you plan to land.
Beyond the jet’s touchdown point.
What effect would a light crosswind of approximately 7 knots have on vortex behavior?
The upwind vortex would tend to remain over the runway.
Wake turbulence is near maximum behind a jet transport just after takeoff because
of the high angle of attack and high gross weight.
What wind condition prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?
light quartering tailwind.
When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omni-bearing selector and the OBS indicator should read…
within 6 degrees of the selected radial.
What is the maximum tolerance allowed for an operational VOR equipment check when using a VOT?
plus or minus 4 degrees.
If while in level flight, it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure , which of the following should the pilot expect.
The vertical speed to show a momentary climb.
When checking the sensitivity of a VOR receiver, the number of degrees in course change as the OBS is rotated to move the CDI from center to the last dot on either side should be between…
10 degrees and 12 degrees
