Q

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?

A

The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.

Q

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?

A

The miniature aircraft shows a turn in the direction opposite the skid.

Q

While climbing out of icy conditions, the ram air input and drain hole of the pitot system are blocked. What reaction should you observe?

A

No change until an actual climb rate is established, then indicated airspeed will increase.

Q

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?

A

Remain constant in level flight even during power changes.

16
Q

The primary reason the pitch attitude must be increased, to maintain a constant altitude during a coordinated turn is because the…

A

Vertical component of lift has decreased as a result of the bank.

17
Q

How should you preflight check the accuracy of your altimeter prior to an IFR flight?

A

Set the current altimeter setting and indication should be within 75 ft of airport elevation.

18
Q

One characteristic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the…

A

resistance to deflection of the spinning wheel or disc.

19
Q

IF a 180 degree steep turn is made to the right and the aircraft is rolled out to straight and level flight by visual references, the attitude indicator…

A

may show a slight climb and turn.

20
Q

Errors in both pitch and bank indication on an attitude indicator are usually at a maximum as the aircraft rolls out of a…

A

180 degree

21
Q

During normal coordinated turns, what error due to precession should you observe when rolling out to straight and level flight from a 180 degree steep turn to the right?

A

The miniature aircraft would show a slight turn indication to the left.

22
Q

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?
