Airplane instruments, Engines, and Systems

Question 1

In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

Answer 1

an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading

Question 2

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

Answer 2

magnetic within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

Question 3

During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate

Answer 3

only in straight and level unaccelerated flight

Question 4

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

Answer 4

Certain metals and electrical Systems within the aircraft

Question 5

in the northern hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate

Answer 5

correctly when on a south or north heading

Question 6

In the Northern hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate intitnally a turn toward the west if

Answer 6

a right turn is entered from a north heading

Question 7

In the Northern hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn towards south when

Answer 7

the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading

Question 8

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a south heading in the northern hemisphere

Answer 8

The compass will indicate a turn right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

Question 9

In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn east if

Answer 9

a left turn is entered from a north heading

Question 10

the pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument

Answer 10

Airspeed indicator

Question 11

Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged

Answer 11

Airspeed indicator

Question 12

if the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

Answer 12

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator

Question 13

Which instrument will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?

Answer 13

Airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator

Question 14

What Nisan important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators?

Answer 14

Maneuvering speed

Question 15

What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent?

Answer 15

Never-exceed speed

Question 16

What is absolute altitude

Answer 16

The vertical Distance of the aircraft above the surface

Question 17

What is true altitude?

Answer 17

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level

Question 18

What is density altitude?

Answer 18

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temp.

Question 19

what is pressure altitude?

Answer 19

The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92

Question 20

Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates

Answer 20

true altitude at fields elevation

Question 21

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

Answer 21

When at sea level under standard conditions

Question 22

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value

Answer 22

At standard temperature

Question 23

Under what condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

Answer 23

When standard atmospheric conditions exist?

Question 24

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what will change?

Answer 24

700 ft increase in indicated altitude

Question 25

If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in indication?

Answer 25

Altimeter will indicate 150 ft lower

Question 26

If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting be adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Answer 26

Lower than the actual altitude above sea level

Question 27

If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Answer 27

higher than the actual altitude above sea level.
