Airplanes Instruments,Engines,and Systems Flashcards
In the northern hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if?
An aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading
During flight when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
Only in straight and level unaccelerated flight
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the?
Magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force
in the northern hemisphere if an aircraft is accelerated or Deccelerated the magnetic compass will normally indicate?
Correctly when on a north or south heading
In the northern hemisphere a magnetic compass would normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if?
A right turn is entered from a north heading
In the northern hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when?
The aircraft is decelerated while on a West heading
In the northern hemisphere a magnetic compass would normally indicate initially he turn toward the east if
A left turn is entered from a north heading
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?
The Compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring
