Aviation

Question 1

The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?

Answer 1

Airspeed indicator

Question 2

Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become
clogged?

Answer 2

Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed

Question 3

Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes
clogged?

Answer 3

Airspeed

Question 4

What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent?

Answer 4

Never-exceed speed

Question 5

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

Answer 5

Maneuvering speed

Question 6

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

Answer 6

Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower

Question 7

How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter?

Answer 7

Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude.

Question 8

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

Answer 8

700-foot increase in indicated altitude

Question 9

What is true altitude?

Answer 9

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level

Question 10

What is absolute altitude?

Answer 10

The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface

Question 11

What is density altitude?

Answer 11

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

Question 12

What is pressure altitude?

Answer 12

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

Question 13

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

Answer 13

true altitude at field elevation

Question 14

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

Answer 14

When standard atmospheric conditions exist

Question 15

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 15

higher than the actual altitude above sea level

Question 16

What steps must be taken when flying with glass cockpits to ensure
safe flight?

Answer 16

Regularly scan both inside and outside, use all appropriate

checklists, and cross-check with other forms of information.
