Chapter 2 Section C Quiz

Question 1

What is the atmospheric pressure and temperature at sea level in a standard atmosphere?

Answer 1

Atmospheric press. - 29.92 Inches Hg
Temperature -
15 Celsius(59Fahrenheit )

Question 2

Pitot pressure is used by which flight instrument?

Answer 2

Air speed indicator, vertical speed indicator, altimeter

Question 3

Which important airspeed limitation changes with aircraft weight and is not depicted on the airspeed indicator?

Answer 3

Va - maneuvering speed

Question 4

The height of the airplane above the earth’s surface?

Answer 4

Absolute altitude

Question 5

The actual height of an object above mean sea level?

Answer 5

True altitude

Question 6

The vertical distance above the standard datum plane?

Answer 6

Pressure altitude

Question 7

Pressure altitude corrected for non standard temperature?

Answer 7

Density Altitude

Question 8

you fly from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure but do not reset your altimeter. if you maintain a consistent indicated altitude, will you be at your desired altitude? why?

Answer 8

no, when going from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area think “high to low look out below”. the decrease in pressure makes the altimeter sense a higher altitude than the true altitude.

Question 9

what will the effect be on the airspeed indicator if the static system becomes clogged, but the pitot systems remain unobstructed? Why?

Answer 9

air speed indicator will work but the readings will be incorrect. the Airspeed indicator will have slower indicated air speed when the airplane is operated at higher altitude when the clogged occurred and the opposite will happen when you operate a plane at a lower altitude when the clog happen.

Question 10

what type of movement is shown by the attitude indicator, but not by the turn coordinator?

Answer 10

attitude indicators show the amount of degrees pitch and roll. it will have an artificial horizon and miniature plane to show the position of the plane compared to the horizon. turn coordinator only indicates the direction of bank the plane is rolling into.

Question 11

if you accelerate an airplane in the north hemisphere on a heading of east, your compass will indicate a turn to the south. true/false

Answer 11

false, it will indicate north. remember the acronym “ANDS”

Question 12

describe the function of the AHRS?

Answer 12

to provide attitude, heading, rate of turn, and slip/skid info.

Question 13

In what direction does the slip/skid indicator move when the plane is in a slip?

Answer 13

the trapezoid of the slip/skid indicator located beneath the roll pointer moves to the inside of the turn.

Question 14

what information is provided by the trend vector on the HSI?

Answer 14

the trend vector provides what the airplane’s heading will be in six seconds if the turn continues at the same time. the turn rate indicator index marks that are 18 degrees either side of center provide a reference for making standard rate turn.

Question 15

what happens to the AHRS if it detects a problem with the integrity of the of the sensory information?

Answer 15

a red X is placed over the display of the affected instrument.

Question 16

what provides information to the ADC?

Answer 16

The pitot tube, static source, and outside air temperature probe provide information to the ADC.

Question 17

explain the trend vector on the altimeter for the AHRS?

Answer 17

the trend vector shows the airspeed that the airplane will reach in six seconds if it continues to decelerate or accelerate at the same rate.

Question 18

describe how the integrated flight display system compensates for a PFD screen failure?

Answer 18

if the PFD screen fails all the information from the instruments is still there but all the information will automatically be transferred to the MFD and vice versa.

Question 19

True/False. An enhanced flight vision system can be displayed on a PFD.

Answer 19

true.
