Question 5

Fundamental properties of gyroscopic action

Answer 5

Rigidity in space

Precession

Question 6

What is rigidity in space as it pertains to gyroscopes

Answer 6

Refers to the principle that a gyroscope remains in a fixed position in the plane in which it is spinning

Question 7

What is precession as it pertains to gyroscopes

Answer 7

Procession is a tilting or turning of a gyro in response to a deflective force, this Force when applied occurs at a 90° point later in the direction of rotation

Question 8

Two types of turn indicators

Answer 8

Turn and slip indicator

Turn coordinators

Question 9

Turn and slip indicator general function

Answer 9

Rotates in the vertical plane corresponding to the aircraft longitudinal axis.Uses a pointer call the turn needle to show the direction and rate of turn.

Question 10

Turn coordinator general functions

Answer 10

The gimbal and a turn coordinator is canted therefore it’s gyro can sense both rate of roll and rate of turn.

Question 11

Inclinometer general functions

Answer 11

Used to depict aircraft yaw. during coordinated straight and level flight, the force of gravity causes the ball to rest in the lowest part of the tube centered between the reference lines.

Question 12

Attitude indicator general principles of function

Answer 12

Depicts miniature aircraft as in relation to the horizon. The gyro is mounted in a horizontal plane, the bar is fixed to the gyro and remains in horizontal plane as he aircraft is pitched or banked about its lateral a longitudinal axis. The aircraft actually rotates around the spinning gyro.

Question 13

Diluted demand oxygen system

Answer 13

supply oxygen only when the user inhales through the mask. Can mix cabin air an oxygen or supply 100% oxygen. Tight seal and can be used up to 40,000 ft

Question 14

Pressure demand oxygen system

Answer 14

Similar to diluted except the oxygen is supplied to the mask under pressure at cabin altitudes above 34000 ft. Oxygen tight seal positive pressure which allows a uses lungs to be pressurized with oxygen. Safer at altitudes above 40000 feet.

Question 15

Continuous Flow oxygen system

Answer 15

Usually provided for passengers. Typically has a reservoir bag that collects oxygen from The continuous Flow oxygen system. Ambient air headed to the supplied oxygen during lesion after reserve back oxygen is depleted.

Question 16

Answer 22

Can create an illusion of being at a greater distance and height from the runway

Question 23

Fog illusion

Answer 23

Can create an illusion of pitching up

Question 24

Federal aviation regulations pertaining to drugs

Answer 24

61.53

Prohibited acting as pic four non medical conditions or taking medication or receiving another treatment whichresults in the person being unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation

91.17

prohibits the use of any drug that affects the person’s faculties in any way contrary to safety

Question 25

Actions during a decompression sickness emergency

Answer 25

Put on oxygen if available switch to 100% Being an emergency descent and landing soon as possible even if the symptoms disappeared during descent If one of the symptoms of joint pain keep the affected area still Apollo landing seek medical assistance from an FAA medical officer a m a military flight surgeon or a hyperbaric medicine specialist Treatment may involve the use of a hyperbaric chamber

Question 26

Wait times after scuba diving

Answer 26

Altitudes of up to 8,000 feet is 12 hours after diving that does not require controlled ascend, and at least 24 hours after diving that does require controlled descent. Waiting time before going to flight altitudes above 8000 feet should be at least 24 hours after scuba
