FF102 Flashcards
Which performance instrument will provide you with the first indication of an incorrect pitch setting?
The VSI
Name the control instruments?
EADI and PEDD
During straight and level flight, your primary reference is the EADI, with airspeed, altitude, and heading cross-checks. Which performance instrument increases in importance during a turn?
EHSI
What performance instrument provides you with the first indication of failure to maintain zero bank in straight and level flight?
The EHSI
What should under normal circumstances be your primary attitude reference?
The outside horizon
Each of the following statements associates a type of deviation from level flight with a cause. Select the INCORRECT relationship.
a. An airspeed deviation is normally caused by an incorrect power setting.
b. An altitude deviation is normally caused by an improper pitch setting.
c. A heading deviation is normally caused by failure to correct for winds.
d. A heading deviation is normally caused by failure to maintain a zero bank angle.
c. A heading deviation is normally caused by failure to correct for winds.
How many Gs does it take to perform a level 60° bank turn?
2 G
Centering the ball is a good indication of coordinated flight only in straight and level flight.
False. The ball should be centered for coordinated flight, regardless of bank angle.
An ILS final approach is a good example of a rate descent.
True. Approximately 120 KIAS and 500 FPM.
You are doing a climb and plan to level off at 12,000 feet. You have the cockpit indication of 1800 FPM climb on the VSI.
To accomplish a smooth level off, how large a lead point should you use?
180 feet
You need to make a radio call to the controlling agency, but it isn’t one of the standard local area radio calls. What information should you provide to the controlling agency?
You should state the controlling agency, your call sign, and what you want.
Select the transponder code you would set if you experience a two-way radio failure.
7600
Select the transponder code you would set if you experience a high-jack situation.
7500
Select the transponder code you would set if you experience an emergency.
7700
Select the transponder code you would set if you are flying on VFR.
1200
What are the basic performance instruments?
ASI
Altimeter
VSI
What are ALL of the performance instruments?
Basic:
ASI
Altimeter
VSI
AOA
AOA Indexer
Turn and Bank Indicator
EHSI
Which performance instrument will provide the first indication of an incorrect pitch setting during level flight?
VSI
You are in level flight when you notice a heading deviation. What is normally the cause of a heading deviation?
Failure to maintain zero bank angle
You are 20° off your desired heading. What bank angle will you use to make your correction?
20°
You notice the aircraft is out of trim. In what order should you trim the control surfaces?
Rudder, elevator, aileron
Adjusting your heading so you fly a straight line groundtrack is called what?
crabbing
You are in straight and level flight when you notice the ball on the turn and slip indicator is not centered. What does this indicate?
The aircraft is out of yaw trim.
Describes the relationship of pitch and power when comparing a level turn to straight and level flight?
Both pitch and power increase to perform a level turn.
You are descending to 4000 feet at 200 KIAS. Your VSI indicates a 1500 fpm descent. At what altitude will you begin your level off?
4150
Your call sign is Texan 22, and you have been told to change to frequency 351.8. Select the correct phraseology for your response.
Texan too too, tree fife wun point ait (LOL)
What information would normally be transmitted through ATIS?
Current altimeter
Active runway
Sky condition
Winds
What is the correct transponder code for an emergency?
7700
Visual accommodation refers to the time it takes your eyes to focus. To ensure you will be able to see and recognize traffic, how long should you clear a given area to be sure your eyes have had sufficient time to focus?
2-3 seconds
What are the procedural steps for the control and performance concept?
E-T-C-A
What is Composite cross-check?
Composite cross-check is a two-step process of achieving an attitude by aligning part of the aircraft with a landmark or feature in the environment and verifying that the aircraft has attained the desired position by cross-checking performance instruments.
You are 25° off heading, how many degrees of bank will you use to correct?
25°
If the deviation is more than 30°, use 30° of bank to make the correction.
For altitude deviations less than 300 feet, how many degrees of pitch should you use?
Use approximately 2° of pitch change at cruise airspeeds.
How many G’s are needed for a 75.5 degree turn?
4 G
How many degrees of roll out lead should you use, when rolling out on your desired heading?
1/3 of your bank angle.
What does PAT stand for and what is it?
Power, Attitude, Trim
The PAT principle is simply a technique you can use to remember how to make smooth, continuous corrections
What caracterises a steep descent?
Greater than 6° nose low
During steep descents (greater than 6° nose low), it’s a good idea to do what, 1000 ft before reaching your desired altitude?
Cut your pitch attitude in half
