Flight Instruments Flashcards
Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged:
Airspeed.
Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged:
Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed.
If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected:
The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument:
Airspeed indicator.
Which V speed represents maneuvering speed:
VA
What does the red line on the airspeed indicator represent:
Never Exceed Speed.
Which color identifies the never-exceed speed:
The red radial line.
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed in a specified configuration:
Lower limit of the green arc.
Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff:
VX
After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time:
VY
What is the full flap operating range for the airplane:
60 to 100 MPH
(White Arc)
The maximum speed the aircraft can be operated in smooth air is:
208 MPH
(Yellow Arc)
What is the maximum flaps extended speed?
100 MPH
(Top of White Arc)
What color identifies the normal flap operating range:
The white arc.
Which color represents the power off stalling speed with winf flaps and landing gear in the landing configuration:
Lower limit of the white arc.
What is the maximum structural cruising speed:
165 MPH
(Top of green arc)
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators:
Maneuvering speed.
Which V speed represents maximum flaps extended speed:
VFE
Which V speed represents maximum landing gear extended speed:
VLE
VNO is defined as the:
Maximum structural cruising speed.
VSO is defined as the
Stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration.
What is the caution range of the aircraft:
165 to 208 MPH
(Yellow arc)
If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter:
The elevation of the departure area.
Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting:
The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation.
At which altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92, when climbing to cruising flight level:
18,000 MSL.
Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates:
True altitude at field elevation.
