General 3 Flashcards
During power-off stalls with flaps full down, the stall occurs and the pointer on the airspeed
indicator shows a speed less than the minimum limit of the white arc on the indicator. This is most probably due to
installation error in the pitot-static system.
Which instrument would be affected by excessively low pressure in the airplane’s vacuum system?
Heading indicator
What suggestion could you make to students who are experiencing motion sickness?
Tell the students to avoid unnecessary head movement and to keep their eyes on a point outside
the aircraft.
A student is facing motion problems, what can you do?
1) avoid lessons in turbulent conditions until becoming more
comfortable
2) opening fresh air vents, focusing on
objects outside the airplane,
How can smokflg affect a pilot?
Reduces the oxygen carrying capability of the blood.
Which indications would a pilot see while approaching to land on a runway served by a 2-
bar VASI?
If departing to the high side of the glidepath, the far bars will change from red to pink to white.
An airport has pilot controlled lighting but runways without approach lights.
How many times
should you key your microphone to turn on the MIRL at medium intensity?
5 clicks
The runway hold position sign denotes
an entrance to runway from a taxiway.
What is the purpose for the runway hold position markings on the taxiway?
Identify where aircraft hold short of the runway
What does the outbound destination sign identify?
Identifies direction to take-off runways.
The taxiway ending marker
indicates the taxiway does not continue beyond the intersection.
What is the purpose of No Entry sign?
Identifies paved area where aircraft are prohibited from entering.
What is the purpose of the yellow demarcation bar marking?
Delineates runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stop-way or taxiway that precedes the runway.
What is the purpose of the yellow demarcation bar marking?
Delineates runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stop way or taxiway that precedes
the runway
What purpose does a “taxiway location” sign serve? It
identifies a taxiway on which an aircraft is located.
When exiting the runway, the “runway exit” sign Indicates the
direction to turn to exit runway onto named taxiway.
When an air traffic controller issued radar traffic information in related to the 12 hour clock the reference the controller is using is
aircraft’s ground track
How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?
outward, upward, and around each tip.
What effect would a crosswind of 5 knots or less have on the wingtip vortices generated by a
large aircraft that had just taken off?
The upwind vortex would tend to remain on the runway longer than the downwind vortex.
During a takeoff made behind a departing large jet airplane, the pilot can minimize the hazard
of wingtip vortices by
being airborne prior to reaching the jet’s flightpath until able to turn clear of its wake.
When larding behind a large Jet aircraft, at which point on the runway should you plan to Iand?
Beyond the jet’s touch down point.
Due to the affect of wake turbulence, what minimum separation does AC provide for a small aircraft landing behind a heavy jet?
6 miles
Which statement is true regarding alcohol in the human system?
Alcohol renders a pilot more susceptible to hypoxia
During a climb to 18,000 feet, the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere
remains the same
Which statement concerning hypoxia is true?
belligerence or a false sense of security may be symptoms of hypoxia
Hypoxia is the result of
reduced barometric pressures at altitude
What physical change would most likely to occur to occupants of an unpressurized aircraft flying above 15000 feet without supplemental oxygen?
A blue coloration of the lips and fingernails develop along with tunnel vision
Hyperventilation results in
a lack of carbon dioxide in the body.
Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause
hyperventilation.
A person should be able to overcome the symptoms of hyperventilation by
slowing the breathing rate and increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the body.
