If RVR is inoperative for the runway in use, you must
convert RVR minimums and use the value as ground visibility.

1 minute.
If a standard-rate turn is maintained, how much time would be required to turn to the right from a heading of 090 to a heading of 270?
1 minute.
When an aircraft is accelerated, some altitude indicator will precess and incorrectly indicate a
climb.
When an aircraft is decelerated, some attitude indicators will precess and incorrectly indicate a
descent.
What indication should be observed on a turn coordinator during a left turn while taxiing?
The miniature aircraft will show a turn to the left and the ball moves to the right.
On a taxi check, the magnetic compass should
swing freely and indicate known headings.
Which conditions during taxi is an indication that an attitude indicator is unreliable?
The horizon bar tilts more than 5 degrees while making taxi turns.
What pretakeoff check should be made of the attitude indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?
The horizon bar should erect and become stable within 5 minutes.
What pretakeoff check should be made of a vacuum driven heading indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?
After 5 minutes, set the indicator to the magnetic heading of the aircraft and check for proper alignment after taxi turns.
What is the correct sequence in which to use the three skills used instrument flying?
Instrument cross-check, instrument interpretation, and aircraft control.
What are the three fundamental skills involved in attitude instruments flying?
Instrument cross-check, instrument interpretation, and aircraft control.
What is the third fundamental skill in attitude instrument flying?
Aircraft control.
What is the first fundamental skill in attitude instrument flying?
Instrument cross-check.
Which instrument, in addition to the attitude indicator, are pitch instruments?
Altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
You check the flight instruments while taxiing and find that the vertical speed indicator (VSI) indicates a descent of 100 feet per minute. In this case, you
may take off and use 100 feet descent as the zero indication.
As a rule of thumb, altitude corrections of less than 100 feet should be corrected by using a
half bar width on the attitude indicator.
Which instrument, in a primary-secondary relationship, is the primary instrument for bank control in straight-and-level flight?
Heading indicator.
In straight and level flight using primary-secondary instrument scanning technique, which instruments is primary for pitch?
Altimeter.
For maintaining level flight at constant thrust, which instrument would be at least appropriate for determining the need for a pitch change?
Attitude indicator.
The glide slope and localizer are centered, but the airspeed is too fast. Which should be adjusted initially?
Power only.
What is the primary power pitch instrument during stabilized climbing left turn at cruise climb airspeed?
Airspeed indicator.
Approximately what percent of the indicated vertical speed should be used to determine the number of feet to lead the level off from a climb to a specific altitude?
10 percent.
To level off from descent to a specific altitude, the pilot should lead the level off by approximately
10 percent of the vertical speed.
To enter a constant airspeed descent from level cruising flight, and maintain cruising airspeed, the pilot should
simultaneously reduce power and adjust pitch using the attitude indicator as a reference to maintain the cruising airspeed.
To level off at an airspeed higher than the descent speed, the addition of power should be made, assuming a 500 FPM rate of descent, at approximately
100 to 150 feet above the desired altitude.
To level off from a descent maintaining the descending airspeed, the pilot should lead the desired altitude by approximately
50 feet.
While cruising at 160 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 130 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it is proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the
attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 130 knot climb.
While cruising at 190 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 160 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it would be proper to make initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the
attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for he 160 knot climb.
What indication is presented by the miniature aircraft of the turn coordinator?
Indirect indication of the bank attitude.
The displacement of a turn coordinator during a coordinated turn will
increase as angle of bank increases.
While recovering from an unusual flight attitude without the aid of the attitude indicator, approximate level pitch attitude is reached when the
airspeed and altimeter stop their movement and the VSI reverses its trend.
If an airplane is in unusual flight attitude and the attitude indicator has exceeded its limits which instruments should be relied on to determine pitch attitude before starting recovery?
Airspeed and altimeter.
Which is the correct sequence for recovery from a spiraling, nose low, increasing airspeed, unusual flight attitude?
Reduce power, correct the bank attitude, and raise the nose to a level attitude.
During recoveries from unusual attitudes, level flight is attained the instant
the altimeter and airspeed needles stop prior to reversing their direction of movement,
Figure 145, What is the correct sequence for recovery from the unusual attitude indicated?
Reduce power, level the wings, bring pitch attitude to level flight using ailerons and rudder.
Figure 146 (The DG shows a right turn. OAT is -1 C), Identify the system that has failed and determine a corrective action to return the airplane to straight-and-level flight.

Figure 147 (Ignore the arrow above the DG, it shows a right turn.) Which is the correct sequence for recovery from the unusual attitude indicated?
Add power, lower nose, level wings, return to original attitude and heading.
