IN Flashcards
Define the control and performance concept
An aircraft is controlled by adjusting attitude and power.
What are the three categories of instruments?
- Control
- Performance
- Navigation
Where should your cross-check always originate?
EADI
Name the control Instruments
EADI and PEDD
Name the BASIC performance instruments
Airspeed
Altimeter
VSI
Name the OTHER performance instruments
EHSI
Turn and Slip
AOA
Which performance instruments lag?
Altimeter and VSI
How do you prevent chasing performance instruments?
Reference control instruments before making adjustments
When scanning standby instruments it is important to…
Stick to scanning just standby instruments, account for parallax, and scan faster.
EHSI and compass heading tolerance
5 degrees
Altimeter and Standby Alt tolerance
75 feet
CDI error
1234 rule
1/2 mile
3% distance
4 degrees
Instrument Flying Trim Input Order (technique)
Rudder first, then elevator, then ailerons
Acceleration Trim inputs
Left/Down
Power Addition Trim inputs
Right/Down
Deceleration Trim inputs
Right/Up
Power Reduction Trim inputs
Left/Up
Trim changes are best accomplished by
setting the attitude and trimming off the control pressures
Bank Angle Rule of Thumb
If turning 30 deg or less, bank angle should equal degrees of turn. If turning greater than 30 degrees, use a bank angle of 30 degrees
Describe a standard rate turn
3 degrees per second
two needle-width deflection on turn and slip
Angle of Bank Lead Point Rule
Use a heading lead point of approximately one-third of the AOB
Standard Rate Approx AOB equation
(TAS/10) + 7
Primary Function of the Standby Turn and Bank Indicator
measure the turn rate
Secondary Function of the Standby Turn and Bank Indicator
indicate direction of bank as backup for EADI
Level Off Lead Point
10% of your vertical speed in feet.
How are constant AIRSPEED climbs/descents accomplished?
Set power and adjust pitch for airspeed
How are constant RATE climbs/descents accomplished?
Vary power and pitch to maintain specified vertical velocity/airspeed
Within how many feet of field elevation should the local altimeter be set?
75 Feet
If the ball is left of center during a left turn, the aircraft is in a… ?
Slip
