Answer 1

Airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, vertical speed indicator, altimeter

Question 2

What instruments help with determining bank?

Answer 2

Turn coordinator, heading indicator, attitude indicator

Question 3

What are scanning errors?

Answer 3

Ommission, not paying attention to an instrument.
Rely too much on one instrument

Question 4

How many bars on attitude indicator should be used when making altitude adjustments? (+100’ & -100’)

Answer 4

Half a bar for -100’
A full bar for +100’

Question 5

What instruments are used for bank

Answer 5

Primary: heading indicator
Support: attitude indicator, turn coordinator

Question 6

How do you make corrections of +5 degrees and -5 degrees?

Answer 6

If -5 degrees then just use rudder
If +5 degrees then use bank

Question 7

What is the angle on a standard rate turn when flying at 100 TAS and 300 TAS?

Answer 7

100 TAS: 15.38 degrees
300 TAS: 39.5 degrees

Question 8

If turning 40 degrees in a heading, how much should be banked?

Answer 8

1/3 -1/2 of that. ie 13-20 degree bank

Question 9

What does FAR 91.21 say?

Answer 9

That I need to verify that my EFB doesn’t cause interference with the radio and nav in the cockpit

Question 10

What does advisory circular 91-78 say?

What is the lifespan of a vacuum pump?

Answer 11

500-1000 flight hours

Question 12

What is the difference when a plane has an electronic attitude and heading indicator?

Answer 12

These planes use an Attitude Heading Reference System. (AHRS) it uses sensors and accelerometers in conjunction with gps and airspeed information.

Question 13

What are the minimum equipment requirements for an aircraft to fly under IFR?

Answer 13

The minimum equipment requirements for an aircraft to fly under IFR are outlined in FAR Part 91.205. The required instruments and equipment include an
-attitude indicator,
-a heading indicator,
-a VOR (VHF omnidirectional range) receiver,
-an altimeter, an airspeed indicator,
-a vertical speed indicator,
-a magnetic direction indicator,
-a clock with a sweep-second pointer or digital equivalent,
-and two-way radio communication and navigation equipment appropriate to the ground facilities to be used.
