Q

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

27

Q

A

less than a full bar width on the attitude indicator

30
Q

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

A

attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 130-knot climb

31
Q

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

A

100 to 150 feet above the desired altitude

32
Q

Which instruments should be used to make a pitch correction when you have deviated from your assigned altitude

A

Attitude indicator, altimeter, and VSI

33
Q

As a rule of thumb, altitude corrections of less than 100 feet should be corrected by using a

A

half bar width on the attitude indicator

34
Q

To enter a constant-airspeed descent from level-cruising flight, and maintain cruising airspeed, the pilot should

A

simultaneously reduce power and adjust the pitch using the attitude indicator as a reference to maintain the cruising airspeed

35
Q

To level off from a descent maintaining the descending airspeed, the pilot should lead the desired altitude by approximately

A

50 feet

36
Q

While cruising at 190 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 160 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it would proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the
