Instrument (Private Level)

Question 1

Standard rate turn

Answer 1

3 degrees per second

Trick: use 15% of true airspeed to determine the bank angle. Divide by 10 and add back half.

Ex: 100 Knots TAS / 10 = 10 + 5 = 15 degree bank

Question 2

Coordinated rollout

Answer 2

Divide the standard turn rate by 2 and subtract from desired heading

Ex:

• Current heading is 030
• Desired heading is 120
• 15 degree bank is standard rate

In this example, you’d start the rollout at 112.5 heading

Question 3

Nose-High Attitude Recovery

Answer 3

1. Increase power as necessary
2. Apply forward elevator pressure to lower the nose
3. Correct bank angle, proper aileron and rudder pressure

Question 4

Nose-Low attitude recovery

Answer 4

1. Reduce power
2. Wings level and coordinated
3. Raise nose, apply smooth back elevator pressure

Question 5

An upset is defined as?

Answer 5

An event that unintentionally exceeds the parameters normally exceeded in flight or training

Question 6

Human factors resulting in an unusual attitude or upset are?

Answer 6

• VMC into IMC
• Diversion of attention
• Task saturation
• Sensory overload/deprivation
• Startle response
• Surprise response
