Magnetic Compass(sub chapter 3)

Question 1

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by

Answer 1

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

Question 2

What is the angular difference between true north and magnetic north

Answer 2

magnetic variation

Question 3

deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by…

Answer 3

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft

Question 4

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward north if

Answer 4

an aircraft is accelerated on an east or west heading

Question 5

In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when

Answer 5

the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading

Question 6

what should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a SOUTH HEADING in the northern hemisphere

Answer 6

the compass will indicate a turn to the right (west), but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

Question 7

In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate…

Answer 7

correctly when on a north or south heading

Question 8

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if…

Answer 8

a right turn is entered from a NORTH heading

Question 9

In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the east if

Answer 9

a left turn is entered from a north heading

Question 10

during flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?

Answer 10

only in straight and level unaccelerated flight
