MC 1 Flashcards
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the right from an easterly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
East/West: Correct Smooth
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?
The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
Same Direction/Faster
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
Same Direction/Faster
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the right from a westerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
East/West: Correct Smooth
As you roll into a standard-rate right turn from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will
initially indicate a turn to the left.
Opposite Direction
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from a west heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
East/West: Correct Smooth
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from a north heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.
Opposite Direction
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from a east heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
East/West: Correct Smooth
(Refer to figure 149.) A system which transmits information to instruments has malfunctioned. Which instruments can you use to determine which system has failed?
Magnetic compass and vacuum pressure gauge.
MC Vacuum determines what failed
As you roll into a standard-rate left turn from a southerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, what should be the indication on the magnetic compass?
The compass will indicate a large change to an easterly heading ahead of the aircraft’s heading.
MC L Southerly: Large Easterly
While flying over Chicago, you have a vacuum failure. You are flying heading 180 on your magnetic compass. ATC instructs you to turn right to 270. The magnetic compass will
initially lead to the right.
