Q

2 IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC FLUX

A
  • Any MAGNET that is free to rotate will align with FLUX
  • Electrical Current is Induced into any conductor that cuts across them
25
Q

2 TYPES OF NORTH POLE

A
  • TRUE NORTH (GEOGRAPHIC NORTH POLE)
  • MAGNETIC NORTH
26
Q

An instrument for determining direction on the surface of earth by means of a magnetic pointer that aligns itself with earth’s magnetic field

A

COMPASS

27
Q

MAGNET IS USUALLY MADE UP OF

A

IRON (FE)

28
Q

It attracts and holds lines of MAGNETIC FLUX

A

MAGNET

29
Q

HOW MANY POLES DOES A MAGNET HAVE AND WHAT ARE THESE

A

2 POLES (NORTH & SOUTH)

30
Q

Attached to a float inside a bowl of clear compass fluid (like a kerosene)

A

SENSING MAGNET

31
Q

Graduated Scale. Wrapped Around the float. Viewed through a glass window

A

COMPASS CARD

32
Q

INDICATES THE CARDINAL DIRECTIONS INDICATES directions every 30°

A

GRADUATED SCALE

33
Q

HOW MANY DEGREES DOES A LONG AND SHORT GRADUATION HAVE

A

10 and 5 respectively

34
Q

Fixed line corresponding to the direction of the aircraft

A

LUBBER LINE

35
Q

Rides inside a special, spring-loaded, hard glass jewel cup. It allows the float freedom of movement to rotate and tilt, up to approx. 18° of bank

A

JEWEL and PIVOT ASSEMBLY

36
Q

To prevent damage or leakage when the fluid expands and contracts with changes in Temperature

A

EXPANSION UNIT

37
Q

For Refill of Compass Fluid (Kerosene)

A

Filler Hole and Plug

38
Q

USUALLY A 3V OR 5V

A

INSTRUMENT LAMP

39
Q

It minimizes the difference between compass indication and heading

A

Compensating Screws and Magnets

40
Q

The Pilot views the compass card from its backside. The reason for this backward graduation is

A

card remains stationary and the compass housing and the pilot rotate around it.

41
Q

MAGNETIC COMPASS ERRORS

A
  • VARIATION
  • DEVIATION
42
Q

Difference between TRUE and MAGNETIC directions

A

VARIATION

43
Q

This same angular difference in surveying and land navigation is called

A

DECLINATION

44
Q

Caused by Local magnetic fields in an aircraft caused by electrical current flowing in the structure, in nearby wiring or any magnetized part of the structure, conflict with the Earth’s magnetic field

A

DEVIATION

45
Q

The Aircraft Maintenance Technician can minimize the effects of Deviation error by performing this Maintenance Task using the AMM.

A

COMPASS SWING

46
Q

WHO CAN ONLY PERFORM COMPASS SWING AND FILL UP THE CORRECTION CARD

A

AUTHORIZED AMT

47
Q

PILOTS SHOULD REPORT OPERATIONAL INTERFERENCES SUCH AS

A
