Straight and Level, Climbs and Decents

Question 1

Instruments indicate Pitch

Answer 1

Attitude
VSI
Altimeter
Airspeed indicator

Question 2

Instruments indicate Bank

Answer 2

Attitude
Turn Coordinator
Heading
Ball

Question 3

Instruments indicate Power

Answer 3

Airspeed
Tachometer
Manifold Pressure

Question 4

What is the definition of straight and level?

Answer 4

Constant Altitude
Constant Heading
Constant Airspeed

Question 5

Low power with high AOA maintains

Answer 5

Altitude

Question 6

Low AOA with high airspeed maintains

Answer 6

Altitude

Question 7

What are the indirect pitch instruments? How to read pitch with them.

Answer 7

Airspeed indicator, VSI and Altimeter

Question 8

Correction is needed less than 100 feet on altimeter?

More than 100 feet>

Answer 8

Use atitude indicator with half bar.

Use full bar with change.

Question 9

Recommended move to return to an altitude?

Answer 9

Don’t exceed double the amount of altitude correction

If 200 is needed, VSI shouldn’t not pass 400

Question 10

How can you detect the small bank changes?

Answer 10

Look atitude indicator’s banking scale (Center index)

Question 11

What is the primary bank instrument and what are supporting instruments during the leveled flight.

Answer 11

Heading indicator is primary bank and attitude and turn coordinator are support

Question 12

What is the most common error for pitch and bank control is:

Answer 12

Over-controlling

Question 13

What is the recommendation for 5 degrees less or more heading corrections?

Answer 13

If it is less than 5 use rudder, if it is more than 5 use coordinated turn.

Question 14

How to adjust power for level flight?

Answer 14

Reduce the power and adjust pitch attitude to maintain altitude

Question 15

for a level flight, what are the primary instruments when the power is adjusted?

Answer 15

Airspeed and altimeter

Question 16

What are the next steps when the pitch in increased?

Answer 16

Adjust RPM, use right rudder and check airspeed indicator

Question 17

If the airspeed indicator is going too slow or fast, what not to?

Answer 17

Don’t look at the airspeed indicator, look attitude indicator.

Question 18

What is the procedure for leveling off from a climb?

Answer 18

Begin to level off when reading 10% of the rate of the climb. 500FPM = 50 ft.

Question 19

What is the process for constant rate climb?

Answer 19

1) Increase RPM
2) raise the nose on attitude indicator
Primary are VSI and ASI

Question 20

what is overpowering for power management

during level off from climb?

Answer 20

when you reached your desired altitude, don’t reduce the power. wait ASI to reach speed.

Question 21

How to enter a decent?

Answer 21

lower the power and reduce to pitch to pre-determined setting.

Question 22

How to level-off from descent?

more 500 vs less 500

Answer 22

start level of at 10% of the descent rate.

less than 500, start leveling off 10%. if it is more than 500, start 20%

Question 23

In a constant rate climb, what is the primary pitch instrument?

Answer 23

Vertical Speed Indicator

Question 24

In a straight and level flight, what is the primary for bank?

Answer 24

Heading indicator
