Q

What things change when the backup static pressure port is used?

A
  1. Alt reads slightly higher than actual
  2. ASI indicates airspeed greater than actual
  3. VSI shows momentary climb and then stabilizes if altitude is held constant.

Q

Under what condition is true altitude lower than indicated? With respect to air temp

A

Colder temp

17
Q

Every inch of mercury represents how many feet?

A

1000 ft

18
Q

Easy way to remember what happens to altimeter when mercury setting is changed?

A

Numbers go up, hands go up

19
Q

Define density altitude in words

A

Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

20
Q

How to reset the overvoltage relay?

A

Turn off all electronics and reset the master switch

21
Q

Most airplanes are powered by a … volt DC electrical system and a …. volt battery.

A

28 and 24

22
Q

Slip vs skid

A

Slip
- Towards the inside of the turn
- too little rudder
Skid
- Towards the outside of the turn
- too much rudder

23
Q

What causes deviation error in a magnetic compass?

A

metals and electrical systems of the aircraft

24
Q

Describe compass turn error and when it happens

A

East or west heading

  • Indicates turn towards north during acceleration
  • Indicates turn towards south when decelerating
  • ANDS - Accelerate north, decelerate south
25
Q

What is magnetic variation vs deviation?

A

Variation is true vs magnetic north
Deviation is related to electronic interference

26
Q

Northern hemisphere heading north, when will compass indicate initial turn towards west?

A

North turning right

27
Q

How to know whether to add or subtract closest isogonic line when calculating magnetic course?

A

East is least, west is best

  • True course is west of line = add isogonic line
  • True course is east of line = subtract isogonic line
28
Q

Sequence for increasing or decreasing power on constant speed prop?

A

Avoid high manifold pressure and low RPM

  • Increasing power = increase RPM first, then manifold pressure

Advancing the propeller creates the potential for power and the throttle fills it in

29
Q

When to position flight controls for wind? And how?

A

Climb into the wind, Dive away from the wind

  • Above 10kts - position for wind
  • Below 10 kts - Stick full back to protect the nose wheel
30
Q

What do the segments of the wind sock represent?

A

5, 10, 15 knots of wind
