Question 1

This has a ___, as opposed to the turn coordinator’s plane silhouette

Answer 1

vertical needle

Question 2

This will give you the ___ of turn, as it’s only sensitive to ___, which is what is measured for low bank angles

Answer 2

rate yaw

Question 3

It has the ___ axis across the aircraft, so it spins __ and ___ you, with one end of the spindle held in place with a spring.

Answer 3

spin up away from

Question 4

The gyro is aircraft ___ with _ planes of freedom

Answer 4

horizontal 2

Question 5

During normal operations, the spring keeps the spin axis ___ so that the turn pointer is at zero.

Answer 5

horizontal

Question 6

The ___ induced when you turn is precessed to the top and bottom of the gyro

Answer 6

yaw

Question 7

As the spring stretches to cope with gyro movement around the ___ axis, they apply a force that produces a secondary preceession equal to and in the same direction as the rate of turn

Answer 7

longitudinal

Question 8

The turn makes the gyro move, to create a primary precession that stretches a spring that creates another in the ___ direction __ the original force

Answer 8

same as

Question 9

With no spring, you would still see a turn indication, but without any idea of its magnitude, so the spring controls the ___ ___ of the gimbal ring and introduces its own precessing force

Answer 9

angular deflection

Question 10

As the precession is equal to the rate of turn multiplied by the ___ ___, the force is a measure of the rare of turn

Answer 10

angular momentum

Question 11

When the secondary force is ___ ___ the primary applied force, the secondary precession caused by the spring is proportional to the actual rate of turn.

Answer 11

equal to

Question 12

All errors will cause the instrument to ___read, except when the rate of turn is less than rate _, when rotor speed is ___ than normal, and when the springs are ___

Answer 12

under, 1, faster, slack

Question 13

The ball is sensitive to ___ and ___ force

Answer 13

gravity and apparent centrifugal

Question 14

If the TAS is within ___kts of the calibrated TAS, the error in the indicated rate of turn should not be more than 5% of the actual rate of turn

Answer 14

100

Question 15

During steep turns, when an increase in pitch is required to stay level, the instrument will ___indicate the rate of turn

Answer 15

over

Question 16

With a low rotor speed, the instrument will ___read the rate of turn as the gyro is less rigid and will precess more quickly

Answer 16

under

Question 17

Less tilt means that a ___ rate of turn is indicated

Answer 17

lower

Question 18

With the gyro overspeeding, the indicated rate of turn is ___ than it should be

A weak spring will result in ___reading

Answer 19

over

Answer 21

it does
