VERIFIED ANSWERS GUARANTEED PASS GRADED A+
On the taxi check, the magnetic compass should - (answers)Swing freely and indicate known headings
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left
from an east heading in the Northern Hemisphere? - (answers)The compass will indicate the
approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth
On what headings will the magnetic compass read most accurate during a level 360° turn, with a bank of
approximately 15°? - (answers)90° and 270°
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? - (answers)The compass will indicate a turn to the
right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass when you roll into a standard rate turn to the
left from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere? - (answers)The compass will indicate a turn to
the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right
from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere? - (answers)The compass will initially indicate a
turn to the left
What causes the northerly turning error in a magnetic compass? - (answers)The magnetic dip
characteristic
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? - (answers)The compass will initially indicate a turn
to the right
, While flying at an altitude of 8,000 ft., what CAS must be used to maintain a TAS of 155 kt. if the outside
air temperature is -5°C? - (answers)139 KCAS
What CAS must be used to maintain the filed TAS of 158 kt. at the flight planned altitude of 8,000 ft.?
(Temperature 0°C) - (answers)140 KCAS
What CAS must be used to maintain 180kt. TAS at the flight planned altitude of 8,000 ft. if the outside
air temperature is +8°C? - (answers)157 KCAS
If both the ram air input and the drain hole of the pitot system are blocked, what reaction should you
observe on the airspeed indicator when power is applied and a climb is initiated out of severe icing
conditions? - (answers)No change until and actual climb rate is established, then indicated airspeed will
increase
If the outside air temperature increases during a flight at constant power and at a constant indicated
altitude, the true airspeed will - (answers)Increase and true altitude will increase
If, while in level flight, it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure vented inside
the airplane, which of the following variations in instrument indications should the pilot expect? -
(answers)The altimeter will read higher than normal, airspeed greater than normal, and the VSI will
momentarily show a climb
During flight, if the pitot tube becomes clogged with ice, which of the following instruments would be
affected? - (answers)The airspeed indicator only
If both the ram air input and the drain hole of the pitot system become blocked, the indicated airspeed
will - (answers)Increase during a climb
If the pitot tube ram air pressure hole and drain hole become obstructed, the airspeed indicator will
operate - (answers)like an altimeter as the aircraft climbs and descends
