What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as
you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a west
heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will indicate the approximate correct
magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
B. The compass will remain on west for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft.
C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. -
ANSWERS-Answer (A) The compass will indicate the
approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the
turn is smooth.
,If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to
the left or right from an east or west heading, the compass
will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading.
Turning errors appear on turns from north or south
headings, not east or west.
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?
A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.
B. The compass will remain on north for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft.
C. The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster
rate than is actually occurring. - ANSWERS-Answer (A) The
compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.
In turns from a northerly heading in the Northern
Hemisphere, the compass will initially indicate a turn to the
opposite direction, and the compass heading will lag behind
actual until the airplane approaches an east or west
heading.
,During flight, if the pitot tube becomes clogged with ice,
which of the following instruments would be affected?
A. The airspeed indicator and the altimeter.
B. The airspeed indicator only.
C. The airspeed indicator, altimeter, and Vertical Speed
Indicator. - ANSWERS-Answer (B) The airspeed indicator
only.
The pitot-static system is a source of pressure for the
altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and airspeed indicator.
The pitot tube is connected directly to the airspeed
indicator, and the static vents are connected directly to all
three. The pressure of air coming into the pitot tube (impact
air pressure) is compared with the air pressure at the static
system vents to determine airspeed.
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?
, A. The indicated airspeed would show a continuous
deceleration while climbing.
B. No change until an actual climb rate is established, then
indicated airspeed will increase.
C. The airspeed would drop to, and remain at, zero. -
ANSWERS-Answer (B) No change until an actual climb rate is
established, then indicated airspeed will increase.
When the airspeed indicator pitot tube and drain hole are
blocked, the airspeed indicator will react as an altimeter.
There will be a constant pressure within the pitot tube, and
as the pressure from the static source decreases during a
climb, the indicated airspeed on the altimeter will increase.
What indication should a pilot observe if an airspeed
indicator ram air input and drain hole are blocked?
A. The airspeed indicator will react as an altimeter.
