IR CAAP Exam questions with verified
solutions
On the taxi check, the magnetic compass should - correct answer ✔✔ 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? - correct answer ✔✔ The compass
will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth
During flight, if the pitot tube becomes clogged with ice, which of the following instruments
would be affected? - correct answer ✔✔ The airspeed indicator only.
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? - correct answer ✔✔ No change until an actual climb rate is
established, then indicated airspeed will increase.
At an altitude of 6,500 feet MSL, the current altimeter setting is 30.42" Hg. The pressure altitude
would be approximately - correct answer ✔✔ 6000 ft
One characteristic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the - correct
answer ✔✔ Resistance to deflection of the spinning wheel or disc.
During coordinated turns, which force moves the pendulous vanes of a vacuum-driven attitude
indicator resulting in precession of the gyro toward the inside of the turn? - correct answer ✔✔
Centrifugal
, What indications are displayed by the miniature aircraft of a turn coordinate? - correct answer
✔✔ Rate of roll and rate of turn
Which instruments should be used to make a pitch correction when you have deviated from
your assigned altitude? - correct answer ✔✔ Attitude indicator, altimeter, VSI
To level off at an airspeed higher than the descent speed, the addition of power should be
made, assuming a 500 fpm rate of descent, at approximately - correct answer ✔✔ 100 to 150
feet above the desired altitude.
To level off from a descent maintaining the descending airspeed, the pilot should lead the
desired altitude by approximately - correct answer ✔✔ 50 feet
Which instrument provides the most pertinent information (primary) for bank control in
straight-and-level flight? - correct answer ✔✔ Heading indicator
For maintaining level flight at constant thrust, which instrument would be the least appropriate
for determining the need for a pitch change? - correct answer ✔✔ Attitude indicator
What is the primary pitch instrument during a stabilized climbing left turn at cruise climb
airspeed? - correct answer ✔✔ Airspeed indicator
When a VOR/DME is collocated under frequency pairings and the VOR portion is inoperative,
the DME identifier will repeat at an interval of - correct answer ✔✔ 30 second intervals at 1350
Hz
What is the required flight visibility and distance from clouds if you are operating in Class E
airspace at 9500 ft MSL with a VFR-on-top clearance during daylight hours? - correct answer
✔✔ 3 SM, 1000 ft above, 500 ft below, and 2000 ft horizontal
