|---|---|
| When performing the static system leakage check required by 14 CFR 91.411, the technician utilizes | negative pressure |
| The function of a display controller in an EFIS is to | allow the pilot to select the appropiate system configuration for the current flight situation |
| When flags such as NAV, HDG, or GS are displayed on an HSI, the indication is | that function is inoperative |
| Cases for electrically operated instruments are made of | iron or steel cases |
| When an aircraft altimeter is set at 29.92 "Hg on the ground, the altimeter will read | pressure altitude |
| Which instruments are connected to an aircraft's static pressure system only? | Vertical speed indicator and altimeter |
| A Bourdon tube instrument may be used to indicate | pressure and temperature |
| Instrument static system leakage can be detected by observing the rate of change in indication of the | altimeter after suction has been applied to the static system to cause a prescribed equivalent altitude to be indicated |
| Aircraft instrument panels are generally shock-mounted to absorb | low-frequency, high-amplitude shocks |
| The operation of an angle of attack indicating system is based on detection of differential pressure at a point where the airstream flows in a direction | not parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft |
| The method of mounting aircraft instruments in their respective panels depends on the | design of the instrument case |
| An aircraft magnetic compass is swung to up-date the compass correction card when | equipment is added that could affect compass deviaiton |
| The requirements for testing and inspection of instrument static systems required by 14 CFR 91.411 are contained in | Part 43, appendix E. |
| Aircraft instrument value should be marked and graduated in accordance with | the specific aircraft maintenance or flight manual |
| Where may a person look for the information necessary to determine the required markings on an engine instrument? | Aircraft flight manual or aircraft's maintenance manual |
| How many of the following are controlled by gyroscopes? 1. Attitude indicator. 2. Heading indicator. 3. Turn needle of the turn-and-slip indicator. | Three |
| Instrument panel shock mounts absorb | low-frequency, high-amplitude shocks |
| How would an airspeed indicator be marked to show the best rate-of-climb speed (one engine inoperative)? | A blue radial line |
| When an unpressurized aircraft's static pressure system is leak checked to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 91.411, what aircraft instrument may be used in lieu of a pitot-static system tester? | altimeter |
| Which condition would be most likely to cause excessive vacuum in a vacuum system? | Vacuum relief valve improperly adjusted |
| A synchro transmitter is connected to a synchro receiver | electrically with wires |
| The function of a symbol generator (SG) in an EFIS is to | receive and process input signals from signals from aircraft and engine sensors and send the data to the appropriate display |
