Question
Answer
which v speed represent maneuvering speed?   Va  
🗑
if an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter   the elevation of the departure.  
🗑
Prior to take off, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting?   the current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation  
🗑
if the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instrument s would be affected?   the altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed.  
🗑
which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged?   airspeed.  
🗑
which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?   airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed  
🗑
altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates   true altitude at field elevation.  
🗑
what is true altitude?   is the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.  
🗑
what is absolute altitude?   the vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.  
🗑
what is absolute altitude?   the vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.  
🗑
what is density altitude?   is the pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.  
🗑
what is pressure altitude?   the altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92  
🗑
under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?   when at sea level under standard condition  
🗑
if it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?   700 foot increase in indicated altitude.  
🗑
the pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?   airspeed indicator.  
🗑
as altitude increase, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in particular configuration will   remain the same regardless of altitude.  
🗑
what does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent?   Never exceed speed  
🗑
what is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators?   Maneuvering speed.  
🗑
a turn coordinator provides an indication of the   movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes  
🗑
To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be   periodically realigned with the magnegtic compass as the gyro precesses  
🗑
the proper adjustment to make on the altitude indicator during level flight is to align the   miniature airplane to the horizon bar  
🗑
how should the pilot determine the direction of bank from an attitude indicator   by relationship of the miniature airplane to the deflected horizon bar  
🗑
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by   magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force  
🗑
in the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a trun toward the west if   right turn is entered from a north heading  
🗑
in the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the east if   left turn is entered from a north heading  
🗑
in the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if   an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.  
🗑
In the norther hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when   the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.  
🗑
in the northern hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate correctly   when heading south or north  
🗑
during flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate   only straight and level unaccelerated flight  
🗑
if the outside air temperature (OAT)at a given altitude if warmer than standard, the density altitude is   higher than pressure altitude.  
🗑
what are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level   15C and 29.92 inches Hg  
🗑
if a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in indication?   altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower  
🗑
under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude   when standard atmospheric condition exist  
🗑
under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?   at standard temperature.  
🗑
if a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate   lower than the actual altitude above sea level  
🗑
if a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate?   higher than the actual altitude above sea level  
🗑
under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?   in colder than standard air temperature.  
🗑
which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude?   air temperature warmer than standard.  
🗑
which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport?   an increase in ambient temperature.  
🗑
the angular difference between true north and magnetic north is   magnetic variation  
🗑
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   the compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring  
🗑
when converting from true course to magnetic heading, pilot should   add westerly variation and subtract lef wind correction angle( east is least. west is best)  
🗑
