1Characteristics of Gyroscopic Properties
- Ridigity In Space aka the gyroscopes ability to remain in a fixed postion in the plane while the plane is spinning or moveing around
2During a precision radar or ILS approach, the rate of descent required to remain on the glide slope will
increase as the ground speed increases
3BL. How can you obtain the pressure altitude on an airport where weather reporting is not available
Estimate the barometric pressure at the sea level with current weather chart.
4BL. What is proper method to obtain the current altimeter setting below 18,000 feet?
ATC advises the pilot as necessary
5BL. At FL250, the altimeter is set correctly, but forgot to reset to the local altimeter setting of 30.40 "Hg during descent. If the field elevation is 480 feet what is the approximate indication will be after landing?
Sea level
6FAA? M Altimeter setting is (the value to which the scale of the pressure altimeter – Kollsman window??) is set so the altimeter indicates
true altitude at field elevation.
7BL When is pressure altitude and density altitude are same?
Only when standard temperature exist.
8BL. When the outside air temperature getting increased at a constant indicated altitude, if the constant power is maintained the true airspeed and true altitude will
increase
9BL. While taxi for take off, the magnetic compass should be checked if it
swings freely and shows correctly to the known headings.
10BL. In a standard rate turn, the magnetic compass will be accurate during;
East and westerly heading
11BL. We increase AOA when we increase bank angle to maintain altitude because:
As vertical component of lift decreases as the bank angle increases.
12BL. In case both the ram air input and the drain hole of the pitot system are blocked due to icing, What airspeed indication would you expect to observe when power is applied and start the climb to get out of icing conditions?
13BL During taxi, if the VSI indicates a 100 fpm descent in error:
Continue and treat the 100 fpm descent as the "zero" indication.
14BL. Why the local altimeter setting should be used by all pilots?
for the vertical separation of aircraft.
15What does the erection system function cause during rapid acceleration?
a slight-nose up indication (horizion bar moves down)
16When a plane rolls out from a 180 degree turn to straight and level coordinated flight, what does the attitude indicator show?
A turn in the direction opposite of the skid and slight climb
17During taxi how do you know that an vaccuum driven heading indicator is unreliable?
you would need to set the heading indicator to the magnetic compass and after 5 minutes check for the proper alignment after taxi turns
18The turn coordinators gyro is mounted at an angle to show...
rate of roll and rate of turn
19The rate of turn of an airplane in any speed is a function of....
the horiziontal componenet of lift
20In order to improve the quality of a turn, a pilot must refer the....
ball of the turn coordinator
21With a half turn standard rate, how long will it take to turn 189?
2 minutes
22During a constant bank level turn, what happens if the airspeed increases?
the rate of turn decreases and the radius of the turn increases
23During the bank turn the airspeed is decreased, what must the pilot do to maintain level flight?
-decrease the angle of bank
-increase the angle of attack
24During taxi, how do you know a vacuum driven attitude indicator is unreliable?
the horzion bar shows more than 5 degree during taxi turns
25Preflight the turn and slip indicator during taxi is to check if:
-the ball moves freely to the opposite direction of the turn
-needle deflects to the same direction of the turn
26If you roll to turn to the right form the south heading in the N. Hemisphere...
the magnetic compass wil indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate
27VNO stand for
the maximum structural cruising speed
28VSO stands for...
the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration
29What CAS should be maintained for the filed TAS of 220 kts at 5000 feet MSL if the outside air temp. is 5 degrees C
200 KCAS
30When will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
When the OAT is colder than the standard air temperature
31When is pressure and density altitude the same?
only when a standard temperature exists
32When will pressure altitude be the same as true altitude?
when standard atmosphereic conditions exist
33BL. When an altimeter is changed from 30.15 "Hg to 29.95 "Hg, before you taxi, "How the altimeter indication will change?
Altimeter will indicate 200ft lower
34On FL250, which type of altitude is used?
Pressure altitude
35Kollsman window on the altimeter indicates what?
Pressure altitude at field elevation
36How do you check the altimter for an IFR flight?
- Set the altimeter to the correct altimeter setting
- if the indication is off by more than 75ft from the field elevation
- then the instrument should be reffered to a certified instrument repair station for recalibration
37If you are departing from an airport where the AWOS is out of service, the altimeter should be set to....
- the airport elevation
38BL. At FL250, the altimeter is set correctly, but forgot to reset to the local altimeter setting of 30.40 "Hg during descent. If the field elevation is 480 feet what is the approximate indication will be after landing?
Sea level
39BL. What is proper method to obtain the current altimeter setting below 18,000 feet?
Contact FSS
40BL. How can you obtain the pressure altitude on an airport where weather reporting is not available
Set the altimeter to 29.92 "Hg and read the altimeter.
41BL. Why the local altimeter setting should be used by all pilots?
for terrain and obstacle clearance
42BL During taxi, if the VSI indicates a 100 fpm descent in error:
continue, but only if the weather is VMC.
43BL. When both the pitot tube and outside static vent become clogged by ice, which instruments would be affected?
The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator
44BL. In case both the ram air input and the drain hole of the pitot system are blocked due to icing, What airspeed indication would you expect to observe when power is applied and start the climb to get out of icing conditions?
indicated airspeed will increase as the airplane climbs
45BL. If the static ports were iced over what would VSI indicate during the descent?
The VSI will indicate 0.
46BL. If the alternate static source is opened during level flight, what would you expect
higher indicated altitude on the altimeter.
47BL. When will the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than actual altitude (true altitude)?
OAT is lower than standard.
48During a precision radar or ILS approach, the rate of descent required to remain on the glide slope will
remain the same regardless of ground speed.
