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.

What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the east if

a left turn is entered from a north heading.

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if

a right turn is entered from a north heading.

Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft's

aerodynamic balance and controllability.

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.

The acute angle A is the angle of

attack

The angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind is known as the angle of

attack

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

The term "angle of attack" is defined as the angle between the

chord line of the wing and the relative wind.

In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate

correctly when on a north or south heading.

An airplane has been loaded in such a manner that the CG is located aft of the aft CG limit. One undesirable flight characteristic a pilot might experience with this airplane would be

difficulty in recovering from a stalled condition

An aircraft leaving ground effect during takeoff will

experience an increase in induced drag and a decrease in performance

Which is not a primary flight control surface?

flaps

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.

One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to

increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed

An airplane loaded with the Center of Gravity (CG) rear of the aft CG limit could

increase the likelihood of inadvertent overstress.

Loading an airplane to the most aft CG will cause the airplane to be

less stable at all speeds.

Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at

less than the length of the wingspan above the surface

The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are

lift, weight, thrust, and drag

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.

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

Limit load factor is the ratio of

maximum sustainable load to the gross weight of the airplane.

(fig. 7) The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the

miniature airplane to the horizon bar.

(fig. 5) A turn coordinator provides an indication of the

movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes

The airspeed indicated by points A and J is

normal stall speed

(fig. 6) To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be

periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses.

The left turning tendency of an airplane caused by P-factor is the result of the

propeller blade descending on the right, producing more thrust than the ascending blade on the left.

As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will

remain the same regardless of altitude

The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

remain the same regardless of gross weight

An airplane said to be inherently stable will

require less effort to control

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

speed of the airplane.

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the aircraft to

stall at a higher airspeed.

A positive load factor of 2 at 80 mph would cause the airplane to

stall.

In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin?

stalled

In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when

the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.

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.
