(Figure 7.) How should a pilot determine the direction of bank from an attitude indicator such as the one illustrated?

By the relationship of the miniature airplane (C) to the deflected horizon bar (B).

What is pressure altitude

The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92.

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.

Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude or altimeter setting?

The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation.

If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?

The elevation of the departure area

What is density altitude

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude

When at sea level under standard conditions.

Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

When standard atmospheric conditions exist.

Adverse Yaw

Yawing tendency toward the outside of a turn.

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

a left turn is entered from a north heading

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft

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

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

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is

magnetic variation

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

movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes

(Figure 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

In the Northern Hemisphere, a 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
