AT 144-Quiz 6

Northerly turning error causes the magnetic compass to either lead or lag. You are turning left to a heading of 180 degrees. Therefore you should roll out of the turn when the compass reads:

150 degrees

How fast is a standard rate turn?

360 degrees in 2 minutes

AHRS stands for

Attitude Heading Reference System

Airplane A has an airspeed of 100 MPH, airplane B 120 MPH and airplane C 140 MPH. All three airplanes are indicating a standard rate turn on the turn needle. Which airplane has the steepest bank angle?

C

Loss of the AHRS will affect the ADC.

False

The ADC does not measure raw static and pitot pressure.

False

GCU stands for

Garmin Control Unit

Variation is:

The angular difference between true and magnetic north

Deviation is something that we have to correct for when flying an airplane on a cross country.

True

If the altimeter has an accurate pressure setting in the Kohlsman window, it will show Mean Sea Level.

True

Never exceed airspeed is indicated on an airspeed indicator as:

a red line

In the northern hemisphere, if an airplane is accelerated on a heading of 60 degrees, the magnetic compass will indicate

a turn toward north

Which instruments are part of the "Alpha T"?

airspeed attitude indicator altimeter heading indicator

In round dial airplanes the _____, _______, and ______ instruments receive static information.

altimeter airspeed vertical speed

Indicated airspeed which has been corrected for instrument and position error is:

calibrated airspeed

You are flying from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure and you fail to reset your altimeter, therefore the aircraft is:

lower than the altimeter indication

Flight information that is shown on the artificial horizon (attitude indicator) is:

pitch and bank

In a zero wind situation, which airspeed increases as you climb in altitude in a turbocharged airplane?

True airspeed

Pressure altitude:

altitude relative to standard pressure at sea level used to determine plane performance
