The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?

Airspeed indicator.

Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged?

Airspeed indicator.

You are flying an aircraft equipped with an electronic flight display and the air data computer fails. What instrument is affected?

Airspeed indicator.

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.

If the pitot tube and outside static vent(s) become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

Altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.

An aircraft which is equipped with an Electronic Flight Display (EFD) can

offer new capabilities and simplify the basic flying task.

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

At standard temperature.

(Refer to 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 an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators?

Maneuvering speed.

What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent?

Never-exceed speed.

During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?

Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.

How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter?

Pressure levels are raised on warm days and indicated altitude is lower than true altitude.

What steps must be taken when flying with glass cockpits to ensure safe flight?

Regularly scan both inside and outside, use all appropriate checklists, and cross-check with other forms of information.

What is a benefit of flying with a glass cockpit?

Situational awareness is increased.

Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?

Vertical speed indicator and altimeter.

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.

What is density altitude?

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.

(Refer to Figure 4.) Which marking identifies the never-exceed speed?

The red radial line.

What is true altitude?

The vertical distance of the aircraft above mean sea level (MSL).

What is absolute altitude?

The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.

(Refer to Figure 4.) Which color identifies the normal flap operating range?

The white arc.

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

When standard atmospheric conditions exist.

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.

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.

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

(Refer to 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, 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.

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.

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

miniature airplane to the horizon bar.

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

movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes.

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.

(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 1 indicates

10,500 feet.
