Aero 100 Quiz

Refer to figure 82. Which altimeter(s) indicate(s) more than 9,000 ft?

(skinny long=10,000; short thick=1,000; long thick= 100)

The maximum flaps-exerted speed corresponds to the high-speed end of the green arc

False

What should the gyroscopic heading indicator be regularly realigned with?

Magnetic compass

What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators?

Maneuvering speed

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?

700-foot increase in indicated altitude

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

Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator.

To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be

periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses

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 the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude

Which color on the airspeed indicator identifies the never-exceed speed?

Red

What steps must be taking 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

You are departing from an airport where you can not obtain an altimeter setting. You should:

Set the altimeter to read zero

What is the difference between true north and magnetic north at any point on earth called?

Variation

What is pressure altitude?

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

If the current altimeter setting is set in the pressure window, what will the altimeter indicate when the airplane is on the runway?

True altitude

Slip or skid is indicated on which instrument?

Turn coordinator

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

When standard atmospheric conditions exist.

Which color on the airspeed indicator identifies the caution airspeed range of an airplane?

Yellow

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by...

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft

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
