Flight Controls & Magnetic Compass (Knowledge)

What is the full flap operating range for the airplane

55 to 100 knots

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

Increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed

The magnetic compass

Is self powered

On a turn from a northerly heading the compass will

Lag behind the airplane

How should flight controls be held while taxiing a tailwheel airplane with a left quartering tailwind

Left aileron down, elevator down

In northern hemisphere, magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward east if

Left turn is entered from a north heading

To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep

Longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion

Extending the flaps

Lowers the stalling speed

The only north seeking instrument in a typical training airplane is

Magnetic Compass

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

Magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

Angular difference between true north and magnetic north is

Magnetic variation

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

Maneuvering speed

Most U.S. built aircraft engine rotate the propeller clockwise, as viewed from the pilots seat, when the aircrafts wheels are on the ground during the takeoff roll, torque reaction causes

More weight to be placed on the left main landing gear

A turn coordinator provides an indication of the

Movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes

What is the maximum structural cruising speed

165 knots

What is the caution range of the airplane

165 to 208 knots

The pitot-static system is a source of pressure for the

1. Altimeter 2. Vertical-speed indicator 3. Airspeed indicator

What is the maximum flaps extended speed

100 knots

The maximum speed at which the airplane can be operated in smooth air is

208 knots

ANDS

Accelerate North Decelerate South

What should be the first action after starting an aircraft engine

Adjust for proper RPM and check for desired indications on the engine gauges

When taxiing with strong quartering tailwinds, which aileron positions should be used?

Aileron down on the side from which wind is blowing

Which aileron position should a pilot normally use when taxiing in strong quartering headwinds

Aileron up on the side form which the wind is blowing

In the northern hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when

Aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading

The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument

Airspeed indicator

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

Airspeed indicator

In northern hemisphere, magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

An aircraft is accelerated while on a east or west heading

Applying carburetor heat will

Enrich the fuel/air mixture

If you land without the use of flaps, approach will be

Faster and shallower

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

At standard temperature

The possibility of carburetor icing exists even when the ambient air temperature is as

High as 70 degrees and the relative humidity is high

Excessively high engine temperatures will

Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

Certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft

For internal cooling, air cooled engines are especially dependent on

Circulation of lubricating oil

On a turn from the south

Compass exaggerates the rate of turn

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

Compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.

On a northerly heading, if a right turn is made toward the east

Compass will initially indicate a turn in the opposite direction or west

At the beginning of a turn from a northerly heading

Compass will show a turn in the opposite direction

Purpose of rudder on an airplane

Control yaw

In Northern hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated/decelerated the magnetic compass will normally indicate

Correctly when on a north/south heading

Generally speaking, the use of carburetor heat tends to

Decrease engine performance

What is one procedure to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating

Enrich the fuel mixture

Magnetic compass inherently seeks

North

No acceleration or deceleration error on a heading of

North or south

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

Only in straight and level unaccelerated flight

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

Periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses

Elevator/Stabilator

Pitch, lateral, longitudinal

Density Altitude

Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

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 wind condition would be most critical when taxiing a nose wheel equipped high wing airplane

Quartering tailwind

Indicated Altitude

Read directly from the altimeter when set to the current barometric pressure setting.

What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb

Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed

Aileron

Roll, longitudinal, lateral

A positive indication on an ammeter

Shows the rate of charge on the battery

Which condition is most favorable to the development of carburetor icing?

Temperature between 20 degrees and 70 degrees and high humidity

If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator

What change occurs in the fuel/air mixture when carburetor heat is applied

The fuel/air mixture becomes richer

An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by

The oil level being too low

True Altitude

The vertical distance of the airplane above sea level; the actual altitude. It is often expressed as feet above mean sea level (MSL); airport, terrain and obstacle elevations on aeronautical charts are true altitudes

One purpose of wing flaps

To enable the pilot to make steeper approaches to a landing without increasing airspeed

When taxiing a tricycle gear equipped airplane with a left quartering tailwind

Use down aileron on the left hand wing and down elevator

When taxiing a tricycle gear equipped airplane into a left quartering headwing

Use up aileron on the left hand wing and neutral elevator

When taxiing a tailwheel airplane into a right quartering headwind

Use up aileron on the right hand wing and up elevator

Pressure Altitude

Vertical distance above the standard datum plane

Absolute Altitude

Vertical distance of an airplane above the terrain, or above ground level

Fuel/air ratio is the ratio between the

Weight of fuel and weight of air entering the cylinder

Under which 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 atmosphere conditions exist

Rudder

Yaw, vertical, directional
