Vno is defined as the...

Maximum structural cruising speed.

Vso is defined as the

stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration.

What is the caution range of the airplane

165 to 208 knots

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

The elevation of the departure area

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

At which altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92 when climbing to cruising flight level

18,000 feet MSL

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

How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter?

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

What is true altitude?

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.

Under what conditions will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude

In colder than standard air temperatures

What is absolute altitude

The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface

What is density altitude?

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.

What is pressure altitude?

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

Under what conditions is indicated altitude the same as true altitude

When at sea level under standard conditions

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85 what changes occurs

700 foot increase in indicated altitude

Under which conditions will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude

When standard atmospheric conditions exist

Under which conditions is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value

At standard temperatures

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

If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of low pressure without the altimeter being adjusted the altimeter will indicate

Higher than actual altitude above sea level

Which conditions would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude

Air temperature warmer than standard

(Refer to figure 3) altimeter 1 indicates

10,500 feet

( refer to figure 3) altimeter 2 indicates

14,500 feet

(Refer to figure 3) altimeter 3 indicates

9,500 feet

(Refer to figure 3) which altimeter(s) indicate(s) more than 10,000 feet

1 and 2 only

( Refer to figure 82) altimeter 3 is indicating a VFR cruising altitude for which direction

080 magnetic

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

(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 deflection horizon bar (b)

(Refer to figure 5) a turn coordinator provides an indication of the

Movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axis

(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 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

Deviations 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

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

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

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

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 fast rate than is actually occurring

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

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 initially a turn toward the east if

A left turn is entered from a north heading

Durning flight when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate

Only in straight and level unaccelerated flight
