If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?
The elevation of the departure airport
Prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to which altitude of altimeter setting?
The current local altimeter setting, if available, or the departure airport elevation.
At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92, when climbing to crushing flight level?
18,000 MSL
Altimeter setting is the value of 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 condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
In colder than standard air temperature
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 condition 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 change occurs?
700 foot increase in the indicated altitude
Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?
Then standard atmospheric conditions exist
Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?
At standard temperature
Of a flight is made from an area of low pressure into am area of high pressure with out 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 lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate
Higher than the actual altitude above sea level
Which condition 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 ft
(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 2 indicates
14,500 ft
(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 3 indicates
9,500 ft
(Refer to Figure 3.) Which altimeter(s) indicate more than 10,000 feet?
1 and 2 only
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 bank from an attitude indicator such as the one illustrated?
By the relationship of the miniature plane (c) to the deflected 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
Deviation 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 is
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 decelerating 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 faster rate than it is actually occurring
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerating or deceleration, 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
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight
In the Northern Hemisphere, if a glider is accelerated of decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate
correctly only when on a north or south heading.
