Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged?
airspeed
Which instruments(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?
airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed
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
Which V-speed represents maneuvering speed?
V(a)
What does the red line on airspeed indicator represent?
never exceed speed
At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92, when climbing to cruising flight level?
18,000 ft 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
Which color identifies the never exceed speed?
the red radial line
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed in a specified configuration?
lower limit of the green arc
Which would provide the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest distance during climb after takeoff?
V(x)
What is the caution range of the airplane?
165 to 208 MPH
After takeoff, which airspeed would the pilot use to gain the most altitude in a given period of time?
V(y)
V(SO) is defined as
stalling speed or minimum flight speed in the landing configuration
What is the full full flap operating range for the airplane?
60 to 100 MPH
Vno is defined as the...
Maximum structural cruising speed
The maximum speed at which the airplane can be operated in smooth air is
208 MPH
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 the maximum flaps extended speed?
100 MPH
What is true altitude?
the vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level
Which color identifies the normal flap operating range?
the white arc
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
in colder than standard air temperature
Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed with wing flaps and landing gear in the landing configuration?
lower limit of the white arc
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 indicated altitude
A turn coordinator provides an indication of the
movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axis
Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?
when the standard atmospheric conditions exist
Under what condition is the pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?
at standard temperature
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 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 lower altitude than true altitude?
air temperature warmer than standard
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
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
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass, will normally indicate a turn toward the true north if
an aircraft is accelerate 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 faster rate than is actually occurring
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
only in a straight and level unaccelerated flight
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
