CPL 2

Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass? deviation

• varies for different headings of the same aircraft

• varies over time as the agonic line shifts

• is the same for all aircraft in the same locality

Maximum structural cruising speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be operated during

• normal operations

• flight in smooth air

• abrupt maneuvers

Why should flight speeds above Vne be avoided?

• Excessive induced drag will result in structural failure.

• Control effectiveness is so impaired that the aircraft becomes uncontrollable.

• Design limit load factors may be exceeded, if gusts are encountered.

Which airspeed would a pilot be unable to identift by the color coding of an airspeed indicator?

• Maneuvering speed

• Power-off stall speed

• Never-exceed speed

Calibrated airspeed is best described as indicated airspeed corrected for

• Non-standard temperature

• Installation and instrument error

• Instrument error

True airspeed is best described as calibrated airspeed corrected for

• Altitude and non-standard temperature

• Installation or instrument error

• Non-standard temperature

What is an advantage of an electric turn coordinator if the airplane has a vacuum system for other gyroscopic instruments?

• It is more reliable than vacuum-driven indicators.

• It is a backup in case of vacuum system failure.

• It will not tumble as will vacuum-driven turn indicators.

What is an operational difference between the turn coordinator and the turn-and-slip indicator? The turn coordinator

• Is always electric; the turn-and-slip indicator is always vacuum-driven.

• Indicates roll rate, rate of turn and coordination; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rate of turn and coordination

• Indicates bank angle only; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rates of turn and coordination.

Fouling of spark plugs is more apt to occur if the aircraft

• descends from altitude with no mixture adjustment

• throttle is advanced very abruptly

• gains altitude with no mixture adjustment

What will occur if no leaning is made with the mixture control as the flight altitude increases?

• The volume of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel decreases

• The density of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel remains constant.

• The density of air entering the carburetor decreases and the amount of fuel increases.
