Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

When standard atmospheric conditions exist

When the atmospheric pressure is 29.92" Hg

When indicated altitude is equal to the pressure altitude.

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

Altimeter will indicate 150 feet higher

Altimeter will indicate .15" Hg higher

How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter?

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

Higher temperatures expand the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is higher than true altitude

Lower temperatures lower the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude

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

a left turn is entered from an east heading

a right turn is entered from a west heading

The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the

miniature airplane to the horizon bar

horizon bar to the miniature airplane

horizon bar to the level-flight indication

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

lower than the actual altitude above sea level

the actual altitude above sea level

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

Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight

During turns if the bank does not exceed 18°

As long as the airspeed is constant

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

higher than the actual altitude above sea leve

the actual altitude above sea level

Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?

In colder than standard air temperature

When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude

In warmer than standard air temperature

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force

presence of flaws in the permanent magnets of the compass

difference in the location between true north and magnetic north

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?

700-foot increase in indicated altitude

70-foot increase in density altitude

70-foot increase in indicated altitude

What is pressure altitude?

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

The indicated altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure

The indicated altitude corrected for position and installation error

What is density altitude?

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature

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 deflected horizon bar (B)

By the direction of deflection of the banking scale (A).

By the direction of deflection of the horizon bar (B)

A turn coordinator provides an indication of the

movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes

attitude of the aircraft with reference to the longitudinal axis

angle of bank up to but not exceeding 30°

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

When at sea level under standard conditions

If the altimeter has no mechanical error

When at 18,000 feet MSL with the altimeter set at 29.92

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft

the difference in location of true north and magnetic north

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

What steps must be taken when flying in glass flight decks to ensure safe flight?

Regularly scan both inside and outside, use all appropriate checklists, and cross-check with other forms of information

Use the moving map for primary means of navigation, use the MFD to check engine systems and weather, back up with supplementary forms of information

Regularly scan each item on the PFD, confirm on the MFD

An aircraft which is equipped with an Electronic Flight Display (EFD) can

offer new capabilities and simplify the basic flying task

improve flight awareness by allowing the pilot to simply watch for alerts

compensate for an airman’s lack of skill or knowledge

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

When the altimeter has no installation error

At sea level, when the temperature is 0°F

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

periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses

calibrated on a compass rose at regular intervals

set prior to flight on a known heading

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

Air temperature warmer than standard

Atmospheric pressure lower than standard

Air temperature lower than standard

What is a benefit of flying with a glass flight deck?

Situational awareness is increased

Terrain avoidance is guaranteed

There is no longer a need to carry paper charts in flight

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

a left turn is entered from a west heading

an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading
