AERT3200 SU2

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

• varies over time as the agonic line shifts

• varies for different headings of the same aircraft

• it is the same for all aircraft in the same locality.

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

• The never-exceed speed

• The power-off stall speed

• The maneuvering speed

Calibrated airspeed is best described as indicated airspeed corrected for

• installation and instrument error

• instrument error

• non-standard temperature

True airspeed is best described as calibrated airspeed corrected for

• installation of instrument error

• non-standard temperature

• altitude and nonstandard temperature

Structural damage or failure is more likely to occur in smooth air at speeds above

• Vno

• Va

• Vne

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

• It is a backup in case of vacuum system failure

• It is more reliable than the vacuum-driven indicators

• It will not tumble as will vacuum-driven turn coordinators

What is the 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 bank angle only; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rate of turn and coordination

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

You are flying an aircraft equipped with an electronic flight display and the air data computer fails. Which instrument is affected

• ADS-B in capability

• Airspeed indicator

• Attitude indicator

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

• 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

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

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

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

• Situational awareness is increased

• Terrain avoidance is guaranteed
