Flight Instruments

Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates

• A. calibrated altitude at field elevation.
• B. absolute altitude at field elevation.
• C. true altitude at field elevation.

(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 3 indicates

• A. 9,500 feet.
• B. 10,950 feet.
• C. 15,940 feet.

The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?

• A. Altimeter.
• B. Vertical-speed indicator.
• C. Airspeed indicator.

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

• A. If the altimeter has no mechanical error.
• B. When at sea level under standard conditions.
• C. When at 18,000 feet MSL with the altimeter set at 29.92.

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

• A. a left turn is entered from a west heading.
• B. an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading.
• C. an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.

What is pressure altitude?

• A. The indicated altitude corrected for position and installation error.
• B. The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92.
• C. The indicated altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure.

(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 1 indicates

• A. 500 feet.
• B. 1,500 feet.
• C. 10,500 feet.

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the east if

• A. an aircraft is decelerated while on a south heading.
• B. an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading.
• C. a left turn is entered from a north heading.

What does the red line mean?

• Top "G"
• Unsafe to operate
• Upper Limit
• Never Exceed Speed

What does the lower end of the white band mean?

• Fully extended flap stall speed
• Stall speed
• Maximum stall speed
• Partial flap stall speed
