Review Instrument Ground

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from an east heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.

• The compass will remain on east for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft.

• The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a westerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• The compass will initially show a turn in the opposite direction, then turn to a northerly indication but lagging behind the actual heading of the aircraft.

• The compass will remain on a westerly heading for a short time, then gradually catch up to the actual heading of the aircraft.

• The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.

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.

• The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.

• The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading.

What would be the indication on the VSI during entry into a 500 FPM actual descent from level flight if the static ports were iced over?

• The indication would be in reverse of the actual rate of descent (500 FPM climb).

• The initial indication would be a climb, then descent at a rate in excess of 500 FPM.

• The VSI pointer would remain at zero regardless of the actual rate of descent.

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

• At standard temperature.

• When the altimeter setting is 29.92" Hg.

• When indicated, and pressure altitudes are the same value on the altimeter.

Which practical test should be made on the electric gyro instruments prior to starting an engine?

• Check that the electrical connections are secure on the back of the instruments.

• Check that the attitude of the miniature aircraft is wings level before turning on electrical power.

• Turn on the electrical power and listen for any unusual or irregular mechanical noise.

What indications should you observe on the turn-and-slip indicator during taxi?

• The ball moves freely opposite the turn, and the needle deflects in the direction of the turn.

• The needle deflects in the direction of the turn, but the ball remains centered.

• The ball deflects opposite the turn, but the needle remains centered.

The displacement of a turn coordinator during a coordinated turn will

• indicate the angle of bank.

• remain constant for a given bank regardless of airspeed.

• increase as angle of bank increases.

The lighter workloads associated with glass panel flight deck instrumentation

• are instrumental in decreasing flightcrew fatigue.

• have proven to increase safety in operations.

• may lead to complacency by the flightcrew.
