IFR Flight Instruments

(Refer to Figure 144.) Which illustration indicates a slipping turn?

• A. 1.
• B. 3.
• C. 2.

While cruising at 160 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 130 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it is proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the

• A. attitude indicator, airspeed, and vertical speed indicate a climb.
• B. vertical speed indication reaches the predetermined rate of climb.
• C. attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 130 knot climb.

If a half standard-rate turn is maintained, how long would it take to turn 135°?

• A. 1 minute.
• B. 1 minute 20 seconds.
• C. 1 minute 30 seconds.

If while in level flight, it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure vented inside the airplane, which of the following variations in instrument indications should the pilot expect?

• A. The altimeter will read lower than normal, airspeed greater than normal, and the VSI will momentarily show a descent.
• B. The altimeter will read higher than normal, airspeed greater than normal, and the VSI will momentarily show a climb.
• C. The altimeter will read lower than normal, airspeed greater than normal, and the VSI will momentarily show a climb and then a descent.

Which instruments, in addition to the attitude indicator, are pitch instruments?

• A. Altimeter and airspeed only.
• B. Altimeter and VSI only.
• C. Altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.

If a standard-rate turn is maintained, how much time would be required to turn to the right from a heading of 090° to a heading of 270°?

• A. 1 minute.
• B. 2 minutes.
• C. 3 minutes.

While cruising at 190 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 160 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it would be proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the

• A. attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 160 knot climb.
• B. attitude indicator, airspeed, and vertical speed indicate a climb.
• C. airspeed indication reaches 160 knots.

What indication should a pilot observe if an airspeed indicator ram air input and drain hole are blocked?

• A. The airspeed indicator will react as an altimeter.
• B. The airspeed indicator will show a decrease with an increase in altitude.
• C. No airspeed indicator change will occur during climbs or descents.

En route at FL 290, the altimeter is set correctly, but not reset to the local altimeter setting of 30.57 inches Hg during descent. If the field elevation is 650 feet and the altimeter is functioning properly, what is the approximate indication upon landing?

• A. 715 feet.
• B. 1,300 feet.
• C. Sea level.

(Refer to Figure 147.) Which is the correct sequence for recovery from the unusual attitude indicated?

• A. Level wings, add power, lower nose, descend to original attitude and heading.
• B. Add power, lower nose, level wings, return to original attitude and heading.
• C. Stop turn by raising right wing and add power at the same time, lower the nose, and return to original attitude and heading.
