Flight Instruments (1-15)

1. (3392)- Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?

• A- In colder than standard air temperature.

• B- In warmer than standard air temperature.

• C- When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude.

2. (3256)- What is true altitude?

• A- The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.

• B- The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface.

• C- The height above the standard datum plane.

3. (3281)- In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normaly 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.

4. (3266)- (Refer to Figure 4.) What is the caution range of the airplane?

• A- 0 to 60 knots.

• B- 100 to 165 knots.

• C- 165 to 208 knots.

5. (3283)- In the Northen Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when

• A- a left turn is entered from an east heading.

• B- a right turn is entered from a west heading.

• C- the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.

6. (3389)- Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

• A- At sea level, when the temperature is 0°F.

• B- When the altimeter has no installation error.

• C- At standard temperature.

(3273)- (Refer to Figure 4.) What is the maximum structural cruising speed?

• A- 100 knots.

• B- 165 knots.

• C- 208 knots.

8. (3282)- In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

• A- an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading.

• B- a left turn is entered from a west heading.

• C- an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.

9. (3276)- (Refer to Figure 6.) To recieve accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be

• A- set prior to flight on a known heading.

• B- calibrated on a compass rose at regular intervals.

• C- periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses.

10. (3276.1)- The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is

• A- magnetic deviation.

• B- magnetic variation.

• C- compass accelration error.
