Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by
A. a northerly turning error.
B. certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.
C. the difference in location of true north and magnetic north.
certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.
Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass?
A. Deviation is the same for all aircraft in the same locality.
B. Deviation varies for different headings of the same aircraft.
C. Deviation is different in a given aircraft in different localities.
Deviation varies for different headings of the same aircraft.
In the Northern Hemisphere, which would be correct about starting the rollout from a turn using a magnetic compass?
Start the rollout
A. after the compass indication passes south by a number of degrees approximately equal to the latitude minus the
normal rollout lead.
B. before the compass indication reaches south by a number of degrees approximately equal to the latitude over which
the turn is made plus the pilot's normal lead.
C. after the compass indication passes south by a number of degrees approximately equal to the magnetic variation of
the area over which the turn is made plus the pilot's normal lead.
after the compass indication passes south by a number of degrees approximately equal to the latitude minus the normal
rollout lead.
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
an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate
A. a turn momentarily, with changes in airspeed on any heading.
B. a turn toward the south while accelerating on a west heading.
C. correctly when on a north or south heading while either accelerating or decelerating.
correctly when on a north or south heading while either accelerating or decelerating.
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?
A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.

B. The compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
C. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the airplane.
The compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
Which instrument would be affected by excessively low pressure in the airplane's vacuum system?
A. Heading indicator.
B. Airspeed indicator.
C. Pressure altimeter.
Heading indicator.
Pitot-static system errors are generally the greatest in which range of airspeed?
A. Low airspeed.
B. High airspeed.
C. Maneuvering speed.
Low airspeed.
If both the ram-air input and drain hole of the pitot system are blocked, what airspeed indication can be expected?
A. Decrease of indicated airspeed during a climb
B. Zero indicated airspeed until blockage is removed
C. No variation of indicated airspeed in level flight even if large power changes are made.
No variation of indicated airspeed in level flight even if large power changes are made.
Prior to starting an engine, you should check the turn-and-slip indicator to determine if the
A. needle indication properly corresponds to the angle of the wings or rotors with the horizon
B. needle is approximately centered and the tube is full of fluid.
C. ball will move freely from one end of the tube to the other when the aircraft is rocked
needle is approximately centered and the tube is full of fluid
The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?
A. Altimeter.
B. Vertical-speed indicator.
C. Airspeed indicator
Airspeed indicator
During power-off stalls with flaps full down, the stall occurs and the pointer on the airspeed indicator shows a speed less
than the minimum limit of the white arc on the indicator. This is most probably due to
A. a low density altitude.
B. a malfunction in the pitot-static system.
C. installation error in the pitot-static system.
installation error in the pitot-static system.

If a pitot tube is clogged, which instrument would be affected?
A. Altimeter.
B. Airspeed indicator.
C. Vertical speed indicator.
Airspeed indicator.
What indications should you observe on the turn-and-slip indicator during taxi?
A. The ball moves freely opposite the turn, and the needle deflects in the direction of the turn.
B. The needle deflects in the direction of the turn, but the ball remains centered.
C. The ball deflects opposite the turn but the needle remains centered.
The ball moves freely opposite the turn, and the needle deflects in the direction of the turn.
What indication should be observed on a turn coordinator during a right turn while taxiing?
A. The miniature aircraft will show a turn to the left and the ball remains centered.
B. The miniature aircraft will show a turn to the right and the ball moves to the left.
C. Both the miniature aircraft and the ball will remain centered.
The miniature aircraft will show a turn to the right and the ball moves to the left.
What indication should be observed on a turn coordinator during a left turn while taxiing?

C. Both the miniature aircraft and the ball will remain centered.
The miniature aircraft will show a turn to the left and the ball moves to the right.
What does the lower limit of the white arc on an airspeed indicator represent?
A. Minimum controllable airspeed with flaps extended.
B. Power-off stall speed in a landing configuration.
C. Power-off stall speed in a specified configuration.
Power-off stall speed in a landing configuration.
What airspeed indicator marking identifies the maximum structural cruising speed of an aircraft?
A. Red radial line.
