On the taxi check, the magnetic compass should
A. swing opposite to the direction of turn when turning from north.
B. exhibit the same number of degrees of dip as the latitude.
C. swing freely and indicate known headings. - correct answer. Answer (C) swing
freely and indicate known headings.
When taxiing, the magnetic compass should be checked to make sure that the compass
card is swinging freely and indicating known headings.
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?
A. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into
the turn is smooth.
C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. - correct answer. Answer (B)
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the
turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to the left or right from an east
or west heading, the compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading.
There are no turning errors on turns from east or west headings.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate
turn to the right from an easterly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
,A. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into
the turn is smooth.
B. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.
C. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft. - correct answer. Answer (A) The compass will
indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to the left or right from an east
or west heading, the compass will normally indicate the approximate correct magnetic
heading. Acceleration, not turning, errors are found in east or west headings in the
Northern Hemisphere.
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 indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring.
B. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left. - correct answer. Answer (A)
The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring.
In turns from a southerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, the compass leads the
turn. That is, it indicates a turn in the proper direction but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass when you roll into a standard
rate turn to the left from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring.
C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. - correct answer. Answer (B)
The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
,In turns from a southerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, the compass leads the
turn. That is, it indicates a turn in the proper direction but at a rate faster than the actual
rate.
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?
A. The compass will remain on a westerly heading for a short time, then gradually catch
up to the actual heading of the aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into
the turn is smooth.
C. 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. - correct
answer. Answer (B) The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic
heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to the left or right from an east
or west heading, the compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading.
There are no turning errors on turns from east or west headings.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate
turn to the right from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.
B. The compass will remain on north for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
C. The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring. - correct answer. Answer (A) The compass will initially indicate a turn to the
left.
In turns from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, the compass will initially
indicate a turn to the opposite direction. Then the compass heading will lag behind the
actual heading until the airplane approaches an east or west heading.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate
turn to the left from a west heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into
the turn is smooth.
B. The compass will remain on west for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
, C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. - correct answer. Answer (A)
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the
turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to the left or right from an east
or west heading, the compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading.
Turning errors appear on turns from north or south headings, not east or west.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate
turn to the left from a north heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.
B. The compass will remain on north for a short time, then gradually catch up to the
magnetic heading of the aircraft.
C. The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring. - correct answer. Answer (A) The compass will initially indicate a turn to the
right.
In turns from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere, the compass will initially
indicate a turn to the opposite direction, and the compass heading will lag behind actual
until the airplane approaches an east or west heading.
During flight, if the pitot tube becomes clogged with ice, which of the following
instruments would be affected?
A. The airspeed indicator and the altimeter.
B. The airspeed indicator only.
C. The airspeed indicator, altimeter, and Vertical Speed Indicator. - correct answer.
Answer (B) The airspeed indicator only.
The pitot-static system is a source of pressure for the altimeter, vertical speed indicator,
and airspeed indicator. The pitot tube is connected directly to the airspeed indicator,
and the static vents are connected directly to all three. The pressure of air coming into
the pitot tube (impact air pressure) is compared with the air pressure at the static
system vents to determine airspeed.
If both the ram air input and the drain hole of the pitot system are blocked, what reaction
should you observe on the airspeed indicator when power is applied and a climb is
initiated out of severe icing conditions?
A. The indicated airspeed would show a continuous deceleration while climbing.
