If a 180° steep turn is made to the right and the aircraft is rolled out to straight-and-level flight by visual references, the attitude indicator. Should immediately show straight-and-level flight. Will show a slight skid and climb to the right. May show a slight climb and turn.

As a rule of thumb, altitude corrections of less than 100 feet should be corrected by using a. Full bar width on the attitude indicator. Half bar width on the attitude indicator. Two bar width on the attitude indicator.

Which condition during taxi is an indication that an attitude indicator is unreliable?. The horizon bar tilts more than 5° while making taxi turns. The horizon bar vibrates during warmup. The horizon bar does not align itself with the miniature airplane after warmup.

What pretakeoff check should be made of the attitude indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?. The horizon bar does not vibrate during warmup. The miniature airplane should erect and become stable within 5 minutes. The horizon bar should erect and become stable within 5 minutes.

During normal coordinated turns, what error due to precession should you observe when rolling out to straight-and-level flight from a 180° steep turn to the right?. A straight-and-level coordinated flight indication. The miniature aircraft would show a slight turn indication to the left. The miniature aircraft would show a slight descent and wings-level attitude.

Errors in both pitch and bank indication on an attitude indicator are usually at a maximum as the aircraft rolls out of a. 180° turn. 270° turn. 360° turn.

When an aircraft is accelerated, some attitude indicators will precess and incorrectly indicate a. Climb. Descent. Right turn.

When an aircraft is decelerated, some attitude indicators will precess and incorrectly indicate a. Lefft turn. Climb. Descent.

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. Attitude indicator, airspeed, and vertical speed indicate a climb. Vertical speed indication reaches the predetermined rate of climb. Attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 130-knot climb.

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.
