COMMERCIAL PILOT - (CH. 3) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS

PREG20080262 Calibrated airspeed is best described as indicated airspeed corrected for. installation and instrument error. instrument error. non-standard temperature.

PREG20080263 True airspeed is best described as calibrated airspeed corrected for. installation or instrument error. non-standard temperature. altitude and non-standard temperature.

PREG20080264 Why should flight speeds above Vne be avoided?. Excessive induced drag will result in structural failure. Design limit load factors may be exceeded, if gusts are encountered. Control effectiveness is so impaired that the aircraft becomes uncontrollable.

PREG20080268 To determine pressure altitude prior to takeoff, the altimeter should be set to. the current altimeter setting. 29.92" Hg and the altimeter indication noted. the field elevation and the pressure reading in the altimeter setting window noted.

PREG20080267 If severe turbulence is encountered during flight, the pilot should reduce the airspeed to. minimum control speed. design-maneuvering speed. maximum structural cruising speed.

PREG20080269 Which is the best technique for minimizing the wing-load factor when flying in severe turbulence?. Change power settings, as necessary, to maintain constant airspeed. Control airspeed with power, maintain wings level, and accept variations of altitude. Set power and trim to obtain an airspeed at or below maneuvering speed, maintain wings level, and accept variations of airspeed and altitude.

PREG20080261 If a standard rate turn is mantained, how long would it take to turn 360°?. 1 minute. 2 minutes. 3 minutes.

PREG20080265 Maximum structural cruising speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be operated during. abrupt maneuvers. normal operations. flight in smooth air.

PREG20080260 What is an advantage of an electric turn coordinator if the airplane has vacuum system for other gyroscopic instruments?. It is a backup in case of vacuum system failure. It is more reliable than the vacuum-driven indicators. It will not tumble as will vacuum-driven turn indicators.

PREG20080266 A pilot is entering an area where significant clear air turbulence has been reported. Which action is appropriate upon encountering the first ripple?. Maintain altitude and airspeed. Adjust airspeed to that recommended for rough air. Enter a shallow climb descent at maneuvering speed.

PREG20080258 Ref. Fig. 5 The vertical line from point D to point G is represented on the airspeed indicator by the maximum speed limit of the. green arc. yellow arc. white arc.

PREG20080259 What is an operational difference between the turn coordinator and the turn-and-slip indicator? The turn coordinator. is always electric; the turn-and-slip indicator is always vacuum-driven. indicates bank angle only; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rate of turn and coordination. indicates roll rate, rate of turn, and coordination; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rate of turn and coordination.

PREG20080250 Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in a specified configuration?. Vs. Vs1. Vso.

PREG20080252 RAP Part 1 defines Vf as. design flap speed. flap operating speed. maximum flap extended speed.

PREG20080253 5016-1 RAP Part 1 defines Vle as. maximum landing gear extended speed. maximum landing gear operating speed. maximum leading edge flaps extended speed.

PREG20080251 Which is the correct symbol for the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable?. Vs. Vs1. Vso.

PREG20080255 Which airspeed would a pilot be unable to identify by the color coding of an airspeed indicator?. The never-exceed speed. The power-off stall speed. The maneuvering speed.

PREG20080256 Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass? Deviation. varies over time as the agonic line shifts. varies for different headings of the same aircraft. is the same for all aircraft in the same locality.

PREG20080257 Name the four fundamentals involved in maneuvering an aircraft. Power, pitch, bank, and trim. Thrust, lift, turns, and glides. Straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.

PREG20080254 What altimeter setting is required when operating an aircraft at 18,000 feet MSL?. Current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route. 29.92" Hg. Altimeter setting at the departure or destination airport.
