correctly when on a north or south heading.

In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate..

The altitude indicated when the barometric pressure scale is set to 29.92.

What is pressure altitude?

100 knots.

(Refer to Figure 4.) What is the maximum flaps-extended speed?

700-foot increase in indicated altitude.

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs?

10,500 feet.

(Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 1 indicates

080 degrees magnetic.

(Refer to Figure 82.) Altimeter 3 is indicating a VFR cruising altitude for which direction?

Lower limit of the white arc.

(Refer to Figure 4.) Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed with wing flaps and landing gear in the landing configuration?

Air temperature warmer than standard.

Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true altitude?

a left turn is entered from a north heading.

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the east if…

higher than the actual altitude above sea level.

If a flight is made from an area of high pressure into an area of lower pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Airspeed indicator.

The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument?

Airspeed.

Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged?

When at sea level under standard conditions.

Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude?

At standard temperature.

Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value?

V(LE).

Which V-speed represents maximum landing gear extended speed?

The red radial line.

(Refer to Figure 4.) Which marking identifies the never-exceed speed?

true altitude at field elevation.

Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates

The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator.

If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected?

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.

What is true altitude?

The pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature.

What is density altitude?

When standard atmospheric conditions exist.

Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?

lower than the actual altitude above sea level.

If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate

Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.

During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?

maximum structural cruising speed.

V(NO) is defined as the

certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

165 knots

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

The white arc.

(Refer to Figure 4.) Which color identifies the normal flap operating range?

208 knots

(Refer to Figure 4.) The maximum speed at which the airplane can be operated in smooth air is

The elevation of the departure area.

If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot adjust the altimeter?

periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses.

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