FAA test 41

to recieve accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be

periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gyro precesses

What change occurred in the fuel/air mixture when carburetor heat is applied

the fuel/air mixture becomes richer

Which aircraft has the right of way over the other aircraft listed?

glider

with respect to the certification or airmen, which is a class of aircraft

single engine land and sea, multiengine land and sea

In a non FADEC aircraft, an electrical system failure (battery and alternator) occurs during flight. In this situation, you would

experience avionics equipment failure

who may perform preventative maintenance on aircraft and approve it for return for service

private or commercial pilot

If the atmospheric pressure and temperature remain the same, how would an increase in humidity affect takeoff performance?

longer takeoff distance; the air is less dense

what is the maximum structural cruising speed

165 knots

To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep this

longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion

A pilot unintentionally enters a steep diving spiral to the left. What is the first step in recovery from this unusual flight attitude?

reduce power to idle

while cruising at 9,500 feet MSL, the fuel/air mixture is properly adjusted. What will occur if a descent to 4,500 feet MSL is made without readjusting the mixture?

the fuel/air mixture may become excessively lean

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to he right from a south heading in the northern hemisphere?

the compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate that is actually occurring
