  1. The artificial horizon shows a steep tilt with the right wing far below the left and the nose slightly above the horizon. The aircraft is in a:

    Answer: Steep right bank with slight climb

    A large right-wing-low tilt is a steep right bank, and wings slightly above the line indicate a slight climb.

  2. A compass reads 045 degrees. The aircraft is heading toward the:

    Answer: Northeast

    045 degrees is midway between north (360) and east (090), which is northeast.

  3. If the miniature aircraft appears well below the horizon line with wings level, the plane is:

    Answer: In a wings-level dive

    Wings level and below the horizon line means a nose-down, wings-level dive.

  4. An aircraft heading 360 degrees (north) starts a left turn. After turning 90 degrees, its heading is:

    Answer: 270 degrees (west)

    Turning left 90 degrees from north gives a heading of 270, due west.

  5. The horizon line on the attitude indicator is rotated so the left wing is markedly lower and the wings sit on the horizon. The aircraft is:

    Answer: Banking left in level flight

    Left wing lower with wings on the horizon indicates a left bank with no climb or descent.

  6. A compass shows 225 degrees. The aircraft is heading toward the:

    Answer: Southwest

    225 degrees is midway between south (180) and west (270), which is southwest.

  7. The miniature aircraft is above the horizon and tilted with the right wing lower. The plane is:

    Answer: Climbing and banking right

    Above the horizon means climbing, and a lower right wing means a right bank.
