FAA Flight Instrument Test 2

Question 1

How should a pilot determine the direction of bank from an attitude indicator such as the one illustrated?

Accepted Answer

By the relationship of the miniature airplane (C) to the deflected horizon bar (B).

Answer

By the direction of deflection of the banking scale (A).

Answer

By the direction of deflection of the horizon bar (B).

Question 2

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

Accepted Answer

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force.

Answer

presence of flaws in the permanent magnets of the compass.

Answer

difference in the location between true north and magnetic north.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

a right turn is entered from a north heading.

Answer

a left turn is entered from a north heading.

Answer

an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

a left turn is entered from a north heading.

Answer

an aircraft is decelerated while on a south heading.

Answer

an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading.

Question 5

In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if

Accepted Answer

an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.

Answer

a left turn is entered from a west heading.

Answer

an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading.

Question 6

In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when

Accepted Answer

the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.

Answer

a left turn is entered from an east heading.

Answer

a right turn is entered from a west heading.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

correctly when on a north or south heading.

Answer

a turn momentarily.

Answer

a turn toward the south.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.

Answer

As long as the airspeed is constant.

Answer

During turns if the bank does not exceed 18°.

Question 9

If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approximate change in indication?

Accepted Answer

Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower.

Answer

Altimeter will indicate .15 inches Hg higher.

Answer

Altimeter will indicate 150 feet higher.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

lower than the actual altitude above sea level.

Answer

the actual altitude above sea level.

Answer

higher than the actual altitude above sea level.
