FAA Flight Instrument Test 2 - Practice Test Geeks

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

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

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

B. a right turn is entered from a north heading.

C. an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. an aircraft is decelerated while on a south heading.

B. an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading.

C. a left turn is entered from a north heading.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. a left turn is entered from a west heading.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. a left turn is entered from an east heading.

B. a right turn is entered from a west heading.

C. the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. a turn momentarily.

B. correctly when on a north or south heading.

C. a turn toward the south.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.

B. As long as the airspeed is constant.

C. During turns if the bank does not exceed 18°.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. Altimeter will indicate .15 inches Hg higher.

B. Altimeter will indicate 150 feet higher.

C. Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. the actual altitude above sea level.

B. higher than the actual altitude above sea level.

C. lower than the actual altitude above sea level.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. lower than the actual altitude above sea level.

B. higher than the actual altitude above sea level.

C. the actual altitude above sea level.

Correct! Wrong!

Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?

A. In colder than standard air temperature.

B. In warmer than standard air temperature.

C. When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. Air temperature lower than standard.

B. Atmospheric pressure lower than standard.

C. Air temperature warmer than standard.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.

B. The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.

C. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the airplane.

Correct! Wrong!

Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

A. northerly turning error.

B. certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

C. the difference in location of true north and magnetic north.

Correct! Wrong!

What is an advantage of an attitude indicator that is displayed digitally?

A. It is more sensitive than the analog instrument.

B. The indicator can be moved to any place around the PFD.

C. The horizon line extends all the way to the edges of the PFD.

Correct! Wrong!

The Air Data Computer or ADC

A. gathers pressure information from spinning gyros.

B. combines data from the pitot-static sensors and temperature sensors.

C. receives input from the airspeed and altitude indicators.

Correct! Wrong!

Glass cockpit aircraft refer to

A. those with GPS with moving map display and an autopilot.

B. generally an aircraft with digital instrumentation exclusively.

C. aircraft with both digital and limited number of analog instruments.

Correct! Wrong!

What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous attitude of impulsivity?

A. Do it quickly to get it over with.

B. It could happen to me.

C. Not so fast, think first.

Correct! Wrong!
