Exam 1 Aviation 62 Instrument Flight Tech – Flashcards

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

If, while in level flight, it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure vented inside the airplane, which of the following variations in instrument indications should the pilot expect?

If the pitot tube ram air pressure hole and drain hole become obstructed, the airspeed indicator will operate?

You check the flight instruments while taxiing and find the vertical speed indicator (VSI) indicates a descent of 100 feet per minute. In this case, you

How should you preflight check the altimeter prior to an IFR flight?

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

At an altitude of 6,500 feet MSL, the current altimeter setting is 30.42" Hg. The pressure altitude would be approximately

During recoveries from unusual attitudes, level flight is attained the instant

What pre-takeoff check should be made of a vacuum-driven heading indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?

What pre-takeoff check should be made of the attitude indicator in preparation for an IFR flight?

When an aircraft is accelerated, some attitude indicators will precess and incorrectly indicate a

What indications are displayed by the miniature aircraft of a turn coordinator?

Which is true of glass cockpits?

The lighter workloads associated with glass (digital) flight instrumentation

If a half-standard-rate turn is maintained, how long would it take to turn 135°?

What is the third fundamental skill in attitude instrument flying?

As power is reduced to change airspeed from high to low cruise in level flight, which instruments are primary for pitch, bank, and power, respectively?

Which instruments are considered primary and supporting for bank, respectively, when establishing a level standard-rate turn?

During standard-rate turns, which instrument is considered "primary" for bank?

Which instruments should be used to make a pitch correction when you have deviated from your assigned altitude?

To enter a constant-airspeed descent from level-cruising flight, and maintain cruising airspeed, the pilot should

As a rule of thumb, to minimize DME slant range error, how far from the facility should you be to consider the reading as accurate?

When the CDI needle is centered during an airborne VOR check, the omni-bearing selector and the TO/FROM indicator should read

What indication should a pilot receive when a VOR station. is undergoing maintenance and may be considered unreliable?

For operations off established/airways at 17,000 feet MSL in the contiguous U.S., (H) Class VORTAC facilities used to define a direct route of flight should be no farther apart than

When using VOR for navigation, which of the following should be considered as station passage?

While in level flight at 90 KTAS you initiate a climb by raising the nose 2-bar widths (as observed on the attitude indicator). What climb rate should you expect to see on the VSI?

Which types of airspace are depicted on the .En Route Low Altitude Chart?

Class G airspace is that airspace where

What are the vertical limits of a transition area that is designated in conjunction with an airport having a prescribed IAP?

The lowest published altitude which meets obstacle clearance requirements and assures acceptable navigational signal coverage is the

in the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area where no other minimum altitude is prescribed, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below an altitude of

Acceptable navigational signal coverage at the MOCA is assured for a distance from the VOR of only

Which rules apply to the pilot in command when operating on a VFR-on-Top clearance?

When operating under IFR with a VFR-On-Top clearance, what altitude should be maintained?

You are flying on an IFR flight plan at 5,500 feet with a VFR-on-top clearance when you encounter icing. You know there is clear air above and you request 9,500 feet from ATC. They deny the request, but give you 7,500 feet. Are you still VFR-on-top?
