For Question 61 select "B", "C" or "D" ("A" is selected only as an example)!
61. What is absolute altitude?
A) Select a correct answer below. B) The altitude read directly from the altimeter. C) The vertical distance of the aircraft above the surface. D) The height above the standard datum plane.
62. (Refer to figure 7 below.) The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the:
A) horizon bar to the level-flight indication. B) horizon bar to the minature airplane. C) miniature airplane to the horizon bar. D) All of the above.
63. (Refer to figure 7 above.) 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). D) None of the above.
64. 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. D) All of the above.
65. In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if:
A) a left turn is entered froma north heading. B) a right turn is entered from a north heading. C) an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading. D) None of the above.
66. Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the:
A) presence of flaws in the permanent magnets of the compass. B) difference in the location between true north adn magnetic north. C) magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force. D) All of the above.
67. 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 exceet 18 degrees. D) None of the above.
68. 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. D) All of the above.
69. (Refer to figure 6 below.) To receive accurate indications during flight from a heading indicator, the instrument must be:
A) set prior to flight on a known heading. B) calibrated on a compass rose at regular intervals. C) periodically realigned with the magnetic compass as the gryo precesses. D) None of the above.
70. (Refer to figure 5 below.) A turn coordinator provides an indication of the:
A) movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axis. B) angle of bank up to but not exceeding 30 degrees. C) attitude of the aircraft with reference to the longitudianl axis. D) All of the above.
