IR CAAP EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
1. On the taxi check, the magnetic compass should
A. swing opposite to the direction of turn when turning from
north.
B. exhibit the same number of degrees of dip as the
latitude.
C. swing freely and indicate known headings. - ANSWER-
Answer (C) swing freely and indicate known headings.
When taxiing, the magnetic compass should be checked to
make sure that the compass card is swinging freely and
indicating known headings.
2. What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you
roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from an east heading in
the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the
aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate the approximate correct
magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
, C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. -
ANSWER-Answer (B) The compass will indicate the
approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the
turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to
the left or right from an east or west heading, the compass will
indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading. There are
no turning errors on turns from east or west headings.
3. 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?
A. The compass will indicate the approximate correct
magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
B. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.
C. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the
aircraft. - ANSWER-Answer (A) The compass will indicate
the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into
the turn is smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to
the left or right from an east or west heading, the compass will
normally indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading.
Acceleration, not turning, errors are found in east or west
headings in the Northern Hemisphere.
,4. 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 indicate a turn to the right, but at a
faster rate than is actually occurring.
B. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the
aircraft.
C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left. -
ANSWER-Answer (A) The compass will indicate a turn to
the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
In turns from a southerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere,
the compass leads the turn. That is, it indicates a turn in the
proper direction but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
5. What should be the indication on the magnetic compass when
you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a south heading
in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then
gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the
aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a
faster rate than is actually occurring.
, C. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right. -
ANSWER-Answer (B) The compass will indicate a turn to
the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
In turns from a southerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere,
the compass leads the turn. That is, it indicates a turn in the
proper direction but at a rate faster than the actual rate.
6. What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you
roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a westerly heading
in the Northern Hemisphere?
A. The compass will remain on a westerly heading for a
short time, then gradually catch up to the actual heading
of the aircraft.
B. The compass will indicate the approximate correct
magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
C. The compass will initially show a turn in the opposite
direction, then turn to a northerly indication but lagging
behind the actual heading of the aircraft. - ANSWER-
Answer (B) The compass will indicate the approximate
correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is
smooth.
If you roll into a smooth, coordinated, standard-rate turn to
the left or right from an east or west heading, the compass will
indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading. There are
no turning errors on turns from east or west headings.
