which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged?



A) Airspeed indicator only.

B) Altimeter only.

C) Airspeed indicator, altimeter and vertical speed indicator. - C) Airspeed indicator, altimeter and
vertical speed indicator.



The pitot static system is a source of air pressure for the operation of the altimeter, airspeed indicator,
and vertical speed indicator. Thus if the static vents become clogged, all these instruments will be
affected.



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



In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south if an
airplane is decelerated while on a east or west heading.




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 and magnetic north

,C) magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force. - C) magnetic fields
within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force.



Magnetic fields produced by metals and electrical accessories in the airplane disturb the compass needle
and produce errors, These errors are referred to as compass deviation.



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



During flight, the magnetic compass indications can be considered accurate only when in straight and
level, unaccelerated flight. During acceleration, deceleration or turns, the compass card will dip and
cause false readings



Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by



A) a northerly turning error.

B) certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.

C) the difference in location of true north and magnetic north - B) certain metals and electrical
systems within the aircraft.



The compass in an airplane will align with any magnetic field, Magnetic fields created by metals and the
electrical system of the aircraft will hinder the ability of the compass to align with the earth's magnetic
field, This phenomenon is known as deviation. Since deviation error varies by heading, a compass
correction card is fitted, providing the pilot with the deviation for a given heading



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. - B) correctly when on a north or south heading.



Acceleration and deceleration errors on a magnetic compasses do not occur when on a north or south
heading in the northern Hemisphere. They occur on east and west headings.



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



A) an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading

B) a left turn is entered from a west heading.

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



In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if an
airplane is accelerated while on an east or west heading.



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



A) a left turn is entered form a north heading.

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

C) an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading. - B) a right turn is entered from a north
heading.



Due to the northerly turn error in the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will initially indicate a
turn toward the west if a right (east) turn is entered from a north heading.



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.
