King School Flight Course Questions
and Answers
how do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - ANSWER-Pressure levels
are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude? - ANSWER-in
colder than standard air temperature
Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true
altitude? - ANSWER-Air temperature warmer than standard
What is an advantage of an altitude indicator that is displayed digitally? - ANSWER-
The horizon line extends all the way to the edges of the PFD
The Air Data Computer (ADC) does what? - ANSWER-Combines information
received by temperature and pilot sensors. The data is accurately depicted for
altitude and indicated airspeed.
During flight, when are the indicators of a magnetic compass accurate? - ANSWER-
When the aircraft is in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight
In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward
the north if - ANSWER-the airplane is accelerated on an east or west heading - this
is because of the downward pull of the Earth's magnetic field.
In the northern hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward
the south if - ANSWER-the airplane is decelerated on a west heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated of decelerated, the magnetic
compass will normally indicate - ANSWER-correctly when on a north or south
heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn
toward the west if - ANSWER-A right turn is entered from a north heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn
toward the east if - ANSWER-A left 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? - ANSWER-
The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually
occurring.
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the - ANSWER-aircraft metals or
electrical equipment distort the Earth's lines of magnetic force within the aircraft and
cause the compass to "deviate" from an accurate reading
, Deviate error of the magnetic compass is caused by - ANSWER-aircraft metals or
electrical equipment distort the Earth's lines of magnetic force within the aircraft and
cause the compass to "deviate" from an accurate reading
(figure 27) An aircraft departs an airport in the eastern daylight time zone at 0945
EDT for a 2-hour flight to an airport located in the central daylight time zone. The
landing should be at what coordinated universal time? - ANSWER-Convert EDT to
UTC -> add flight time
0945 - Convert -> 1345 - +200 -> 1545
What is true about longitude and lattitude - ANSWER-Line of longitude cross the
Equator at right angles
A military air station can be identified by a rotating beacon that emits - ANSWER-two
quick white flashes between green flashes
What is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on
Sectional Aeronautical Charts? - ANSWER-Airports with control towers underlying
Class B,C,D, and E airspace are shown in blue
The caution box denotes what hazard to aircraft? - ANSWER-Unmarked balloon on
cable to 3,008 feet MSL.
The flag symbol at Lake Drummond represents a - - ANSWER-Visual checkpoint
used to identify position for initial callup to Norfolk Approach Control
(refer to figure 21) The terrain elevation of the light tan area between Minot (area 1)
and Audobon Lake (area 2) varies from - ANSWER-2,000 ft to 2,500 feet MSL
Automatic Terminal Information (ATIS) is the continuous broadcast of recorded
information concerning - ANSWER-noncontrol information in selected high-activity
areas
Absence of the sky condition and visibility on the ATIS broadcast indicates that -
ANSWER-the ceiling is at least 5000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or miles
When flying HAWK N66CB, the proper phraseology for initial contact with McAlester
AFSS is - ANSWER-MC ALESTER RADIO, HAWK SIX SIX CHARLIE BRAVO,
RECEIVING ARDMORE VORTAC, OVER.
What is the recommended communications procedure for a landing at Currituck
County Airport? - ANSWER-Transmit intentions on 122.9 MHz when 10 miles out
and give position reports on the traffic pattern
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should - ANSWER-contact the local
FSS for airport and traffic advisories
