JEPPESEN INSTRUMENT END OF COURSE EXAM
A FINAL PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH FULL
ANSWERS
◉ How does the Vertical Speed Indicator Work. Answer: Static air
enters into a diaphragm and outside of the diaphragm. The static air
is delayed on the outside. The diaphragm then expands and
contrasts momentarily when the outside and inside static air
pressures or different moving the VSI needle.
◉ How do you check the Airspeed Indicator on the ground?. Answer:
Make sure it reads 0
◉ How do you check the on the Turn Coordinator ground?. Answer:
When turning during a taxi, it should indicate a bank in the direction
of the turn, and the ball should swing outside of the turn.

Straight and level when not moving. Should indicate slight bank (no
more than 5 degrees) in the direction of a turn when taxiing.
◉ How do you check the Heading Indicator on the ground?. Answer:
Set to match the magnetic compass. Should rotate the same way you
turn during taxi
, ◉ How do you check the Altimeter on the ground?. Answer: Once
calibrated with the barometric pressure, should read within 75' of
field elavation
◉ How do you check the VSI on the ground?. Answer: Should read
zero. If it indicated 100 ft/min, use that as 0
◉ What happens if the pitot ram air hole gets clogged?. Answer:
Airspeed indicator will drop to zero
◉ What happens if the pitot ram air hole and drain hole get
clogged?. Answer: The airspeed indicator will act like an altimeter
◉ What happens if the static port gets clogged?. Answer: The
altimeter will freeze, VSI will read zero, the airspeed indicator
becomes inaccurate
◉ What can you do if the static port gets clogged. Answer: Open the
alternate static port if there is one. You can break the glass of the VSI
to get an alternate air source
◉ What happens if the suction gauge reads 0?. Answer: The attitude
indicator and heading indicator will both fail and freeze
