JEPPESEN PRIVATE PILOT 2026 TEST QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Assuming that all other variables remain constant, what effect does a decrease in
temperature have on atmospheric pressure? - ✔✔Atmospheric pressure decreases
✔✔Which flight instrument uses both pitot and static pressures? - ✔✔Airspeed indicator
✔✔The static port senses what type of pressure? - ✔✔Atmospheric
✔✔Which color arc on the airspeed indicator indicates the speed range in which you will
fly most of the time? - ✔✔Green
✔✔Which of these V-speeds is not marked on the airspeed indicator? - ✔✔VA
✔✔What corrections are applied to calibrated airspeed to determine true airspeed? -
✔✔Altitude and temperatures
✔✔Below what altitude do some altimeters display a crosshatched area? - ✔✔10,000
feet MSL
✔✔What type of altitude does the altimeter display? - ✔✔Indicated
✔✔There are a variety of situations that can occur that would give a false altitude
indication. What are three indications? - ✔✔Failing to keep the altimeter set to the local
altimeter setting, flying from high pressure to low pressure, and monitoring the
temperature
✔✔In most cases where can you obtain altimeter setting information? - ✔✔From the
nearest reporting station
, ✔✔When your fly into an area of higher pressure and the aircraft's altimeter setting is
set to lower than the local altimeter setting - ✔✔true altitude will be higher than
indicated altitude
✔✔How do temperature variations affect true altitude? - ✔✔At a warmer temperature,
indicated altitude is lower than true altitude.
✔✔What is an immediate increase or decrease in an aircrafts's rate of climb or descent
called? - ✔✔Trend
✔✔What usually indicates a blocked pitot tube, static port, or both? - ✔✔Incorrect pitot-
static instrument readings
✔✔What might cause the indicated airspeed to vary with a change in altitude? - ✔✔The
pitot system becomes completely blocked, but the static system remains clear
✔✔What instrument would continually indicate zero when a static system blockage
occurs? - ✔✔Vertical Speed indicator
✔✔Where does the spinning gyro display the aircraft movement that it senses -
✔✔Instrument faces
✔✔What is it meant by rigidity in space? - ✔✔The principle that a wheel with a heavily
weighted rim spun rapidly will remain in a fixed position in the plane in which it is
spinning
✔✔What does precession cause? - ✔✔Slow instrument drifting and minor erroneous
indications
✔✔What are the two basic components of the turn coordinator? - ✔✔Indicator and
inclinometer
✔✔How do you correct slip or skid? - ✔✔Center the balls by varying the angle of bank
or applying rudder pressure, or a combination of both actions.
✔✔What should you cross check to confirm a failed attitude indicator - ✔✔Cross check
the attitude with outside visual reference and other flight instruments
✔✔What is the purpose of the heading indicator - ✔✔It is the primary source of heading
informations
✔✔What what other instrument must you periodically align the heading indicator -
✔✔Magnetic compass
