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.

turn to the left.

when power is applied and a climb is initiated out of severe icing
, conditions? - ANSWER-No change until an actual climb rate is
established, then indicated airspeed will increase.

input and drain hole are blocked? - ANSWER-The airspeed indicator will

during an IFR flight in Class E airspace below 18,000 feet? - ANSWER-
ATC periodically advises the pilot of the proper altimeter setting.

maintaining FL 210? - ANSWER-Pressure.
22. What is the procedure for setting the altimeter when assigned an
IFR altitude of 18,000 feet or higher on a direct flight off airways? -
ANSWER-Set the altimeter to the current reported setting for climb-out
and 29.92" Hg upon reaching 18,000 feet.

setting of 28.92" Hg in your area. At what pressure altitude are you
flying? - ANSWER-25,000 feet.

elevation is 650 feet and the altimeter is functioning properly, whatis
the approximate indication upon landing? - ANSWER-Sea level.
25. En route at FL 290, your altimeter is set correctly, but you fail to
reset it to the local altimeter setting of 30.26 in. Hg during descent. If
the field elevation is 134 feet and your altimeter is functioning
properly, what will it indicate after landing? - ANSWER-206 feet below
MSL.

altitude with an altimeter setting of 29.92" Hg? - ANSWER-In colder
than standard air temperature.
27. When an altimeter is changed from 30.11" Hg to 29.96" Hg, in
which direction will the indicated altitude change and by what value? -
ANSWER-Altimeter will indicate 150 feet lower.
28. Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower
altitude than actually flown (true altitude)? - ANSWER-Air temperature
warmer than standard.
29. Which practical test should be made on the electric gyro
instruments prior to starting an engine? - ANSWER-Turn on the
electrical power and listen for any unusual or irregular mechanical
noise.

for operation is the - ANSWER-Resistance to deflection of the spinning
wheel or disc.
