,Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is
set so the altimeter indicates - ....ANSWER ...-true altitude at field elevation
Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged? -
....ANSWER ...-airspeed
Under what condition is indicated altitude the same as true altitude? -
....ANSWER ...-When at sea level under standard conditions
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

....ANSWER ...-When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value? -
....ANSWER ...-At standard temperature
In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward
the south when - ....ANSWER ...-the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading
The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the
- ....ANSWER ...-miniature airplane to the horizon bar
What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent? - ....ANSWER ...-Never-
exceed speed
Which V-speed represents maximum landing gear extended speed? -

Altimeter 1 indicates - ....ANSWER ...-10,500 feet
V(NO) is defined as the - ....ANSWER ...-maximum structural cruising speed
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
What is density altitude? - ....ANSWER ...-The pressure altitude corrected for
nonstandard temperature
Which marking identifies the never-exceed speed? - ....ANSWER ...-The red radial
line
Which color identifies the normal flap operating range? - ....ANSWER ...-The
white arc
If an altimeter setting is not available before flight, to which altitude should the pilot
adjust the altimeter? - ....ANSWER ...-The elevation of the departure area
What is the full flap operating range for the airplane? - ....ANSWER ...-55 to 100
knots
If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs? -
....ANSWER ...-700-foot increase in indicated altitude
