GROUND SCHOOL QUIZ SET
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Pitot-Static System - ANSWER-Operates the altimeter, VSI, and Airspeed indicator.
Pitot icing only effects airspeed indicator. Use pitot heat in icing conditions. Static
icing affects all three instruments. Use alternate static air, to combat static icing.
Airspeed Indicator - ANSWER-White line used for flaps only. Green line used for
cruising speed. Yellow line is caution because speed is too fast.
Magnetic compass errors - ANSWER-Only accurate during straight and level flight.
The difference between installed and uninstalled compasses are called "deviation"
In northern hemisphere "compass erros" - ANSWER-Acceleration errors on east and
west headings. Accelerate north, Decelerate south. ANDS
Turning errors when turning north to south headings: Undershoot north, overshoot
south "UNOS"
GDU 1044B Display units - ANSWER-dual color displays that make up the primary
source of system information. Bezel controls on each are identical. COM and NAV
units can be controlled from either unit.
PFD-Primary flight display - ANSWER-Color display on the left (pilots) side of the
panel. It shows the primary and flight instruments.
MFD- Multi-flight display - ANSWER-Color display on the right side of the panel.
Although it can also show the primary flight and navigation instruments, it is mainly
used to display engine readouts and moving map depictions including aeronautical
symbology, terrain, obstacles, traffic, and optional weather.
Soft Keys - ANSWER-A single row of multi-function buttons across the bottom bezel
of the PFD and MFD. Their current functions are titled directly above the in display.
Audio panel - ANSWER-A conventional audio panel exists between the PFD and
MFD. note the COM 1/2 button is disabled in the Cessna NAV III configuration.
Air data computer-ADC - ANSWER-process signals from the pitot-static system and
provides information for the airspeed indicator tape on the left and the altimeter and
VSI on the right.
Altitude heading reference system. AHRS - ANSWER-Using internal components
including accelrometers, the AHRS provides information on the airplanes attitude
and heading. It replaces the electronic and vacuum systems gyros found in
traditional flight instrument displays.
Magnetometer - ANSWER-Procceses signal from the earths magnetic flux fields and
passes this data to the AHRS. It replaces the conventional wet compass found in
