FAA Private Pilot Written Exam - Questions and Answers If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs? 700-ft increase in
... [Show More] altitude. The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument? Airspeed indicator As altitude increases, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will remain the same regardless of altitude. What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent? The never-exceed speed. Which arc indicates the caution range of the airplane? The yellow arc What indicates the maximum speed at which the airplane can be operated in smooth air? In the yellow arc up to the red line. Which color indicates the never-exceed speed? The red radial line Which identifies the power-off stalling speed? The lower limit of the green arc What is the maximum flaps-extended speed? The upper limit of the white arc Which color identifies the normal flap operating range? The white arc What identifies the power off stalling speed with flaps and gear down? The lower limit of the white arc What is the maximum structural cruising speed? The upper limit of the green arc What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators? Maneuvering speed (found on airplane manual or placards) A turn coordinator provides an indication of the airplanes movement about the yaw and roll axes. The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the miniature airplane to the horizon bar. How should a pilot determine the direction of bank from an attitude indicator? By the relationship of the miniature airplane to the deflected horizon bar. Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the Earth's magnetic lines of force. In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will indicate a turn to the west if a right turn is entered from a northerly heading. In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the East if a left turn is entered from a north heading. In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn to the north if an aircraft is accelerated on an East or West heading. In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will usually indicate a turn to the south when an aircraft is decelerated on an east/west heading. In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will indicate correctly when on a north/south heading. During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate? Only in straight-and-level uncelebrated flight. If the outside air temperature (OAT) at a given altitude is warmer than standard, the density altitude is higher than pressure altitude. What are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level? 15C and 29.92Hg If a pilot changes the altimeter setting from 30.11 to 29.96, what is the approx. change in indication? Altimeter will indicate 150 lower Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude? When standard atmospheric conditions exist Under what conditions are pressure and density altitude [Show Less]
