P ATG Gyro and compass

You are on a cross country flight in the southern hemisphere and your gyro suction pump fails, the indicator
is indicating zero, what instruments are affected?

A/H and DI;


A/H,DI and Turn co-ordinator;
Turn co-ordinator.

Theory Low A 1

Deviation is:

the angular difference between True North and Magnetic North


magnetic compass error because of the compass not being mounted properly inside the aircraft
magnetic disturbances within an aircraft that deflect the magnetic compass away from Magnetic north.

Theory Medium C 1

It is true to say about magnetic deviation of a compass that:

deviation is constant all the time


deviation is the same for all aircraft
deviation varies for different headings of the same aircraft

Theory Medium C 1

Magnetic compass deviation is caused by:

magnetic attractions in the aircraft


acceleration and deceleration of the aircraft
vertical component of the earth's magnetic field

Theory Medium A 1

An air driven DGI has partially blocked filters. This will cause the gyros to:

Turn too rapidly


Turn too slowly
Turn to the North or South depending on the hemisphere

Theory High B 1

What errors does the magnetic compass have on East and West headings?
Acceleration/Deceleration errors;
Turning errors;
Both of the above.

Theory High A 1

The deviation error of a magnetic compass varies with the:

aircraft heading and electrical systems in use


it does not vary and is the same for all aircraft
geographic location of the aircraft

Theory High A 1
