What is true about the heading indicator?
The pilot should check the heading indicator against the magnetic compass at least
every 15 minutes to assure accuracy.
By simply turning the heading indicator knob at the bottom of the instrument to set
the compass card to the correct magnetic heading.
The heading indicator is an important aid because the compass is subject to errors
caused by acceleration, deceleration, and the curvature of the earth's magnetic field.
Red line markings are used to

could endanger the engine or airframe.

Which statements are correct about the inclinometer?
Coordinated flight is maintained by keeping the ball centered.
In a slip, the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank, and the ball moves to the
outside of the turn.
In skid, the rate of turn is too slow for the angle of bank, and the ball moves to the
inside of the turn.
It provides a pilot with a digital readout on the amount of fuel used, fuel
remaining, current rate of fuel consumption, and the time remaining for flight at
the current power setting.

manufacturer.

Precession of a gyroscopic instrument is best described as?
When an outside force tries to tilt a spinning gyro, the gyro responds as if the force
had been applied at a point 90 degrees further around in the direction of rotation.
Is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.
The slow movement of the axis of a spinning body around another axis due to a
torque acting to change the direction of the first axis.
Yellow arc markings are used to

spun at a high speed, the wheel demonstrated the strange characteristic of
remaining rigid in the plane in which it was spinning.

Which statements best describe the turn-and-slip indicator.
U i t ll d th t dl t h th di ti d t f ll
Uses a pointer, called the turn needle, to show the direction and rate of roll.
Rotates in the vertical plane, corresponding to the airplane’s horizontal axis.

it to center.

manufacturer.
Blue arc marking can only be seen on certain engine instruments such as:
manifold pressure gauge
cylinder head temperature gauge
carburetor air temperature gauge
Which statements best describe the turn coordinator.
can be used to establish and maintain a standard-rate-turn by aligning the wing of the
miniature airplane with the inclinometer.
the gimbal in the turn coordinator is mounted; therefore, its gyro can sense both rate
of roll and rate of turn.
set at an angle, or canted, it can initially also show roll rate.
Which statements are correct about the turn indicator?
Airplanes use two types of turn indicators, the turn-and-slip indicator and the turn
coordinator
The turn coordinator shows only the rate of turn while the turn-and-slip indicator
shows both the rate of roll and turn.
In the event an attitude indicator fails, turn indicators serve as a back up source of
bank information.
