Gleim FAA Test Prep: Private Pilot (12 questions) Study Unit 2a [Airplane Instruments, Engines, and Systems] Name: Date: [1] Gleim #: 2.3.23 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 (Refer to Figure 4.) Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed with wing flaps and landing gear in the landing configuration? Upper limit of the white arc. Lower limit of the white arc. Upper limit of the green arc. [2] Gleim #: 2.2.11 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged? Altimeter. Airspeed. Vertical speed. [3] Gleim #: 2.6.37 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs? 70-foot increase in indicated altitude. 700-foot increase in indicated altitude. 70-foot increase in density altitude. [4] Gleim #: 2.1.6 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if a right turn is entered from a north heading. an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading. a left turn is entered from a north heading.

Gleim FAA Test Prep: Private Pilot (12 questions) Study Unit 2a [Airplane Instruments, Engines, and Systems] [5] Gleim #: 2.7.43 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? Lower temperatures lower the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude. Pressure levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than true altitude. Higher temperatures expand the pressure levels and the indicated altitude is higher than true altitude. [6] Gleim #: 2.4.26 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 (Refer to Figure 3.) Altimeter 1 indicates 500 feet. 10,500 feet. 1,500 feet. [7] Gleim #: 2.1.9 -- Source: IFH Chap 6 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? The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the airplane. The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring. [8] Gleim #: 2.2.12 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected? The altimeter, attitude indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator. The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and vertical speed indicator. The altimeter, airspeed indicator, and turn-and-slip indicator.

Gleim FAA Test Prep: Private Pilot (12 questions) Study Unit 2a [Airplane Instruments, Engines, and Systems] [9] Gleim #: 2.8.46 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 (Refer to Figure 5.) A turn coordinator provides an indication of the angle of bank up to but not exceeding 30. movement of the aircraft about the yaw and roll axes. attitude of the aircraft with reference to the longitudinal axis. [10] Gleim #: 2.9.49 -- Source: AAH Chap 5 What steps must be taken when flying with glass cockpits to ensure safe flight? Regularly scan each item on the PFD, confirm on the MFD. Use the moving map for primary means of navigation, use the MFD to check engine systems and weather, back up with supplementary forms of information Regularly scan both inside and outside, use all appropriate checklists, and crosscheck with other forms of information. [11] Gleim #: 2.5.32 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 Under what condition is pressure altitude and density altitude the same value? At sea level, when the temperature is 0 F. At standard temperature. When the altimeter has no installation error. [12] Gleim #: 2.8.44 -- Source: PHAK Chap 7 (Refer to Figure 7.) The proper adjustment to make on the attitude indicator during level flight is to align the horizon bar to the miniature airplane. horizon bar to the level-flight indication. miniature airplane to the horizon bar.
