Term
| Describe an instrument t/o |
|
Definition
uses outside visual reference and instruments, with the amount of attention spent on each reference depending on existing weather conditions. As visual cues disappear, shift more attention to instruments
(16) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
ADI, altimeter, VVI, airspeed indicator

|
|
Term
| True or false- If coulds are layered, briefly transition to outside visual cues between the layers, but immediately transition back to instruments upon entering the next layer. |
|
Definition
False. With layered clouds, a high probability of spatial disorientation exists, so stay on the instruments

Term
| Maintaining altitude is accomplised by... |
|
Definition
Setting a specific pitch on the ADI
(17) |
|
|
Term

Definition
|
|
Term
| Maintaing a desired heading is accomplished by... |
|
Definition
maintaing zero bank in coordinated flight
(18) |
|
|
Term
| as a guide, the bank attitude change on the ADI should equal the heading deviation in degrees, not to exceed ___ |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| If zero bank attitude is maintained and the heading changes, the ADI may be precessing. What should you do? |
|
Definition
Confirm by referencing backup ADI and transition to the backup if needed
(18) |
|
|
Term
| Establish/maintain an airspeed by... |
|
Definition
| adjusting power, drag devices, or aircraft attitude |
|
|
Term
| An airspeed deviation may be the result of a _____ instead of an incorrect power setting. |
|
Definition
pitch change. Before changing your power, check your altitude/VSI
(18-19) |
|
|
Term
| A standard rate turn is defined as a rate at which the a/c will make a ___ degree turn in _____ minutes |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or false: during a turn, it will normally be necessary to decrease pitch slightly to maintain altitude. |
|
Definition
| False. Must usually increase pitch slightly to counteract loss of vertical lift due to the bank |
|
|
Term
| True or false: during a turn, an increase in power will be required to counteract the induced drag produced by the elevator inputs |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Lead point for rolling out of a turn is approximately ___ the angle of bank used |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| steep turns are normally any turn greater than ___ degrees of bank |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or false: The magnetic compass provides reliable information during all a/c attitudes |
|
Definition
False. It is only accurate during straight, level, unaccelerated flight
(21) |
|
|
Term
| Constant airspeed climbs/descents are accomplished by setting _____ and varying ___ to maintain a specific _____ |
|
Definition
power; pitch; airspeed
(21) |
|
|
Term
| Constant rate climbs/descents are accomplished by varying both pitch and power to maintain a specific ____ |
|
Definition
airspeed AND vertical velocity
(21) |
|
|
Term
| in a climb or descent, approaching your level off altitude, a good lead point is approximately ____ of your VSI |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Vertical "S" maneuvers are designed to improve a pilot's ____ and ____ |
|
Definition
cross check and a/c control
(22) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
rate climbs/descents on a constant heading
(23) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
same as A but with a constant angle of bank
(23) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
same as B but the direction of turn is reversed at the beginning of each descent
(23) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
same as C, but the direction of turn is reversed simultaneously with each change of vertical direction
(24) |
|
|
Term
| confidence are basic aerobatic manuevers designed to... |
|
Definition
gain confidence in the use of the ADI in extreme pitch and bank attitudes
(24) |
|
|
Term
| to begin a confidence manuever aileron roll, bring the nose up to ___ to ___ degrees high |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| During a wingover, plan to arrive at 90 degrees of bank as.... |
|
Definition
the fuselage dot of the miniature a/c reaches the horizon bar
(24) |
|
|
Term
| during a wingover, keep the wing tip of the miniature a/c on the horizon bar until reaching ___ degrees of bank |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| during a confidence manuever aileron roll, adjust the rate of roll so that, when inverted, the wings wil be... |
|
Definition
level as the fuselage dot of the miniature a/c passes through the horizon bar
(25) |
|
|
Term
| What should you when you recognize an unusual attitude? |
|
Definition
confirm it exists by comparing control and performance instruments, then recover on the ADI
(27) |
|
|
Term
| True or false- recovery from a nose low instrument unusual attitude requires idle power. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or false- recovery from a nose low instrument unusual attitude requires not adding back pressure until less than 90 degrees of bank |
|
Definition
|
