Q1. An aircraft is flying at a 120 kt true airspeed (TAS), in order to achieve a rate 1 turn, the pilot will have to bank the aircraft at an angle of:
18°.
Q2. When, in flight, the needle of a needle-and-ball indicator is on the left and the ball on the right, the aircraft is:
turning left with not enough bank
Q3. On the ground, during a left turn, the turn indicator indicates :
needle to the left, ball to the right
Q4. The rate-of-turn is the:
change-of-heading rate of the aircraft
Q5. When, in flight, the needle of a needle-and-ball indicator is on the right and the ball on the left, the aircraft is:
turning right with not enough bank
Q6. A turn indicator is built around a gyroscope with:
1 degree of freedom.
Q7. In a turn at constant rate, the turn indicator reading is:
inversely proportional to the aircraft true airspeed
Q8. In a Turn-indicator, the measurement of rate-of-turn consists for :
low bank angles, in measuring the yaw rate
Q9. A turn indicator is an instrument which indicates rate of turn. Rate of turn depends upon : 1 : bank angle 2 : aeroplane speed 3 : aeroplane weight The combination regrouping the correct statements is :
1 and 2.
Q10. The turn rate indicator uses a gyroscope: 1 – with one degree of freedom. 2 – with two degrees of freedom 3 – the frame of which is supported by two return springs. 4 – the spinning wheel axis of which is parallel to the pitch axis. 5 – the spinning wheel axis of which is parallel to the yawing axis. 6 – the spinning wheel axis of which is horizontal. The combination of correct statements is:
1,3,4
Q11. The needle of the Turn and Bank indicator shows:
The rate at which the aircraft is turning about the yaw axis.
Q12. An airborne instrument, equipped with a gyro with 1 degree of freedom and a horizontal spin axis is a :
turn indicator
Q13. When, in flight, the needle and ball of a needle-and-ball indicator are on the left, the aircraft is:
turning left with too much bank
Q14. On the ground, during a right turn, the turn indicator indicates :
needle to the right, ball to left
Q15. At a low bank angle, the measurement of rate-of-turn actually consists in measuring the :
yaw rate of the aircraft
Q16. What indications should you get from the turn-and-slip indicator during taxi?
the ball moves freely opposite the turn, and the needle deflects in the direction of the turn
Q17. When, in flight, the needle and ball of a needle-and-ball indicator are on the right, the aircraft is:
turning right with too much bank
Q18. Under normal operating conditions, when an aircraft is in a banked turn, the rate-of-turn indicator is a valuable gyroscopic flight control instrument; when it is associated with an attitude indicator it indicates: 1. the angular velocity of the aircraft about the yaw axis 2. The bank of the aircraft 3. The direction of the aircraft turn 4. The angular velocity of the aircraft about the roll axis
1,3.
Q19. What is an operational difference between the turn coordinator and the turn and slip indicator?
the turn coordinator indicates roll rate, rate of turn, and co-ordination; the turn and slip indicator indicates rate of turn and co-ordination
