Question 3

The only instrument that provides an instantaneous, direct indication of the airplane’s pitch and bank attitude is:

Answer 3

Attitude indicator.

Question 4

The skills involved in all instrument flight are:

Answer 4

1. Instrument scanning
2. Interpretation
3. Aircraft control.

Question 5

Using the attitude indicator, you can determine its accuracy best by referring to:

Answer 5

1. Altimeter

2. Heading Indicator.

Question 6

In straight flight, small deviations from wings level can be more easily corrected by use of:

Answer 6

Rudder pressure.

Question 7

In a climb, with a constant power setting, airspeed changes can only be made by:

Answer 7

Changing pitch.

Question 8

Like the climb, a descent is made:

Answer 8

At a specific airspeed.

Question 9

If the bank is too steep in a turn:

Answer 9

Altitude may be lost rapidly.

Question 10

In any instrument flight situation, your first concern is to:

Answer 10

Fly the airplane.
