Standard rate turn
3 degrees per second. 60 seconds to turn 180.
During taxi, where the inclinometer ball should move when making a turn?
To the outside of the turn, and the needle should deflect in the direction of the turn.
TAS
True Airspeed - is a CAS (calibrated airspeed) corrected for nonstandard temperature and pressure.
Mach
Is the ratio of the aircraft’s true airspeed o the speed of sound.
EVS vs SVS
In the MFD
Multifunction display
EVS - Enhanced vision system - provides a display of the forward external scene topography through the use of imaging sensors, such as forward looking infrared, millimeter wave radio entry or radar, and low level image intensifying.
SVS - Synthetic vision system - is a computer-generated image of the surrounding topography created from database of terrain, obstacles, and cultural features and a navigation source for the aircraft’s position, altitude, heading and track.
Instruments for IFR flight in addition to those required for flight under VFR:
Gyroscopic pitch and bank indicator Sensitive altimeter Gyroscopic direction indicator Gyroscopic rate-of-turn indicator Slip/skid indicator Clock
The altimeter, static system and the transponder must have been inspected in the preceding …

CAS
Calibrated airspeed is indicated airspeed corrected for installation and instrument error.
EAS
Equivalent airspeed is calibrated airspeed corrected for adiabatic compressible flow at a particular altitude. At airspeeds above 200 kts and altitudes abv 20,000 ft, air is compressed in front of an aircraft as it passes through the air. Compressibility causes abnormally high airspeed indications, so EAS is lower than CAS.
COMPLETE blockage of the pitot tube can cause …
The airspeed indicator to react opposite of normal, showing an increase in airspeed as you climb, and a decrease in airspeed in a descent.
HSI
In PFD
Horizontal situation indicator displays heading and navigation information and includes a turn rate indicator.
The formula to determine the standard-rate turn/bank
Angle of bank = [TAS : 10] + 5
ADC
Air Data Computer
The pitot tube, static source, and outside air temperature probe provide information to the ADC, which uses these inputs to determine the appropriate reading for airspeed indicator, altimeter, and VSI.
The primary pitch instrument during a constant altitude turn is
The altimeter
If the gyroscopic heading indicator is inoperative, the primary bank Instrument in unaccelerated straight-and-level flight is
the magnetic compass.
When performing compass turns to a northerly heading in the northern hemisphere, roll out …
Before the compass reaches the desired heading.
When you turn yo a southerly heading,
wait until the compass passes the desired heading.
To recover from a nose-high unusual attitude:
- Add power
- Lower the nose
- Level the wings
- Return to the original attitude and heading
Do it almost simultaneously, though
To recover from a nose-low unusual attitude:
- Reduce power
- Level the wings
- Raise the nose to place the aircraft symbol on the horizon line of the attitude indicator
Do it almost simultaneously
SSV
what is that and where can it be found ?
Related to VORs
Standard Service Volume
VOR facilities are classified according to SSV : Terminal, low and high altitude
SSV can be found in the Chart Supplement
To use a VOR for flight under IFR, the VOR system must have been tested for accuracy within the preceding …..
30 days
RAIM
Receiver automous integrity monitoring
The equipment monitors and compares signals from multiple satellites to ensure an accurate signal.
Required for IFR according to TSO-C129
When airspeed is increased in a turn, what must be done to maintain a constant altitude?
Increase the angle of bank and/or decrease the pitch attitude.
The pressure altitude is the altitude read on your altimeter when the instrument is adjusted to indicate height above
the standard datum plane
