Instrument Flying

Question 1

Instrument cross check

Answer 1

• scan

- logical or systematic observation of instrument panel

Question 2

Radial check

Answer 2

Spending 80 to 90% of time on attitude indicator

Question 3

Common cross check errors

Answer 3

• fixation, applying full attention on a single instrument .
• omission, exclusion of one or more secondary instrument for given task.

Emphasis, relying on an instrument that you really understand. Even when it provides inadequate information for given task.

Question 4

Instrument interpretation

Answer 4

• Understanding the limitations of each instrument, knowing which other instrument to cross check to complet picture.
• results from cross checking and interpreting the flight instrument.

Question 5

Control and Performance Method

Answer 5

• Control, Performance, Navigation
• use control instruments by accurately establishing a specific attitude and power setting.
• performance instruments will indicate how the airplane will responds to altitude and power setting.
