- When airspeed is decreased in a turn what must be done to maintain level flight?
Increase the pitch attitude and or increase the angle of bank
Increase the angle of bank and/or decrease the pitch attitude
Decrease the angle of bank and or increase the pitch attitude
Decrease the angle of bank and or increase the pitch attitude

- When airspeed is decreased in a turn what must be done to maintain level flight
Decrease the angle of bank and or increase the angle of attack
Increase the angle of bank and or decrease the angle of attack
Increase the angle of attack
Decrease the angle of bank and or increase the angle of attack

- It’s a standard rate turn is maintained how much time would be required to turn to the left from a heading of 090° to a heading of 300°
30 seconds
40 seconds
50 seconds
50 seconds
It’s a total of 150° divided by 3° per second equals 50 seconds

- Conditions that determine pitch attitude required to maintain level flight are
Flightpath wind velocity and angle of attack
Airspeed air density wing design and angle of attack
Relative wind pressure altitude and vertical lift component
Airspeed air density wing design and angle of attack.

- To enter a constant airspeed descent from level cruising flight and maintaining cruising airspeed the pilot should
First adjust the pitch attitude to a descent using the attitude indicator as a reference then Adjust the power to maintain the cruising airspeed
First reduce power then Adjust the pitch using the attitude indicator as a reference to establish a specific rate on the VSI
Simultaneously reduce power and adjust the pitch using the attitude indicator as a reference to maintain the cruising airspeed
Simultaneously reduce power and adjust the pitch using the attitude indicator as a reference to maintain the cruising airspeed

- For maintaining level flight at a constant thrust which instrument would be the least appropriate for determining the need for a pitch change.
Altimeter
VSI
Attitude indicator
Attitude indicator

The attitude indicator has no way of knowing whether a level flight is existed or existing for that airspeed you need to verify level flight by using the altimeter VSI AND the airspeed Indicator
