[1] Gleim #: 2.6.63 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 During recoveries from unusual attitudes, level flight is attained the instant the horizon bar on the attitude indicator is exactly overlapped with the miniature airplane. the altimeter and airspeed needles stop prior to reversing their direction of movement. a zero rate of climb is indicated on the VSI. [2] Gleim #: 2.7.68 -- Source: IFH Chap 3 (Refer to Figure 151.) What is the flight attitude? One instrument has malfunctioned. Climbing turn to the right. Level turn to the right. Level turn to the left. [3] Gleim #: 2.5.44 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 For maintaining level flight at constant thrust, which instrument would be the least appropriate for determining the need for a pitch change? VSI. Attitude indicator. Altimeter. Copyright 2011 Gleim Publications Inc. Page 1
[4] Gleim #: 2.4.37 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 What is the correct sequence in which to use the three skills used in instrument flying? Instrument interpretation, cross-check, and aircraft control. Cross-check, instrument interpretation, and aircraft control. Aircraft control, cross-check, and instrument interpretation. [5] Gleim #: 2.5.39 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 What instruments are considered supporting bank instruments during a straight, stabilized climb at a constant rate? Heading indicator and attitude indicator. Attitude indicator and turn coordinator. Heading indicator and turn coordinator. [6] Gleim #: 2.4.34 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 What is the first fundamental skill in attitude instrument flying? Aircraft control. Instrument cross-check. Instrument interpretation. [7] Gleim #: 2.3.26 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 As a rule of thumb, altitude corrections of less than 100 feet should be corrected by using two bar widths on the attitude indicator. less than a full bar width on the attitude indicator. less than a half bar width on the attitude indicator.

[8] Gleim #: 2.1.9 -- Source: IFH Chap 2 The primary reason the angle of attack must be increased, to maintain a constant altitude during a coordinated turn, is because the use of ailerons has increased the drag. thrust is acting in a different direction, causing a reduction in airspeed and loss of lift. vertical component of lift has decreased as the result of the bank. [9] Gleim #: 2.5.48 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 During standard-rate turns, which instrument is considered primary for bank? Attitude indicator. Heading indicator. Turn and slip indicator or turn coordinator. [10] Gleim #: 2.7.65 -- Source: IFH Chap 3 (Refer to Figure 148.) What is the flight attitude? One system which transmits information to the instruments has malfunctioned. Climbing turn to right. Climbing turn to left. Level turn to left. [11] Gleim #: 2.6.58 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 (Refer to Figure 145.) What is the correct sequence for recovery from the unusual attitude indicated? Level the wings, raise the nose of the aircraft to level flight attitude, and obtain desired airspeed. Reduce power, level the wings, bring pitch attitude to level flight. Reduce power, increase back elevator pressure, and level the wings. Copyright 2011 Gleim Publications Inc. Page 3
[12] Gleim #: 2.2.15 -- Source: IFH Chap 3 If 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. 50 seconds. 40 seconds. [13] Gleim #: 2.5.55 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 Which instrument is considered primary for power as the airspeed reaches the desired value during change of airspeed in a level turn? Attitude indicator. Airspeed indicator. Altimeter. [14] Gleim #: 2.3.29 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 To enter a constant-airspeed descent from level-cruising flight, and maintain 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. [15] Gleim #: 2.5.50 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 What is the initial primary bank instrument when establishing a level standard-rate turn? Heading indicator. Turn coordinator. Attitude indicator.

[16] Gleim #: 2.3.32 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 While cruising at 160 knots, you wish to establish a climb at 130 knots. When entering the climb (full panel), it is proper to make the initial pitch change by increasing back elevator pressure until the attitude indicator, airspeed, and vertical speed indicate a climb. vertical speed indication reaches the predetermined rate of climb. attitude indicator shows the approximate pitch attitude appropriate for the 130-knot climb. [17] Gleim #: 2.6.61 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 If an airplane is in an unusual flight attitude and the attitude indicator has exceeded its limits, which instruments should be relied on to determine pitch attitude before starting recovery? Airspeed and altimeter. Turn indicator and VSI. VSI and airspeed to detect approaching VSI or VMO. [18] Gleim #: 2.5.46 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 What instruments are primary for pitch, bank, and power, respectively, when transitioning into a constant airspeed climb from straight-and-level flight? Vertical speed, attitude indicator, and manifold pressure or tachometer. Attitude indicator, heading indicator, and manifold pressure gauge or tachometer. Attitude indicator for both pitch and bank; airspeed indicator for power. [19] Gleim #: 2.2.19 -- Source: IFH Chap 2 If a half-standard-rate turn is maintained, how much time would be required to turn clockwise from a heading of 090 to a heading of 180? 1 minute 30 seconds. 30 seconds. 1 minute.

[20] Gleim #: 2.5.45 -- Source: IFH Chap 4 The gyroscopic heading indicator is inoperative. What is the primary bank instrument in unaccelerated straight-and-level flight? Magnetic compass. Miniature aircraft of turn coordinator. Attitude indicator. Copyright 2011 Gleim Publications Inc. Page 6
