  • It is the angle between the horizon and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.
    PITCH ANGLE
  • The _________ allows the pilot to adjust the miniature aircraft with the instrument horizon according to the pilot's point of view and the attitude of the aircraft when flying straight and level.
    ADJUSMENT KNOB
  •  An instrument that measures the attitude (inclination) of the aircraft in relation to the horizon in terms of pitch and bank (roll).
    ATTITUDE INDICATOR
  •  ________ is used to quickly realign the gyro with the horizon in case it has topple and should only be done in straight and level flight or on the groun
    CAGING KNOB
  • The miniature aircraft in the attitude indicator represents the ______________ of the aircraft.
    Wings and Nose
  • Upon reaching excessive pitch or bank angles, the ______ will prevent the gyro from rotating freely.
    Mechanical Stops
  • In attitude indicator, a red flag will be visible when the instrument's gyro is ___________.
    not functioning
  • Some models incorporate _________ as bank indicator which generates great confusion in some pilots.

    Sky Pointer
  • This instrument indicates whether the aircraft is making a turn, its rate of turn and the quality of turn.
    Turn and Slip Indicator
  •  The inclinometer measures the quality of turn. Which of these statements is correct in regards with the movement of the ball in the inclinometer

    The aircraft is slipping, if the ball moves in the side of the turn.
  • The standard rate of turn allows the aircraft to perform a 360-degree turn in ___________.
    2 minutes
  • The standard rate of turn in aviation is _________.*
    3 degrees per second
  • The turn coordinator incorporates a gyroscope with _______ degrees of freedom.
    two
  •  The control system in the turn coordinator is composed of ________ that limits the gyro movement and return to its neutral position when turn finishes.
    Calibrated Springs
  •  A ________ is produce when the centrifugal and centripetal forces are equal.
    Coordinated Turn
  •  A ________ is produce when the centrifugal force is greater than the centripetal force.
    Skidding Turn
  • The _____ indicates whether the turn is coordinated, or the aircraft is skidding or slipping.

    Precession
  • As a significant rule to avoid indication errors, the pilot should realign the heading indicator with the compass every ___________ during straight and level flight.
    10 - 15 minutes
  • The miniature aircraft in the middle of heading indicator represents the __________ of the aircraft.

    Orientation
  • The ______ in the heading indicator is a graphic representation of the 360 degrees of azimuth which is printed on the instrument card.
    Compass Rose
  • The directional reference used in aviation is ______*
    Magnetic North
  • This instrument indicates the aircraft heading in degrees in relation to a directional reference.
    Heading Indicator
  •  During turns, acceleration or turbulence, the compass indication suffers from significant errors wherein its design causes the compass card to move in the opposite direction to the turn.
