Correct answer is – Nose-up attitude.

Q34. What would be the indication on an attitude indicator in the right turn?

Correct answer is – Climb due to pendulous vanes. not mentioned but you have to assume that we are talking about air-driven Artificial horizon, which uses a pendulous vane for keeping the gyro vertical. In this Question, we are talking about turning error of gyro. most of the time it shows pitch up

Q35. An electrically driven artificial horizon has fewer errors during the take-off run because:

Correct answer is – it is less pendulous, has a higher rotor speed and a linear acceleration cut-out

Correct answer is – Bank right nose up. THE TABLE GIVEN IN TH BOOK FOR TURNING ERROR IS APPLICABLE FOR RIGHT TURN. SO SELECT RIGHT TURN / right Bank WITH PITCH UP

Q37. When an adjustable aircraft datum is fitted to an artificial horizon in light aircraft:

Correct answer is – it should be set to the central position and left there

Q38. When turning through 270° at constant AOB and pitch attitude, what will a classic artificial horizon indicate?

Correct answer is – Too much nose up and too much bank angle.

Q39. Classic artificial horizon indications turning through 180° at constant AOB?

Correct answer is – Nose up and correct AOB.

Q40. An artificial horizon has?

Correct answer is – Two degrees of freedom and a vertical spin axis.

Q41. A Standby horizon or emergency attitude indicator?

Correct answer is – Contains its own separate gyro.

Q42. How many degrees of freedom and what is the spin axis of an attitude indicator?

Correct answer is – Local earth vertical; two degrees of freedom. Artificial Horizon has 2 degrees of freedom, one in roll and 1 in pitch. so when the aircraft is pitching or rolling then the gyro will remain vertical. controlled by local gravity

Q43. An Attitude indicator has?

Correct answer is – Three degrees of freedom and a vertical spin axis. in this question 2 degree freedom vertical axis is not there so select 3 degree, vertical

Q44. An artificial horizon has………degrees of freedom, along the AXIS in ______ plane?

Correct answer is – Two; vertical. uses vertical axis earth gyro. maintains always local vertical to earth due to rigidity. it has two degrees of freedom 1.- Pitch: about the lateral axis of aircraft- freedom in the horizontal axis. 2. Roll: about longitudinal Axis of aircraft – horizontal axis. in __ horizontal axis . about __ vertical plane

Q45. An AI has?

Correct answer is – Two degrees of freedom and a vertical spin axis.

Correct answer is – 2,4

Q47. During the take-off run an air-driven artificial horizon will usually indicate:

Correct answer is – increased nose-up attitude and right wing low

Q48. Which or the following properties are possessed by a standby artificial horizon? 1. Independent power supply. 2. Separate gyro ( Independent Gyro ) 3. Remote (external) gyro. 4. Used only in emergencies. 5. At least one per pilot in JAR 25 aircraft.
