The Turn and Slip Indicator: DGCA Air Navigation questions

Question 1

The rate of turn indicator uses i ............... which spins ii...................

Accepted Answer

i a rate gyro, ii up and away from the pilot

Answer

i a space gyroscope, ii up and away from the pilot

Answer

i a tied gyro, ii anticlockwise when viewed from above

Answer

i an earth gyro, ii clockwise

Question 2

The gyro in a rate of turn indicator has i ....................... operating speed than the gyros used in other instruments because ii.........

Accepted Answer

i a lower, ii a higher rigidity is not required

Answer

i the same, ii it uses the property of rigidity

Answer

i a higher, ii a low precession rate gives a greater operating range

Answer

i variable, ii more than one rate of turn is desired

Question 3

The TBI Turn and Bank Indicator shown alongside indicates:

Accepted Answer

A rate of turn to the left, slipping in

Answer

An aircraft taxiing and turning starboard

Answer

That the aircraft will complete a turn in one minute

Answer

The aircraft is yawing to the right

Question 4

When the pointer of a rate of turn indicator shows a steady rate of turn:

Accepted Answer

The spring is providing a force which produces a precession equal to the rate of turn in the correct direction

Answer

The calibrated spring is exerting a force about the lateral axis equal to the rate of turn

Answer

The force produced by the spring is producing a precession equal to but opposite to the rate of turn

Answer

The spring is providing a force which produces a precession equal to the rate of turn in the opposite direction

Question 5

If the filter of the air driven rate of turn indicator becomes partially blocked:

Accepted Answer

The aircraft will turn faster than indicated

Answer

The instrument will over-read

Answer

The rate of turn indicated will be unaffected

Answer
