Directions:This part of the test has 20 questions designed to measure your ability to determine the position of an airplane in flight from reading instruments showing its compass heading, its amount of climb or dive, and its degree of bank to right or left. In each item, the left-hand dial is labeled ARTIFICIAL HORIZON. On the face of this dial the small aircraft silhouette remains stationary, while the positions of the heavy black line and the black pointer vary with changes in the position of the airplane in which the instrument is located.




How to Read the Artificial Horizon Dial


The heavy black line represents the HORIZON LINE. The black pointer shows the degree of BANK to the right or left.Dial 1 shows an airplane neither climbing nor diving, with no bank.



If the airplane is neither climbing nor diving, the horizon line is directly on the silhouette's fuselage. If the airplane has no bank, the black pointer is seen to point to zero.




Dial 2 shows an airplane climbing and banking 45 degrees to the pilot's right.



If the airplane is climbing, the fuselage silhouette is seen between the horizon line and the pointer. The greater the amount of climb, the greater the distance between the horizon line and the fuselage silhouette. If the airplane is banked to the pilot's right, the pointer is seen to the left of zero.




Dial 3 shows an airplane diving and banked 45 degrees to the pilot's left.



If the airplane is diving, the horizon line is seen between the fuselage silhouette and the pointer. The greater the amount of dive, the greater the distance between the horizon line and the fuselage silhouette. If the airplane is banked to the p...

If the airplane is diving, the horizon line is seen between the fuselage silhouette and the pointer. The greater the amount of dive, the greater the distance between the horizon line and the fuselage silhouette. If the airplane is banked to the pilot's left, the pointer is seen to the right of zero.





On each item, the right-hand dial is labeled COMPASS. On this dial, the arrow shows the compass direction in which the airplane is headed at the moment. Dial 4 shows it headed north; dial 5 shows it headed west; and dial 6 shows it headed northwest.

A Sample Question Explained




Each item in this test consists of two dials and four silhouettes of airplanes in flight. Your task is to determine which one of the four airplanes is MOST NEARLY in the position indicated by the two dials. YOU ARE ALWAYS LOOKING NORTH AT THE SAME ALTITUDE AS EACH OF THE PLANES. EAST IS ALWAYS TO YOUR RIGHT AS YOU LOOK AT THE PAGE.




Item X is a sample. In item X the dial labeled ARTICIFIAL HORIZON shows that the airplane is NOT banked, and is neither climbing nor diving. The COMPASS shows that it is headed southeast. The only one of the four airplane silhouettes that meets these specifications is in the box lettered (C), so the answer to X is (C). Note that (B) is a rear view, while (D) is a front view. Note also that (A) is banked to the right and that (B) is banked to the left.
