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

variable more than one rate of turn is desired

lower a higher rigidity is not required

the same it uses the property of rigidity

a higher a low precession rate gives a greater operating range

2. The radius of a turn at rate 1, and TAS 360 kts is

7.5nm

2nm

10nm

5nm

3. The rate of turn indicator uses (i) ............... which spins (ii)...................

rate gyro up and away from the pilot

earth gyro Clockwise

tied gyro anti-clockwise when viewed from above

space gyroscope up and away from the pilot

4. When the pointer of a rate of turn indicator shows a steady rate of turn

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

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

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

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

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

the rate of turn indicated will be unaffected

the instrument will overread

the radius of the turn will decrease

the aircraft will turn faster than indicated
