Question 3

If the pilot increases the reference pressure using the sub-scale setting knob, the altitude indicated by the altimeter:

Accepted Answer

Increases.

Answer

Decreases if QNH > 1013 hPa.

Answer

Decreases if QNH < 1013 hPa.

Answer

Decreases.

Question 4

The QNH is by definition the value of the:

Accepted Answer

Altimeter setting so that the altimeter, on the apron of the aerodrome for which it is given, reads the elevation.

Answer

Atmospheric pressure at the location for which it is given, corrected for non-standard temperature.

Answer

Altimeter setting so that the altimeter, on the apron of the aerodrome for which it is given, reads zero.

Answer

Atmospheric pressure at the level of the ground overflown by the aircraft.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Less than 060°.

Answer

More or less than 060° depending on the pendulous suspension used.

Answer

060°.

Answer

More than 060°.

That advises the pilot to avoid certain deviations from the current vertical rate but does not require any change to be made to that rate.

Answer

Asking the pilot to modify the speed of his aircraft.

Answer

Asking the pilot to modify the heading of his aircraft.
