Exam-Gleim FAA Knowledge test Prep unit TwoQuestions and Answers
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the
north if
A) an aircraft is decelerated while on an east or west heading
B) a left turn is entered from a west heading.
C) an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading. Correct Ans-C) an aircraft is
accelerated while on an east or west heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the
north if an airplane is accelerated while on an east or west heading.
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the
A) presence of flaws in the permanent magnets of the compass.
B) difference in the location between true north and magnetic north
C) magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force. Correct Ans-C)
magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force.

Questions and Answers
Magnetic fields produced by metals and electrical accessories in the airplane disturb the
compass needle and produce errors, These errors are referred to as compass deviation.
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
A) Only in straight and level unaccelerated flight.
B) As long as the airspeed is constant.
C) During turns if the bank does not exceed 18" Correct Ans-A) Only in straight and level
unaccelerated flight.
During flight, the magnetic compass indications can be considered accurate only when in
straight and level, unaccelerated flight. During acceleration, deceleration or turns, the
compass card will dip and cause false readings
Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by

Questions and Answers
A) a northerly turning error.
B) certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.
C) the difference in location of true north and magnetic north Correct Ans-B) certain
metals and electrical systems within the aircraft.
The compass in an airplane will align with any magnetic field, Magnetic fields created by
metals and the electrical system of the aircraft will hinder the ability of the compass to align
with the earth's magnetic field, This phenomenon is known as deviation. Since deviation error
varies by heading, a compass correction card is fitted, providing the pilot with the deviation
for a given heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic
compass will normally indicate
A) a turn momentarily.
B) correctly when on a north or south heading.
C) a turn toward the south. Correct Ans-B) correctly when on a north or south heading.

Questions and Answers
Acceleration and deceleration errors on a magnetic compasses do not occur when on a north
or south heading in the northern Hemisphere. They occur on east and west headings.
In the northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward
the west if
A) a left turn is entered form a north heading.
B) a right turn is entered from a north heading.
C) an aircraft is accelerated while on a north heading. Correct Ans-B) a right turn is entered
from a north heading.
Due to the northerly turn error in the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will initially
indicate a turn toward the west if a right (east) turn is entered from a north heading.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the
south when
