Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Valve lag is the
Respuesta
  • inlet valve closing after the BDC of the induction stroke
  • inlet valve closing after TDC of the exhaust stroke
  • exhaust valve closing after the TDC of the exhaust stroke
  • exhaust valve closing after the BDC of the induction stroke

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Spark plug fouling can be prevented by
Respuesta
  • Avoiding operating the engine at low RPM for long periods
  • Applying short bursts of power whilst taxiing
  • Maintaining engine RPM within the red arc on the tachometer
  • Operating the engine at low RPM occasionally

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Which of the following best describes a wet sump oil system?
Respuesta
  • A portion of the oil is stored in the sump and is topped up from the oil tank
  • Used oil is collected in the sump and returned to the oil tank
  • All the oil is contained within the engine
  • No oil is needed for lubrication in this system

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
Airflow through a venturi, such as a carburettor, causes
Respuesta
  • increasing pressure and decreasing velocity at the throat
  • increasing velocity and decreasing pressure at the throat
  • increasing velocity and increasing pressure at the throat
  • increasing velocity and increasing pressure at the outlet

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
A bourdon tube change it's what when the pressure within changes?
Respuesta
  • Temperature
  • Density
  • Length
  • Curvature

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Detonation could result from
Respuesta
  • A higher grade of fuel than recommended
  • Too low a manifold pressure
  • Too weak a mixture
  • Too rich a mixture

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
When a fuel priming pump is used, the fuel is normally delivered into the -
Respuesta
  • Induction manifold or inlet valve port
  • Booster pump
  • Carburettor float chamber
  • Combustion chamber

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
If a fuse blows in flight it
Respuesta
  • should not be replaced until after landing
  • may be replaced in the air once, with a fuse of the same value
  • may be replaced with a fuse of a higher value to prevent blowing again
  • may be replaced in the air once, with a fuse of a lower value

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
In the event of an alternator failure in flight the
Respuesta
  • Electrical load should be reduced and the flight continued
  • Electrical load should be reduced and a landing made at the nearest suitable airfield
  • Master switch should be turned off and the flight continued without electrics
  • Flight may be continued because the battery will supply the electricity

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
In a diesel engine, ignition occurs through
Respuesta
  • A spark plug
  • A fuse wire
  • Compression
  • An open flame

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
The yellow arc on the airspeed indicator represents the
Respuesta
  • Caution range
  • Flap operating range
  • Normal operating range
  • Never exceed range

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
In flight is is observed that the vacuum gauge reads zero, however the vacuum driven instruments appear to be functioning normally. This implies that -
Respuesta
  • The vacuum gauge has failed
  • Nothing is wrong
  • The air filter is blocked
  • The vacuum pump has failed

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
The apparent drift of a direction indicator is caused by -
Respuesta
  • Mechanical wear in the instrument
  • Movement of the gyroscope spin axis
  • Slowing of the gyroscope rotor
  • Rotation of Earth

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
When referenced to the stall of a clean airfoil, extended trailing edge flaps will give
Respuesta
  • A higher geometric stalling angle of attack
  • A higher stalling speed
  • The same stalling angle of attack
  • A lower geometric stalling angle of attack

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
What happens to the turn rate and radius in a level turn if airspeed is increased?
Respuesta
  • Rate increases, radius decreases
  • Both increase
  • Rate decreases, radius increases
  • Both decrease

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
An increase in airspeed, for a constant angle of attack causes
Respuesta
  • Decreased lift and increased profile drag
  • No change in lift but increased profile drag
  • Increased lift and no change in profile drag
  • Increased lift and increased profile drag

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
An aircraft is said to be in equilibrium when
Respuesta
  • Weight equals drag and lift equals trust
  • Weight equals lift and drag equals thrust
  • Lift equals weight and drag equals power
  • Lift equals drag and thrust equals weight

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
At high speed control surfaces may be prone to flutter, this is avoided by
Respuesta
  • Fitting mass balances forward of the hinge line
  • Using an anti-balance tab
  • Using a trim tab
  • Using a horn balance

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
The coefficient of lift is at its maximum value at
Respuesta
  • The critical angle of attack
  • The IAS for minimum drag
  • Four degrees angle of attack
  • A negative angle of attack

Pregunta 20

Pregunta

Pregunta 21

Pregunta
As the airspeed of an aircraft in increased
Respuesta
  • Induced drag increases and parasite drag decreases
  • Induced drag decreases and parasite drag increases
  • Both induced drag and parasite drag increases
  • Both induced drag and parasite drag decreases

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
An aircraft with an aft CoG is
Respuesta
  • Stable in pitch
  • Harder to stall
  • Sensitive to pitch
  • Easy to recover from a spin

Pregunta 23

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • The tail to rise
  • Roll to the right
  • The nose to rise
  • Roll to the left

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
If the CG of an aircraft is at or near the forward limit, this will cause
Respuesta
