Question | Answer |
---|---|
What type of current is produced by a battery? | Direct Current |
True or False. The magnetos are a part of the electrical system. | False, magnetos are completely separate from the electrical system. |
What are four characteristics of hydraulic fluid that must be considered? | Viscosity, Chemical Stability, Flash Point, Fire Point |
________ is the temperature at which liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite momentarily. ________ is the temperature at which liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite and continue to burn. | Flash Point, Fire Point |
Name three types of hydraulic fluid. | Vegetable-base, Mineral-base, Synthetic |
What is the main purpose of circuit breakers or fuses? | Protect various components from overloads. |
If a circuit breaker pops out, you can reset it ______ time(s) | One |
What controls the rate of charge to the battery by stabilizing generator/alternator electrical output? | Voltage Regulator |
In an ammeter, positive value means _______ and negative value means _______. | The battery is being charged, You are drawing off of the battery |
How many parts are there to an ignition system? List them. | There are four parts in the ignition system. The four parts are the magnetos, spark plugs, interconnecting wires, and the ignition switch. |
What does Oil do for a reciprocating engine? | Lubricates, cleans, seals, cools and protects are all things that oil does for a reciprocating engine. |
What is the job of the alternator? | Supplies the engine when running with electrical supply. |
How many different types of ammeters are there and what is the difference between them? | There are two types of ammeters. One reflects current flow to or from the battery and the other displays the load placed on the alternator and is often called the load meter. |
True/False – There are four types of valves, the selector valve, sequence valve, priority valve, and pressure control valves. | True |
Is a generator different from an alternator? If so how? | A generator is different than an alternator in the fact they generators do not produce enough electrical current at low RPM to operate the entire electrical system. Whereas an alternator produces sufficient amounts of current at slower RPMs. |
How soon after landing should an aircraft be checked for proper inflation? | No sooner than two hours after touchdown. |
What is the most important part of an aircraft tire? | The bead, steel wires forming the inner diameter of the tire while providing mounting surfaces for the tire as well as anchorage for the plies. |
What is tread? | Surface area for runway contact on an aircraft tire. |
List the main parts of the ignition system. | Spark Plugs Interconnecting wires Ignition Switch Magentos |
What tread is used for light aircraft, grass runways and locations where breaking is only used as an aid to taxiing? | Smooth tread. |
What is a fusible plug used for? | To prevent tire blowout due to heat build-up. |
What are the five requirements needed for aircraft hydraulic fluid? | Must flow with minimum opposition, must be incompressible, must have good lubricating properties, must inhibit corrosion and not attack seals, and must not foam during operation. |
What is Flash Point? | Ignition momentarily |
What is Fire Point? | Ignites, and keeps burning |
When inspecting the brakes, what should you be sure to check? | All the brake pads |
When you check the brake rotor, what should you look for? | Excessive rust, grooves, and the overall thickness |
What kind of tire is used to deflect water or slush away from the intake of the jet engines? | Chine sided tires |
What type of tire tread is used in very light aircraft, on grass runways, and locations where braking is aided during taxiing? | Smooth tread |
The ignition switch of the Cirrus SR 20 controls the L and R magneto and starter. (True or False) | True |
