1. Which statement is true about magnetic deviation of a compass? Deviation

-varies for different headings of the same aircraft
2. Maximum structural cruising speed is the maximum spped at which an airplane can be operated
during
-normal operation
3. Why should flight speed above VNE be avoided?
-design limit load factors may be exceeded, if gust are encountered.

4. The horizontal dashed line from point C to point E represents the

-positive limit load factor.
5. The vertical line from point E to point F is represented on the airspeed indicator by the
-upper limit of the yellow arc.
6. The vertical line from point D to point G is represented on the airspeed indicator by the
maximum speed limit of the
-green arc
7. Which airspeed would a pilot be unable to identify by the color coding of an airspeed indicator?
-the maneuvering speed.
8. Calibrated airspeed is best described as indicated airspeed corrected for
-installation and instrument error.
9. True airspeed is best described as calibrated airspeed corrected for
-altitude and nonstandard temperature.
10. What is an advantage of an electric turn coordinator if the airplane has a vacuum system for
other gyroscopic instruments?
 -it is a backup in case of vacuum system failure.
11. What is an operational difference between the turn coordinator and the turn-and-slip indicator?
The turn coordinator
-indicates roll rate, rate of turn, and coordination; the turn-and-slip indicator indicates rate of
turn and coordination.
12. Fouling of spark plugs is more apt to occur if the aircraft
-gains altitude with no mixture adjustment.
13. What will occur if no leaning is made with the mixture control as the flight altitude increases?
-the density of air entering the carburetor decrease and the amount of fuel remains constant.
14. Unless adjusted, the fuel/air mixture becomes richer with an increase in altitude because the
amount of fuel
-remains constant while the density of air decreases.
15. The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel/air mixture control at altitude is to
-decrease the fuel flow to compensate for decreased air density.
16. At high altitudes, an excessively rich mixture will cause the
-fouling of spark plugs.
17. The pilot controls the air/fuel ratio with the
-mixture control
18. Fuel/air ratio is the ratio between the
-weight of fuel and weight of air entering the cylinder.
19. The best power mixture is that fuel/air ratio at which
-the most power can be obtained for any given throttle setting.
20. The mixture control can be adjusted, which
-prevents the fuel/air combination from becoming too rich at higher altitudes.
21. What effect, if any , would a change in ambient temperature or air density have on gas turbine
engine performance?
-as temperature increases, thrust decreases.
22. Which statement is true concerning the effect of the application of carburetor
Heat?
-it enriches the fuel/air mixture.
23. Applying carburetor heat will
-enrich the fuel/air mixture.
24. Leaving the carburetor heat on during takeoff
-will increase the ground roll.
25. Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when
-the unburned fuel/air charge in the cylinders is subjected to instantaneous combustion
26. Detonation can be caused by
-using a low grade of fuel the recommended
27. The uncontrolled firing of the fuel/air charge in advance of normal spark ignition is known as
-pre-ignition
28. Detonation may occur at high-power settings when
-the fuel mixture ignites instantaneously instead of burning progressively and evenly.
29. Before shutdown, while at idle, the ignition key is momentarily turned OFF. The engine
continues to run with no interruption; this
-should not normally happen. Indicates a ,magneto not grounding in OFF position.
30. A way to detect a broken magneto primary grounding lead is to
-idle the engine and momentarily turn the ignition off.

31. The most probable reason an engine continues to run after the ignition switch has been turned
off is
-a broken magneto ground wire.
32. A detuning of engine crankshaft counterweights is a source of overstress that may be caused by
-rapid opening and closing of the throttle.
33. If the ground wire between the magneto and the ignition switch becomes disconnected, the
engine
-could accidently start if the propeller is moved with fuel in the cylinder.
34. For internal cooling, reciprocating aircraft engines are especially dependent on
-the circulation of lubricating oil.
35. An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by
-the oil level being too low.
36. Frequent inpections should be made of aircraft exhaust maniflold-type heating systems to
minimize the possibility of
-exhaust gases leaking into the cockpit.
37. Propeller efficiency is the
-ratio of thrust horsepower to brake horsepower.
38. The reason for variations in geometric pitch (twisting) along a propeller blade is that it
-permits a relatively constant angle of attack along its length when in cruising flight.
39. A fixed-pitch propeller is designed for best efficiency only ate a given combination of
-airspeed and RPM
40. Which statement best describes the operating principleof constant-speed propeller?
-the propeller control regulates the engine RPM and in turn the propeller RPM.
41. To develop maximum power and thrust, a constant-speed propeller should be set to a blade
angle that will produce a
-small angle of attack and high RPM.
42. For takeoff, the blade angle of a controllable-pitch propeller should be set at a
- small angle of attack and high RPM.
43. To establish a climb after takeoff in an aircraft equipped with a constant-speed propeller, the
output of the engine is reduced to climb power by decreasing manifold pressure and
-a decreasing RPM by increasing propeller blade angle.
44. In aircraft equipped with constant-speed propellers and normally-aspireted engines, which
procedure should be used to avoid placing undue stress on the engine component? When
power is being
-increased, increase the RPM before increasing the manifold pressure.
45. A propeller rotating clockwise as seem from the rear, creates a spiraling slipsteam that tend to
rotate the airplane to the
-left around the vertical axis, and to the right around the longitudinal axis.
