tank vents?.
A. Booster pump differential pressure.

C. Float operated valves.
Explanation. Float operated valves allow the vent lines to vent both ways if there
is no fuel on the float, but will `shut when the float is lifted by fuel.

484. After a bag tank replacement, where would you disconnect the system to
carry out the flow checks?.
A. At the engine.
B. At tank outlet.

Explanation. CAIPs AL/3-17 states that for any aircraft fuel flow test after major
system interruption connect the flow rig at the engine bulkhead.

A. To detect excess metal.
B. To detect sulphur in fuel.
C. To strain oil for contamination.
Explanation. Rolls Royce The Jet Engine Page 254 refers.

486. The basic concept of an H.P fuel control is.

A. automatic adjustment of the fuel control unit by preventing excess
fuel reaching the burners.
B. the bleeding of excess fuel back to the input of the H.P pump swash
plate piston.
C. constant adjustment of the swash plate angle of the H.P fuel pump.
Explanation. Rolls Royce the Jet Engine Pages 98 - 102 refer.

487. To prevent compressor surge and overheating of the combustion chamber

due to over fuelling.
A. a barometric unit is fitted.
 B. a throttle unit is fitted.
C. an acceleration control unit is fitted.
Explanation. The acceleration unit automatically limits the rate of increase of fuel
flow until sufficient air is passing through the engine.

488. When FADEC is in normal mode.

A. channel A or B will be in command.
B. channel A will be in command.
C. channel B will be in command.
Explanation. Both channels are operating but either one can be in control if they
are both healthy.

489. Out of the following thrust lever resolver angles, which one is the forward
idle setting?.
A. 5 degrees.
B. 85 degrees.
C. 40 degrees.
Explanation. All FADEC engines will have reverse thrust settings therefore the
T.L.A of 0 degrees will be max reverse, and 85 will be max forward therefore 40
is the idle figureure.

490. Trimming is a term applied to adjusting the.

A. idle speed and maximum thrust.
B. fuel specific gravity.
C. part trim stop.
Explanation. Dale Crane Dictionary of Aeronautical Terms 3rd edition Refers.

491. Fuel boost pumps are cooled using.

A. ram air.
B. Fuel pumps do not require cooling.
C. fuel.
Explanation. Fuel pumps, of any type usually use the fuel they are pumping to cool
the bearings.
492. Baffles in a rigid fuel tank.
A. help prevent micro-biological corrosion.
B. strengthen the tank structure.
C. prevent surge.
Explanation. This question was definitely asked in module 15- it should be in
module 11!!.

493. In a FADEC system, what does the E.E.C measure along with RPM ?.
A. Pressure and Temperature.
B. Pressure.
C. Temperature.
Explanation. Normally the E.E.C reads as a minimum To Po Ps3 and T25.

494. In a FADEC system, how are the power supply windings for channel A and
Channel B wound?.
A. Two independent generators.
B. On one generator with 2 separate windings.
C. One generator and one winding.
Explanation. The engine alternator is a permanent magnet alternator with 2
windings within the stator housing. There may also be a third winding that is used
to indicate H.P RPM (H.P tachometer) within the same housing.

sometimes an arrow showing direction of flow embossed on the casing.

499. E.E.C receives signals from RPM sensor and.

A. pressure sensors.
B. pressure and temperature sensors.
C. temperature sensors.
Explanation. Modern FADEC systems receive all three types of sensor but quite
often do not use the EGT signals for control.

500. When does E.E.C channel change over occur?.

A. On engine start up.
B. On engine shut down.
C. On fault.
Explanation. The E.E.C prepares for the changeover by resetting the E.E.C on
shut down, but does not actually do it until the next start. A simple single fault
(compared to a complete channel failure) will not cause a change over.
