a. The portion of the fuel that is considered to be cargo
b. The trapped fuel in the fuel lines that cannot be drained out
c. The fuel still in the bottom of the tank that the engine cannot burn
d. The fuel in the tank when the tank is completely empty - ANS-c. The fuel still in the
bottom of the tank that the engine cannot burn
On twin engine airplanes with engines that both turn clockwise as the pilot views them,
which is the "critical engine"?
a. Left engine
b. Right engine
c. Neither engine is worse than the other one - ANS-a. Left engine
Which of the following is NOT a typical way to eliminate the left turning tendencies in a
single engine propeller driven aircraft?
a. Mount the engine so that it points slightly to the right
b. Offset the tail or rudder so they constantly pull the nose back to the right
c. Reduce the propeller angle on the descending blade - ANS-c. Reduce the propeller
angle on the descending blade
An unstable flight control surface has excess moment in what position?
a. Forward of the hinge point
b. Aft of the hinge point
c. Exactly on the hinge point - ANS-b. Aft of the hinge point
What is the problem with an unstable flight control?
a. The flight control is difficult for the pilot to move
b. The flight control does not return to neutral when the pilot releases the control input
c. The flight control causes excess drag and fuel consumption
d. The flight control may flutter and come off of the aircraft - ANS-d. The flight control
may flutter and come off of the aircraft
A check of the control surface balance in the maintenance shop on a work bench, as
opposed to a flight test, is considered to be which of the following
a. Static balance check
b. Maintenance balance check
c. Dynamic balance check
d. None of the above - ANS-a. Static balance check
Why are fabric flight controls lighter in the weight than the aluminum flight controls?
a. The fabric skin weighs a lot less than aluminum skin
b. The lighter weight fabric skin on the long arm behind the hinge point means much
less lead counterbalance weight on the short arm in front of the hinge point
c. The lead is placed in a different location on fabric flight controls that it is on aluminum
so more lead is needed due to the location difference - ANS-b. The lighter weight fabric
skin on the long arm behind the hinge point means much less lead counterbalance
weight on the short arm in front of the hinge point
Which of the primary flight controls needs to be balanced?
a. Elevator
b. Rudder
c. Aileron
d. All of the above - ANS-d. All of the above
What do we need in order to be able to do a static balance check instead of a dynamic
balance check?
a. A manual with procedures explaining how to check the balance
b. Approval from the FAA field office allowing substitution
c. A table or chart with the balance limits
d. Both a and c - ANS-d. Both a and c
Understand Cable Tension vs. Ambient Temperature charts - ANS-60 pounds on a 100
degree day. Find 100 degrees on the left of the chart and follow that until you reach the
bold slope line. Draw a point. Under the point there will be a + or - #. For this example
+7 is under the point, so we will add 7 to 60 for the answer 67.
Understand how to read Tension meters - ANS-How to use : Find the diameter given on
the table and follow the numbers under that until you find the number on the tension
meter. Follow that left of the table to the column that reads Cable Tension (LBS) and the
number in the column in line with your cable tension meter number is the answer. [Show Less]
