Module 14.

Propulsion
1) A fuel flow transmitter requires a motor or a synchronous motor to have a
constant voltage within small tolerances
constant frequency within small tolerances
low EMF as it is immersed in fuel
2) An increase in fuel flow through the impeller type fuel flow transmitter is measured by
drum lags impeller
impeller lags turbine
decreasing angle between the two
3) An aircraft flying at 800mph would typically use
turbojet
turbofan
turboprop
4) A thermocouple indication is taken from the
hot junction
cold junction
difference between the hot junction and the cold junction
5) An EPR system reads slightly over 1, this would mean
the transmitter datum point has moved and needs replacing
no action required this is normal
the indicator needs re-calibrating back to 1
6) Propeller torque is analogous to
engine RPM
shaft horsepower
propeller RPM
7) The variable bleed valves on a engine at start up is
open
closed
modulating
8) The fuel metering unit has direct inputs via
only the EEC
the EEC and the fire control handle
the EEC, fire control handle and the engine master switch
9) When using a test set to test an EGT thermocouple circuit
no compensation for ambient temperature is required

 only consider ambient temperature compensation if the ambient temperature is over 20oC
always compensate for ambient temperature
10) EPR is a ratio of

P1 to P4
P1 to Pfan
P1 to P6
11) in a flow type fuel system, fuel shutoff is done by
mechanical ball valve
fcu torque motor
l.p fuel cock
12) How is fuel flow varied in a variable displacement pressure type pump?
Alter the camplate angle
Remote servo pressure
Direct cable to camplate
13) A short circuit in a d.c ratiometer will give
max scale reading
zero scale reading
min scale reading
14) Propeller speed is measured from
a slip ring pulse probe
a tachometer on the LP turbine shaft
a pulse probe at the engine side of the reduction gear
15) How are the combustion chambers cooled?
By l.p compressor air
By h.p compressor air
By fan pressure air
16) Oil systems consists of
2 systems
3 systems
4 systems

17) The inlet of a turbo fan is

divergent
convergent
convergent-divergent
18) Manifold pressure is measured
at inlet port above and below ambient conditions
at inlet port above and below standard atmosphere at sea level
at inlet port indicating boost pressure
19) When using a test set to test an EGT thermocouple circuit
no compensation for ambient temperature is required
only consider ambient temperature compensation if the ambient temperature is over 20oC
always compensate for ambient temperature
20) The inlet of a turbo fan is
divergent
convergent
convergent-divergent
