Correct Answer is. bonding, continuity, insulation, functional.
Explanation. Code to remember, B C I F.
Question Number. When testing thermocouples using a test set the ambient temperature.
Option A. never needs to be considered.
Option B. is considered every time.
Option C. is only considered when temperatures of 20°C or above.
Correct Answer is. is considered every time.
Explanation. AL/10-3 11.11.1. To test the system the test set has to be trimmed for ambient
temperature, as the system when in operation is adjusted for ambient temperature by the
compensating resistor. This is clearly stated in the B 737 AMM.
Question Number. Electronic test equipment for fuel tank contents systems usually
incorporate variable.
Option A. resistors.
Option B. inductors.
Option C. capacitors.
Correct Answer is. capacitors.
Explanation. NIL.
Question Number. Before using a bonding tester, the 6 foot lead has the two prongs
shorted together with a piece of metal. What would the indicator read?.
Option A. Full scale left.
Option B. Full scale right.
Option C. Zero at the centre.
Correct Answer is. Full scale right.
Explanation. Leaflet 9-1 3.10.2 a Infinity is full scale to the right.
Question Number. When using a megger to test insulation resistance, capacitive filters
should be disconnected for what reason?.
Option A. Remove the risk of damage to the megger.
Option B. Remove the spurious readings caused by the capacitors charging and discharging.
Option C. Prevent damage to the filters.
Correct Answer is. Prevent damage to the filters.
Explanation. Leaflet 9-1 4.4.4 e AandP Mechanics General Handbook Pg 351.
Question Number. When carrying out a serviceability check on a bonding tester - short
together the three prongs of both probes and ensure which of the following?.
Option A. The meter reads 0.1 ohm.
Option B. A zero reading.
Option C. A full scale reading is obtained.
Correct Answer is. A zero reading.
Explanation. Leaflet 9-1 3.10.2 (b).
Question Number. If an insulation resistance tester is operated and the leads are
suspended in free air, what will the meter read?.
Option A. Zero.
Option B. Mid scale - it is a ratiometer movement and there is no current flowing in the external
circuit.
Option C. Infinity.
Correct Answer is. Infinity.
Explanation. NIL.
Question Number. When using a digital meter to test a diode, a correct operation of the
diode is indicated by a volt drop of.
Option A.
Option B.
Option C.
Correct Answer is.
Explanation. Forward voltage drop of a diode is 0.2V (germanium) or 0.6V (silicon).
Question Number. To check that the ident pulse is being generated from an ATC
transponder,.
Option A. select an ATC channel and check the morse code.
Option B. select ident and check the indication on the instrument panel.
Option C. press the ident and monitor the indication on the ramp test set.
Correct Answer is. press the ident and monitor the indication on the ramp test set.
Explanation. The ident is a button on the transponder panel, which, when pressed, causes the
indication on the ATCs radar screen to 'bloom'.
Question Number. A pressure gauge is fitted to a Dead Weight Tester. The piston area is
accurate what pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI) will it read?.
Option A.
Option B.
Option C.
Correct Answer is.
Explanation. Pressure = Force / Area = 5/0.25 = 20 PSI.
Question Number. A fuel calibration test set when used to check an aircraft with half a fuel
load is connected.
Option A. to gauge with fuel level in parallel.
Option B. to gauge with fuel level capacitance.
Option C. to gauge with fuel level in series.
Correct Answer is. to gauge with fuel level in series.
Explanation. The test set is connected in series with the fuel level conditioner.
Question Number. When using transistorized test equipment, what should the output be?.
Option A. Not affected by impedance.
Option B. High impedance.
Option C. Low impedance.
Correct Answer is. Low impedance.
Explanation. Transistorised equipment generally has a high input impedance and a low output
impedance.
Question Number. To read the transponder coding from an aircraft's transponder you.
Option A. use the code signal and a chart to determine the signal.
Option B. use a ATC600 test set.
Option C. use the output on the flight deck.
Correct Answer is. use a ATC600 test set.
Explanation. Jeppesen Aircraft Radio Systems - Powell Page 136/7.
