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
