    The reference locations, which are in the vertical direction measured from a reference datum that is usually well below the aircraft, are called

    • Buttlines

    • Waterlines

    • Buttock stations

    • Fuselage stations

    Correct Answer
    A. Waterlines
    Explanation
    Waterlines are the reference locations that are measured vertically from a reference datum, which is typically below the aircraft. These reference lines are used to determine the water level and to assess the buoyancy and stability of the aircraft. They help in designing and constructing the aircraft's hull or body, ensuring that it is properly balanced and can float or move through water efficiently. Therefore, waterlines are the correct answer in this context.

    Atmospheric pressure at sea level is

    • 14.7 psi

    • 17.4 psi

    • 29.92 psi

    • 29.29 psi

    Correct Answer
    A. 14.7 psi
    Explanation
    The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi. This is the standard value for atmospheric pressure at sea level and is commonly used as a reference point for pressure measurements. Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a certain point and it decreases as altitude increases. At sea level, the weight of the air column above is the highest, resulting in a pressure of 14.7 psi.

    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because

    • They deliver low pressure

    • They have an integral compensator

    • The case drain will relieve high system pressure

    • There is no angle between the drive shaft and cylinder block

    Correct Answer
    A. They have an integral compensator
    Explanation
    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because they have an integral compensator. An integral compensator is a built-in mechanism in the pump that automatically adjusts the flow rate according to the pressure requirements of the system. This means that the pump can regulate its own pressure without the need for an additional device.

    In most hydraulic subsystems, the actuating units are connected

    • Intersectionally

    • In sequence

    • In parallel

    • Linearly

    Correct Answer
    A. In parallel
    Explanation
    In most hydraulic subsystems, the actuating units are connected in parallel. This means that the units are connected side by side, allowing them to operate independently of each other. This configuration ensures that each actuating unit can function simultaneously and contribute to the overall performance of the system. It also provides redundancy, as if one unit fails, the others can continue to operate. This parallel connection allows for efficient and effective hydraulic system operation.
