What item prevents foreign objects from holding the bypass valve open in a dual-impeller pump?
-
An inlet screen
-
An in-line filter
-
A one-way check valve
-
A two-way check valve
Correct Answer
A. An inlet screenExplanation
An inlet screen prevents foreign objects from holding the bypass valve open in a dual-impeller pump. The purpose of an inlet screen is to filter out any debris or foreign objects that may be present in the fluid being pumped. By capturing these objects, the screen prevents them from entering the pump and potentially interfering with the operation of the bypass valve. This ensures that the bypass valve can function properly and maintain the desired flow rate without any obstructions.Rate this question:

You are troubleshooting a malfunction of the crossfeed system on a tanker aircraft when you determine the is no pressure available to route fuel to the crossfeed manifold. The most probable cause of this malfunction is
-
A malfunctioning boost pump.
-
FOD stuck in a shutoff valve.
-
An inoperative pressure transmitter.
-
A stuck open check valve.
Correct Answer
A. A malfunctioning boost pump.Explanation
The most probable cause of the malfunction in the crossfeed system is a malfunctioning boost pump. This is because the boost pump is responsible for providing the necessary pressure to route fuel to the crossfeed manifold. If the boost pump is not functioning properly, it would result in a lack of pressure and therefore prevent fuel from being routed to the crossfeed manifold.Rate this question:

The time required for sealant to cure to a point where it will not stick to a plastic film is the
-
Application time.
-
Cure time.
-
Drying time.
-
Tack-free time.
Correct Answer
A. Tack-free time.Explanation
The time required for sealant to cure to a point where it will not stick to a plastic film is referred to as the tack-free time. This is the period when the sealant has dried sufficiently to no longer have a sticky or tacky surface. It is an important measure as it indicates when the sealant can be handled or further processed without the risk of it adhering to other materials. The cure time, on the other hand, refers to the complete hardening or setting of the sealant, while the drying time simply indicates when the sealant has dried but may still be sticky. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is tack-free time.Rate this question:

When using a high power injection gun, which step will protect the structure?
-
Applying a temporary repair.
-
Providing an air escape.
-
Removing only one screw.
-
Using a low pressure injection gun.
Correct Answer
A. Providing an air escape.Explanation
Providing an air escape is the step that will protect the structure when using a high power injection gun. This is because the high power injection gun generates a significant amount of pressure, which can cause air pockets to form within the structure. These air pockets can lead to further damage or failure of the structure. By providing an air escape, the excess air can be released, preventing the formation of air pockets and reducing the risk of damage.Rate this question:
