Correct Answer
A. OrificeExplanation
An orifice is a pressure and flow control device that restricts airflow and protects aircraft engines against air starvation. It acts as a small opening or hole in a pipe or valve, which reduces the flow rate of air passing through it. By restricting the airflow, the orifice helps maintain proper pressure levels and prevents excessive air from entering the engine, which could lead to damage or inefficiency. Therefore, an orifice is an essential component in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of aircraft engines.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Outlet pressureExplanation
The amount of airflow through a pressure limiter is affected by the inlet pressure, inlet temperature, and differential pressure. However, the outlet pressure does not affect the airflow. The pressure limiter is designed to regulate the pressure on the outlet side, ensuring that it remains constant regardless of changes in the inlet pressure, temperature, or differential pressure. Therefore, the outlet pressure is not a factor in determining the amount of airflow through the pressure limiter.Rate this question:
-

The butterfly valve of the air-conditioning pressure limiter is open when
- A.
The upper limiter is compressed
- B.
There is not enough pressure applied to the system
- C.
A force is applied downward on the actuating diaphram
- D.
The down stream pressure port receives 70 pounds per min airflow
Correct Answer
B. There is not enough pressure applied to the systemExplanation
When there is not enough pressure applied to the system, the butterfly valve of the air-conditioning pressure limiter is open. This suggests that the valve is designed to open when the system does not have sufficient pressure, allowing airflow to continue and preventing any potential damage or malfunction.Rate this question:

The flow control valve control in the bleed air air-conditioning system controls flow by maintaining a constant differential pressure between
- A.
Inlet and throat of venturi
- B.
Outlet and inlet of venturi
- C.
Outlet and throat of venturi
- D.
Inlet, outlet, and throat of venturi
Correct Answer
A. Inlet and throat of venturiExplanation
The flow control valve in the bleed air air-conditioning system controls flow by maintaining a constant differential pressure between the inlet and throat of the venturi. This means that the valve adjusts the flow of air in order to keep the pressure difference between the inlet and throat of the venturi constant. By doing so, the valve ensures that the air flows smoothly and at the desired rate through the system.Rate this question:

You preform and aircraft bleed air system leakage check using pressure decay method with aircraft engine: the time for the pressure to drop 30 psi took 11 seconds.this indicates that the system leakage test
- A.
Needs to be repeated
- B.
Results are dangerouly excessive
- C.
Results are below allowable limits
- D.
Results are not dangerously excessive
Correct Answer
D. Results are not dangerously excessiveExplanation
Based on the given information, the time it took for the pressure to drop 30 psi was 11 seconds. Since the question states that the pressure decay method was used for the leakage check, a longer time for the pressure to drop would indicate a higher level of leakage. However, in this case, the time of 11 seconds suggests that the leakage is not dangerously excessive. Therefore, the correct answer is that the results are not dangerously excessive.Rate this question:

- A.
Rapid expansion
- B.
Regulated air flow
- C.
Internal compression
- D.
Regulated air pressure
Correct Answer
A. Rapid expansionExplanation
The rapid expansion of air causes the moisture to condense and separate from the conditioned air. When the air expands rapidly, its temperature drops, leading to the condensation of moisture. This condensed moisture is then removed by the water separators, which can remove 70 to 85 percent of the accumulated moisture in the conditioned air.Rate this question:

- A.
Turbine over speed switch
- B.
Cabin temperature limiter
- C.
Manual temperature limiter
- D.
Pneumatic-thermal overheat switch
Correct Answer
A. Turbine over speed switchExplanation
The turbine over speed switch is responsible for activating the warning light in the cockpit if the duct pressure on a fighter aircraft's air-conditioning system becomes excessive. This switch is designed to detect when the turbine speed exceeds a safe limit, indicating a potential problem with the system. When this happens, the switch triggers the warning light to alert the pilot of the issue.Rate this question:

The position of this valve depends on temperature of conditioned air going to the crew compartment.
- A.
Cabin air inlet
- B.
Ground cooling ejector
- C.
Water separator bypass
- D.
Cabin dual-temperature mixing
Correct Answer
D. Cabin dual-temperature mixingExplanation
The cabin dual-temperature mixing valve is responsible for regulating the temperature of the conditioned air that is supplied to the crew compartment. It adjusts the position of the valve based on the temperature of the air, ensuring that the air entering the cabin is at the desired temperature. This valve is crucial in maintaining a comfortable and controlled environment for the crew members.Rate this question:

Before the conditioned air enters the crew area of a fight aircraft, it goes through a final cooling stage in the
- A.
Expansion turbine
- B.
Compressor turbine
- C.
Primary heat exchanger
- D.
Secondary heat exchanger
Correct Answer
A. Expansion turbineExplanation
The conditioned air in a flight aircraft goes through a final cooling stage in the expansion turbine. This turbine helps to reduce the temperature of the air before it enters the crew area. The expansion turbine works by expanding the air, which causes it to cool down. This cooling stage is important to ensure that the air entering the crew area is at a comfortable temperature for the crew members. The expansion turbine is therefore the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:

This component removes excessive moister from conditioned air, preventing it from reaching the cockpit of a fighter aircraft
- A.
Defog valve
- B.
Anti-icing valve
- C.
Water separator
- D.
Cabin dual-temperature mixing valve
Correct Answer
C. Water separatorExplanation
A water separator is a component that removes excessive moisture from conditioned air. In the context of a fighter aircraft, this is important to prevent the moisture from reaching the cockpit. Excessive moisture can cause fogging on the cockpit windshield, which can obstruct the pilot's vision and compromise safety. Therefore, a water separator is necessary to ensure clear visibility for the pilot and maintain optimal conditions inside the cockpit.Rate this question:
