When a negative torque condition occurs on the 54H60-91 propeller, the NTS system actuator rod positions the mechanical linkage in the valve housing. In this situation, the component that is shifted is the feather valve.Rate this question:

Besides maintaing the optimum blade phase angle relationship between all propellers, what else does sychrophhasing do?
- A.
Keeps the propellers rotation at the same speed
- B.
Keeps the propellers rotating at different speeds
- C.
Prevents the pilot valve from shifting to increase blade angle
- D.
Prevents the pilot valve from shifting to decrease balde angle
Correct Answer
A. Keeps the propellers rotation at the same speedExplanation
Synchronizing, or synchrophasing, is a system that ensures all propellers on a multi-engine aircraft rotate at the same speed. By maintaining the optimum blade phase angle relationship between all propellers, synchrophasing eliminates any speed differences and ensures that all propellers rotate at the same speed. This helps to reduce vibrations, improve efficiency, and enhance overall performance of the aircraft.Rate this question:

The fuel governing check switches are used to reset the propeller governor t what percentage of rpm in the alpha range?
- A.
100%
- B.
102%
- C.
104%
- D.
106%
Correct Answer
D. 106%Explanation
The fuel governing check switches are used to reset the propeller governor to 106% of RPM in the alpha range. This means that when the switches are activated, the propeller governor will adjust the fuel flow to increase the RPM of the propeller to 106% of its normal operating speed. This may be necessary in certain situations where additional power is required, such as during takeoff or climbing.Rate this question:

Where is the pickup portion of the pulse generator located?
- A.
No. 1 blade
- B.
Pump housing
- C.
Valve housing
- D.
Deicer contact ring holder assembly
Correct Answer

The pulse generator inputs to the synchrophaser unit are used only
- A.
To drive the feedback potentiometer
- B.
As a backup for throttle anticipation
- C.
When a master propeller is selected
- D.
To indicate actual rpm
Correct Answer
C. When a master propeller is selectedExplanation
When a master propeller is selected, the pulse generator inputs to the synchrophaser unit are used. This suggests that the pulse generator inputs are specifically designed to synchronize the propellers of multiple engines.Rate this question:
