What is the composition of JP-8 fuel?
- A.
Gasoline and kerosene
- B.
Gasoline and diesel fuel
- C.
Diesel fuel and kerosene
- D.
Diesel fuel and aviation gasoline
Correct Answer
A. Gasoline and keroseneExplanation
JP-8 fuel is a type of jet fuel commonly used by the military. It is a mixture of gasoline and kerosene. Gasoline provides high energy content and helps in starting the engine, while kerosene provides stability and lubrication. This combination allows JP-8 fuel to have a higher flash point and lower freezing point compared to regular gasoline, making it suitable for use in military aircraft operating in various climates and conditions.Rate this question:

At room temperature, how many times longer will it take water to settle out of JP-8 than out of gasoline?
- A.
Two
- B.
Three
- C.
Four
- D.
Five
Correct Answer
C. FourExplanation
At room temperature, it will take water four times longer to settle out of JP-8 than out of gasoline. This suggests that JP-8 has a higher viscosity compared to gasoline, which means it is thicker and flows more slowly. Therefore, it takes more time for the water to separate and settle out of JP-8 compared to gasoline.Rate this question:

Jet aircraft operating at moderately high altitudes increase the fuel system's susceptibility to an icing condition, further aggravated by the
- A.
Lower viscosity of jet fuels
- B.
Higher viscosity of jet fuels
- C.
Lower viscosity of free water
- D.
Higher viscosity of free water
Correct Answer
B. Higher viscosity of jet fuelsExplanation
Jet aircraft operating at moderately high altitudes increase the fuel system's susceptibility to an icing condition. The higher viscosity of jet fuels contributes to this increased susceptibility. When the fuel has a higher viscosity, it is thicker and less likely to flow freely. This can lead to the formation of ice crystals or ice particles in the fuel system, which can block fuel lines or clog filters. These ice formations can disrupt the fuel flow, potentially causing engine failure or other operational issues. Therefore, the higher viscosity of jet fuels can worsen the icing condition in the fuel system of jet aircraft operating at moderately high altitudes.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. FlameoutExplanation
The main fuel control in a jet engine is responsible for regulating the fuel flow to ensure the engine operates smoothly and efficiently. By carefully controlling the fuel-air mixture, the main fuel control helps prevent a flameout, which is the sudden extinguishing of the engine's flame. A flameout can occur due to various factors such as fuel starvation or excessive airflow disturbances. Therefore, the main fuel control plays a crucial role in maintaining a consistent and reliable combustion process, reducing the risk of a flameout and ensuring the engine's safe acceleration.Rate this question:

What are microscopic metallic particles in the oil system called?
- A.
Wear metals
- B.
Friction metals
- C.
Precious metals
- D.
Transformation metals
Correct Answer
A. Wear metalsExplanation
Microscopic metallic particles in the oil system are referred to as wear metals. These particles are generated due to the friction and wear of metal components in the system, such as engine parts. The presence of wear metals in the oil can indicate the level of wear and tear happening within the machinery, allowing for early detection of potential issues and the need for maintenance or repairs.Rate this question:

Increased friction between moving parts in the oil system
- A.
Accelerates the rear of wear, decreasing the production of wear metal particles
- B.
Accelerates the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles
- C.
Slows the rate of wear, decreasing the production of wear metal particles
- D.
Slows the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particles
Correct Answer
B. Accelerates the rate of wear, increasing the production of wear metal particlesExplanation
Increased friction between moving parts in the oil system leads to more wear and tear on those parts. This increased wear accelerates the rate at which the parts degrade, leading to an increase in the production of wear metal particles.Rate this question:

During an OAP sample collection, using your mouth to draw oil up into the plastic tube could result in
- A.
Insufficient oil collection
- B.
Contaminated samples
- C.
A minor stomach ache
- D.
Paralysis or death
Correct Answer
D. Paralysis or deathExplanation
Using your mouth to draw oil up into the plastic tube during an OAP sample collection could result in paralysis or death. This is because oil may contain toxic substances that can be harmful if ingested. Ingesting contaminated oil can lead to severe health consequences, including paralysis or even fatality. Therefore, it is important to follow proper safety protocols and use appropriate tools for sample collection to avoid such risks.Rate this question:
