- B.
Propeller blade pitch and temperature limiting.
- C.
Engine fuel flow and constant speed governing.
- D.
Temperature limiting and constant speed governing.
Correct Answer
A. Propeller blade pitch and engine fuel flow.Explanation
The throttle is responsible for coordinating the propeller blade pitch and engine fuel flow in the controllable pitch range. This means that the throttle controls the amount of fuel being delivered to the engine, which in turn affects the pitch of the propeller blades. By adjusting the pitch and fuel flow, the throttle helps to optimize the performance of the engine and propeller system.Rate this question:
-
- 30.
Constant speed can only occur when the throttle is positioned from
- A.
RVS to FLT IDLE.
- B.
RVS to GND IDLE.
- C.
GND IDLE to FLT IDLE.
- D.
FLT IDLE to TAKE OFF.
Correct Answer
D. FLT IDLE to TAKE OFF.Explanation
Constant speed can only occur when the throttle is positioned from FLT IDLE to TAKE OFF. This is because FLT IDLE is the lowest throttle position where the engine is running and producing enough power to maintain a constant speed. Moving the throttle from FLT IDLE to TAKE OFF increases the power output of the engine, allowing it to maintain a constant speed. The other options, RVS to FLT IDLE, RVS to GND IDLE, and GND IDLE to FLT IDLE, do not involve increasing the power output of the engine and therefore cannot result in a constant speed.Rate this question:

- C.
Engage the low pitch stop.
- D.
Engage the pitchlock ratchets.
Correct Answer
A. Increase blade angle.Explanation
During an overspeed condition in the alpha range on the 54H60-117 propeller, the flyweights move the governor pilot valve to meter hydraulic fluid. This action is taken to counteract the excessive speed and prevent further acceleration of the propeller. By metering hydraulic fluid, the flyweights increase the blade angle, which results in a higher pitch and reduces the propeller's rotational speed. Therefore, the correct answer is to increase the blade angle.Rate this question:

Above FLT IDLE.
- C.
At TAKE OFF.
- D.
At GND IDLE.
Correct Answer
B. Above FLT IDLE.Explanation
When attempting to unfeather the 54H60-117 propeller in flight, the throttle can be positioned at any throttle position. However, the correct answer is above FLT IDLE, indicating that the throttle should be set higher than the flight idle position. This is because unfeathering the propeller requires a higher power setting to provide the necessary oil pressure to move the feathering mechanism and restore the propeller to the normal operating position.Rate this question:

Which two cams on the alpha shaft control the 54H60–117 propeller unfeathering operation?
- A.
Speed set and beta follow-up.
- B.
Manual feather and beta set.
- C.
Speed set and pressure cutout backup switch.
- D.
Manual feather and pressure cutout backup switch.
Correct Answer
B. Manual feather and beta set.Explanation
The correct answer is Manual feather and beta set. The 54H60-117 propeller unfeathering operation is controlled by two cams on the alpha shaft, namely the Manual feather and beta set. These cams work together to initiate and control the unfeathering process of the propeller. The Manual feather cam allows the pilot to manually initiate the unfeathering operation, while the beta set cam adjusts the propeller blade angle to the desired position for unfeathering.Rate this question:

On the 54H60–117 propeller, what is the minimum psi required to release the feather latches and allow the piston to move forward?
- A.
200
- B.
400
- C.
600
- D.
800
Correct Answer
A. 200Explanation
The minimum psi required to release the feather latches and allow the piston to move forward on the 54H60-117 propeller is 200.Rate this question:

On the 54H60–117 propeller, after the NTS system actuator rod positions the mechanical linkage in the valve housing when a negative torque condition occurs, what component is shifted?
- A.
Pilot valve.
- B.
Beta set cam.
- C.
Speed set cam.
- D.
Feather actuating valve.
Correct Answer
D. Feather actuating valve.Explanation
When a negative torque condition occurs on the 54H60-117 propeller, the NTS system actuator rod positions the mechanical linkage in the valve housing. This movement causes the feather actuating valve to shift, allowing the propeller blades to move into the feather position. Therefore, the correct answer is the feather actuating valve.Rate this question:

Besides maintaining the optimum blade phase angle relationship between all propellers, synchrophasing also
- A.
Keeps the propellers rotating 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 blade angle.
Correct Answer
A. Keeps the propellers rotating at the same speed.Explanation
Synchrophasing is a technique used to maintain the optimum blade phase angle relationship between all propellers in an aircraft. This means that all the propellers are rotating at the same speed. By keeping the propellers rotating at the same speed, it helps to reduce noise and vibration, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall performance of the aircraft.Rate this question:
