Questions and Answers
- 1.
Oil pressure operating range
- A.
10-100 PSI
- B.
11-90 PSI
- C.
10-90 PSI
- D.
11-100 PSI
Correct Answer
B. 11-90 PSIExplanation
The correct answer is 11-90 PSI because this range represents the acceptable operating pressure for oil in a system. The lower limit of 11 PSI ensures that there is enough pressure to properly lubricate the engine components, while the upper limit of 90 PSI prevents excessive pressure that could cause damage to the system. This range allows for optimal performance and protection of the engine.Rate this question:

Oil pressure Idle range
- A.
13-35 PSI
- B.
10-30 PSI
- C.
11-90 PSI
- D.
13-30 PSI
Correct Answer
A. 13-35 PSIExplanation
The correct answer is 13-35 PSI. This range represents the ideal oil pressure for an engine at idle. Oil pressure is important because it ensures proper lubrication of engine components. If the pressure is too low, there may be insufficient lubrication, leading to increased wear and potential damage. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, it can cause damage to seals and gaskets. Therefore, a range of 13-35 PSI is considered optimal for maintaining engine performance and longevity.Rate this question:

In extreme cold, oil pressure may do what?
- A.
Peak to full scale
- B.
Remain at 0 PSI
- C.
Fluctuate from 11-90 PSI
- D.
Stay at a steady 35 PSI
Correct Answer
A. Peak to full scaleExplanation
In extreme cold temperatures, the viscosity of oil increases, causing it to become thicker and less fluid. This increased viscosity can lead to a temporary increase in oil pressure, causing it to peak to the maximum level indicated on the pressure gauge, also known as full scale. This is because the thicker oil takes longer to flow through the engine, creating higher pressure readings. Once the engine warms up and the oil thins out, the pressure will return to normal levels.Rate this question:
-

Low oil pressure warning light goes out at what PSI?
- A.
35 PSI
- B.
90 PSI
- C.
13 PSI
- D.
11 PSI
Correct Answer
C. 13 PSIExplanation
The low oil pressure warning light goes out at 13 PSI because this is the minimum pressure at which the engine is considered to have sufficient oil pressure. If the pressure drops below this level, it indicates a potential problem with the engine's lubrication system, and the warning light will remain on to alert the driver. Therefore, once the oil pressure reaches or exceeds 13 PSI, the warning light will turn off, indicating that the engine has adequate oil pressure.Rate this question:
-
- 5.
Low oil pressure light illuminates at what PSI?
- A.
11 PSI
- B.
35 PSI
- C.
90 PSI
- D.
13 PSI
Correct Answer
A. 11 PSIExplanation
The low oil pressure light illuminates at 11 PSI because this is the minimum pressure at which the engine can still be adequately lubricated. If the oil pressure drops below this level, it can cause damage to the engine components. Therefore, the low oil pressure light serves as a warning to the driver to address the issue and prevent potential engine damage.Rate this question:
-
- 6.
Low oil pressure light will also illuminate when what is clogged?
- A.
Hydraulic filters
- B.
Oil filters
- C.
Scavenge oil filters
- D.
Scavenge oil lines
Correct Answer
C. Scavenge oil filtersExplanation
The low oil pressure light will illuminate when the scavenge oil filters are clogged. Scavenge oil filters are responsible for removing debris and contaminants from the oil in the engine. When these filters become clogged, they can restrict the flow of oil and cause a drop in oil pressure. This drop in pressure triggers the low oil pressure light to come on, signaling a potential issue with the oil system.Rate this question:

What is the oil temperature at continuous operation?
- A.
161°C
- B.
160°C
- C.

Correct Answer
B. 160°CExplanation
The oil temperature at continuous operation is 160°C. This temperature is ideal for maintaining the proper viscosity and lubrication properties of the oil, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of the machinery or equipment. It is important to monitor and control the oil temperature within this range to prevent overheating and potential damage to the system.Rate this question:

- D.
400-800 PPH
Correct Answer
D. 400-800 PPHExplanation
The correct answer is 400-800 PPH. This range indicates the fuel flow rate at idle, which can vary depending on the specific aircraft and engine. Idle fuel flow typically falls within this range to ensure proper engine operation and fuel efficiency while the aircraft is stationary or operating at low speeds.Rate this question:
-

Fuel flow reading greater than 680 PPH before light goes out is the first indication of what?
- A.
Potential hot start
- B.
Potential engine failure
- C.
Incorrect gauge
- D.
Cold start
Correct Answer
A. Potential hot startExplanation
A fuel flow reading greater than 680 PPH before the light goes out indicates a potential hot start. This is because a hot start occurs when there is too much fuel being introduced into the combustion chamber, causing the engine to overheat. The high fuel flow reading suggests that there may be an issue with the fuel system, leading to a potential hot start.Rate this question:

- B.
50,000
- C.
60,000
- D.
80,000
Correct Answer
C. 60,000Explanation
When two engines are operating at TRT (Takeoff Rated Thrust), they should be shut down when the fuel quantity drops below 60,000. This threshold is likely determined based on the minimum fuel required to safely operate the engines and ensure sufficient power for takeoff. Falling below this fuel quantity could lead to a loss of engine power and potentially compromise the safety of the aircraft.Rate this question:

- D.
50% N1
Correct Answer
C. 25% N2Explanation
The given answer of "25% N2" suggests that the starter should not be re-engaged above 25% N2. This means that once the starter has reached 25% of its maximum speed, it should not be accelerated further. This could be due to various reasons such as preventing damage to the starter or ensuring a smooth and controlled start of the engine.Rate this question:

To operate the APU, the hydraulic accumulator needs to read what?
- A.
3000 +/- 250
- B.
3000 +/- 350
- C.
3000 +/- 500
- D.
2800 +/- 350
Correct Answer
