Which position do you place the bleed down switches to during bleed down?
- A.
Open
- B.
Closed
- C.
Auto
Correct Answer
A. OpenExplanation
During the bleed down process, the bleed down switches should be placed in the "Open" position. This allows for the release of pressure from the system, allowing it to depressurize and bleed off any excess air or fluid. Placing the switches in the "Closed" position would prevent the release of pressure, while placing them in the "Auto" position would depend on the system's automatic control for the bleed down process.Rate this question:

If DC volt meter is readable, but flickering, is displayed voltage correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
If the DC volt meter is readable but flickering, it indicates that the voltage is fluctuating rapidly. However, it does not necessarily mean that the displayed voltage is incorrect. The flickering could be due to variations in the voltage source or interference in the meter's display. Therefore, the displayed voltage can still be considered correct, despite the flickering.Rate this question:

If propellers rotate when bleed air is applied, what must you do?
- A.
Nothing
- B.
Switch off bleed air
- C.
Panic
- D.
Emergency procedures
Correct Answer
B. Switch off bleed airExplanation
When propellers rotate when bleed air is applied, it indicates a potential issue with the bleed air system. Bleed air is used to power various aircraft systems, including the propellers. If the propellers are rotating unexpectedly, it suggests that the bleed air is causing an unintended activation of the propellers. To prevent any further damage or potential accidents, the correct action would be to switch off the bleed air. This will stop the flow of bleed air and prevent any further rotation of the propellers.Rate this question:

When do you place the APU alarm switch to on
- A.
Prior to APU start
- B.
After APU start
Correct Answer
A. Prior to APU startExplanation
The APU alarm switch should be placed to "on" prior to APU start. This is because the APU alarm system is designed to alert the crew in case of any abnormal conditions or malfunctions during the APU start process. By turning the APU alarm switch to "on" before starting the APU, the crew ensures that they will be immediately notified of any issues that may arise, allowing them to take appropriate action and prevent any potential damage or hazards.Rate this question:
