    Which of these allows normal operating speed of a hydraulic actuator in one direction while limiting speed in the other direction?

    • Automatic check valve.

    • Restrictor check valve

    • Bypass valve.

    • Relief valve.

    Correct Answer
    A. Restrictor check valve
    Explanation
    A restrictor check valve allows normal operating speed of a hydraulic actuator in one direction while limiting speed in the other direction. This is because the restrictor check valve has a built-in restriction that controls the flow of fluid. In one direction, the fluid can flow freely through the valve, allowing the actuator to move at its normal operating speed. However, in the other direction, the restriction in the valve slows down the flow of fluid, thus limiting the speed of the actuator in that direction.

    Movement about the verticle axis is called

    • Roll

    • Yaw

    • Crab

    • Pitch

    Correct Answer
    A. Yaw
    Explanation
    Yaw refers to the movement about the vertical axis. It is the rotation of an object or vehicle in a horizontal plane, causing it to turn left or right. In aviation, yaw is controlled by the rudder, which helps to change the direction of the aircraft. Yaw is different from roll, which is the rotation about the longitudinal axis, pitch, which is the rotation about the lateral axis, and crab, which refers to the sideways movement of an aircraft due to crosswinds.

    Which of these is attached to the trailing edge of a horizontal stabilizer?

    • Flap

    • Spoiler

    • Rudder

    • Elevator

    Correct Answer
    A. Elevator
    Explanation
    The elevator is attached to the trailing edge of a horizontal stabilizer. It is responsible for controlling the pitch of an aircraft, allowing it to climb or descend. By deflecting the elevator, the pilot can adjust the angle of attack of the aircraft, which in turn affects its lift and therefore its altitude. The elevator works in conjunction with the horizontal stabilizer to provide stability and control during flight.

    The majority of aircraft circuit protection devices are normally located 

    • In the aircraft cabin

    • In the nose wheel well

    • In the utility compartments

    • As far as possible from the unit being protected

    Correct Answer
    A. In the aircraft cabin
    Explanation
    Aircraft circuit protection devices are typically located in the aircraft cabin to ensure easy access and maintenance. Placing them in the cabin allows for quick identification and troubleshooting of any issues that may arise. Additionally, it ensures that these devices are protected from environmental factors such as extreme temperatures or moisture that could potentially affect their functionality.

    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because

    • They deliver low pressure

    • They have an integral compensator

    • The case drain relieves high system pressure

    • There is no angle between the drive shaft and cylinder block

    Correct Answer
    A. They have an integral compensator
    Explanation
    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because they have an integral compensator. This means that the pump itself is able to regulate and control the pressure within the system without the need for an additional device. The integral compensator adjusts the pump's displacement in response to changes in system pressure, ensuring that the desired pressure level is maintained. This eliminates the need for a separate pressure-regulating device, simplifying the system design and reducing the overall cost and complexity.
