    • They form the inner exhaust cone during forward thrust operation

    • They retract around the engine exhaust cone, usually forming the rear section of the engine nacelle

    Correct Answer
    A. They retract around the engine exhaust cone, usually forming the rear section of the engine nacelle
    Explanation
    When the mechanical type blockage thrust reverser is not in use, the doors retract around the engine exhaust cone, typically forming the rear section of the engine nacelle. This means that the doors move back and enclose the engine exhaust cone, providing a streamlined shape to the rear of the engine nacelle.

    What are the two types of thrust reversers

    • Aerodynamic blockage and convergent-divergent

    • Aerodynamic blockage and mechanical blockage

    • Divergent- convergent and mechanical blockage

    • Convergent-divergent and mechanical blockage

    Correct Answer
    A. Aerodynamic blockage and mechanical blockage
    Explanation
    The correct answer is aerodynamic blockage and mechanical blockage. Thrust reversers are used in aircraft to redirect the thrust produced by the engines forward, helping to slow down the aircraft during landing. Aerodynamic blockage reversers work by blocking the exhaust flow and redirecting it forward, while mechanical blockage reversers physically block the exhaust flow using doors or buckets. Both types of reversers are commonly used in different aircraft models to achieve effective thrust reversal.

    On the F100 engine, the breather pressurizing valve is internally mounted in the 

    • Oil tank

    • Gearbox

    • Oil filter

    • Oil pump

    Correct Answer
    A. Gearbox
    Explanation
    The breather pressurizing valve on the F100 engine is internally mounted in the gearbox. This means that the valve is located within the gearbox itself. The purpose of the breather pressurizing valve is to regulate the pressure inside the gearbox, ensuring that it remains at the appropriate level. By being internally mounted, the valve can effectively control the pressure within the gearbox, which is important for the proper functioning and performance of the engine.

    On the T56 engine, which switch energizes the starter control valve to the OPEN Position

    • Ground start

    • Speed sensitive

    • Fuel enrichment

    • Secondary fuel pump pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Ground start
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ground start." Ground start is the switch on the T56 engine that energizes the starter control valve to the OPEN position. This switch is responsible for initiating the starting process of the engine by allowing fuel and air to enter the combustion chamber. It is called "ground start" because it is typically used when the aircraft is on the ground and not in flight.

    The F108 engine fuel pump contains a low pressure stage ( centrifugal boost stage) and a high pressure...

    • Gear stage

    • Gerotor stage

    • Axial boost stage

    • Sliding vane stage

    Correct Answer
    A. Gear stage
    Explanation
    The F108 engine fuel pump contains a gear stage. A gear stage is a type of pump stage that uses gears to increase the pressure of the fuel. Gears are meshed together and as they rotate, they create a pumping action that pressurizes the fuel. This stage is responsible for increasing the pressure of the fuel before it is delivered to the engine for combustion.

    Which type of oil system design places the oil cooler in the pressure subsystem?

    • Wet tank

    • Dry tank

    • Hot tank

    • Cold tank

    Correct Answer
    A. Hot tank
    Explanation
    The hot tank oil system design places the oil cooler in the pressure subsystem. This means that the oil cooler is located within the high-pressure area of the system, allowing it to cool the oil as it flows under pressure. This design helps to maintain optimal oil temperature and prevent overheating of the system. In contrast, the other options (wet tank, dry tank, and cold tank) do not specifically place the oil cooler in the pressure subsystem.
