What could result from using an over-rich mixture: (a) excessive fuel consumption, rough running, power loss (b) high temperatures, excessive fuel usage, spark plug fouling (c) deterioration, spark plug fouling Tha 2. What could result from running an engine with an over-lean mixture? (a) overheating, pre-ignition, detonation, loss of power (b) overheating, excessive oil consumption (c) all of the above Tha 3. To ensure safety when leaving an aircraft parked, the following considerations apply (a) park into wind and chock the wheels (b) as above as well as wings and tail rope tie down (c) park facing into wind, park brake on, wings tied Amb 4. An aircraft has a mixture control because: (a) it controls the power output of the engine (b) it prevents too much air getting into system (c) it is used to maintain the correct fuel / air ratio Tmc 5. The yellow, green and white arc on the airspeed indicator denotes: (a) caution range, normal operating range, gear range (b) caution range, normal operating and flap range (c) caution range, normal operating and landing range Amb 6. The first indication of carburettor icing on an aircraft fitted with a fixed pitch propeller will be: (a) decreased rpm at a level flight throttle setting (b) loss of manifold pressure at same throttle setting (c) increase of rpm at a level flight throttle setting Tma 7. The functions of a battery are: (a) to provide initial power and emergency power (b) to provide initial power and spark energy (c) to provide emergency power from alternator Tha 8. Detonation which can cause severe damage to an engine is caused by: (a) too little fuel and too high air temperature

(b) flying too fast at full throttle (c) using a low grade of fuel, or over-lean mixture and high manifold pressure Thc 9. Why does the power of a normally aspirated engine decrease as the aircraft gains height? (a) due to decrease in density with height, less air intake (b) the mixture becomes leaner (c) the air becomes cooler Tha 10. If detonation is suspected: (a) slow aircraft down, enrichen mixture, throttle back (b) enrichen mixture, throttle back, increase airspeed (c) use higher grade of fuel, enrichen mixture, fly low Amb 11. A flight control lock is used: (a) to lock the stick in a fixed position while the aircraft is parked (b) to lock the stick in a fixed position for flying straight (c) to lock the trim tabs into a fixed position Ala 12. The most usual form of fuselage construction in training aircraft where the skin covers a light structure and carries most of the stress is called: (a) semi-monocque (b) space frame (c) geodetic Tma 13. What effect would the application of carburettor heat have during take-off? (a) none (b) prevent carburettor icing and help warm up the engine (c) less power as warm air will enter the cylinders Amc 14. Engine oil's main function is: (a) keeping the engine cool and clean (b) lubricating and cooling (c) lubrication and hydraulic function Tmb 15. The fuselages of modern training aircraft are semi-monocoque. This means: (a) the geodetic frame carries most of the stress (b) the skin carries most of the stress

(c) all of the above Tmb 16. A nose-wheel shimmy can be caused mainly by: (a) unbalanced nose-wheel (b) low type pressure in the nose-wheel (c) defective shimmy damper and or failed torque link Amc 17. How would you check that your aircraft brakes were serviceable? (a) pedal pressure and retardation effect (b) sufficient pedal pressure and braking effect (c) external inspection and sufficient braking effect Amc 18. Why are dual ignition systems fitted to aircraft engines? (a) safety factor and easier starting (b) as above and efficient burning of fuel / air mix (c) to ensure even running of cylinders on both sides Tmb 19. How will climbing too steeply affect the engine? (a) oil pressure will rise, oil temperature will decrease (b) might cause engine to overheat due to less air cooling (c) the slower prop rpm will cause engine to overheat Amb 20. Oil temperature is controlled by: (a) mixture setting and grade of oil (b) airspeed, air temperature (c) airspeed, power setting, air temperature and mixture Amc
