Question 112 (in database)

If a blockage occurs in the oil cooler of an aircraft engine while the aircraft is in flight, a by-pass
valve allows the oil to by-pass the cooler. The by-pass functions on the principle of:

Question 113 (in database)
During a prolonged climb, you notice that the engine oil pressure is reducing and the oil
temperature rising. You discount any failure of the lubrication system. What, then, is the most
probable cause and remedy?
a) You are climbing at too high an airspeed causing overcooling of the lubrication system, thus
increasing oil viscosity. You reduce power and reduce airspeed.

b) The low airspeed ; d high engine speed associated with U'le-cllmb are reducing cooling of
the lubrication sysWm, thus lowering .Qh-iscosity. You reduce power and increase airspeed.

lowering oil viscosity. You increase power but red\!ce ai~ed.
d) The low airspeed and high engine speed associated with the climb are reducing cooling of
the lubrication system, thus increasing oil viscosity. You increase power and reduce airspeed.
