26 Flashcards
On aircraft equipped with automatic GPWS voice callouts of radio altitude and minimums, the “minimums, minimums” voice alert occurs when the aircraft arrives at the decision height set on:
Either the captain’s or first officer’s radio altimeter, whichever is higher
With regards to the operation of TCAS, an intruder with a mode A transponder will be:
Displayed as other traffic or proximate traffic or as a traffic advisory
Jet A/C max rate of climb is determined by:
Excess thrust over drag
Where would you expect to find the highest gas pressure in a jet engine?
In the diffuser
“Engine core” of a gas turbine engine refers to:
That part turned by the starter motor
A turbojet engine in comparison with a turbofan engine has:
No bypass air
Engine efficiency increases with altitude because:
The lower ambient temperature results in greater temperature rise through the engine
The ram recovery at very high airspeeds is less than expected. This is because of:
Temperature rise
Pressure through the combustion chambers:
Falls steadily
To prevent excessive fluid loss in a hydraulic system you would incorporate a?
Hydraulic fuse
With regard to gas flows through an axial compressor, which one of the
following statements is correct?
The stator blades will cause an increase of pressure and temperature and a
decrease in velocity
In a gas turbine engine having six parallel wired temperature thermocouples the exhaust gas temperature indicator will show the:
Average of the temperature measured by the individual thermocouples
The nozzle guide vane in a gas turbine engine:
Are usually of variable angle to correct the angle of attack
When the thrust lever of a gas turbine engine is advanced the:
Power of the turbine is in excess of the compressor load during the acceleration
period
