A102 (Aircraft systems)

Question 1

fuselage

Answer 1

The GFRP (Glass fiber reinforced plastic) fuselage is of semi-monocoque construction the fire protection cover on the fire wall is made from special fire retarding ceramic fiber, that is covered by a stainless steel plate on the engine side

Question 2

wings

Answer 2

GFRB-wings are of semi- monocoque sandwich construction, and contain a CFRP-spar

Question 3

Empennage (tail)

Answer 3

The rudder and elevator are of semi-monocoque sandwich construction. The vertical stabilizer contains a di-pole antenna for the VHF radio equipment, the horizontal stabilizer contains an antenna for the NAV equipment (VOR)

Question 4

Flight Controls

Answer 4

Aileron, Vertical Fin, Horizontal stabilizer, elevator, rudder

Question 5

Landing gear

Answer 5

Fixed tricycle gear, aluminum spring main landing gear struts, steel tube gear strut with rubber elastomer spring, hydraulic disk brakes on main wheels, nose wheel caster in a 60 degree arc to provide allow steering with differential braking

Question 6

Powerplant (engine and propeller)

Answer 6

The primary function of the engine is to provide power to turn the propellar. It also generates electircal power, provides a vacuum source for some flight insrtuments, and prvides a source of heat for pilots and passengers

Question 7

Reciprocating engines

Answer 7

four strokes- intake, compression, power, exhaust (suck squeeze, push, blow

Question 8

Flight instruments

Answer 8

Magnetic compass, vacuum gauge, engine tachometer, airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, CDI, Turn Coordinator, heading indicator, vertical speed indicator

Question 9

engine indicators

Answer 9

Cylinder head temperature, fuel pressure, oil temperature, ampere meter, exhaust gas temperature, fuel quantity, oil pressure, volt meter

Question 10

Cylinder head temperature

Answer 10

Max 460 degrees, min 240 degrees (takeoff descent)

Question 11

fuel pressure indicator

Answer 11

3.5-16.5 psi

Question 12

oil pressure

Answer 12

minimum: 10 psi, max 100 psi normal operating range 30-60 psi. high oil temp w low oil pressure =BAD

Question 13

oil temperature

Answer 13

min 75 degrees F. Max 240 degrees F

Question 17

pneumatic system

Answer 17

air intake–>, Air filters–> Scat tubes(red/black tubes)–>
throttle body–>Alternative air Valve–> Heater–>
Plenum->Engine cylinders

Question 18

ignition system

Answer 18

ignition switch, magnetos, ignition leads, spark plugs(8)

Question 19

oil system

Answer 19

Wet oil sump–> oil lines–>oil filter–>oil cooler–>engine

Question 20

electrical

Answer 20

Battery/alternator–> electrical wiring–> Electrical Bus–>

Circuit breaker–> Electrical equipment

Question 21

pitot static(check ride question and good question)

Answer 21

works with airspeed(needs static and Pitot), altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and transponder mode C

Question 22

vacuum

Answer 22

vacuum pump–> vacuum regulator–>powers the attitude indicator, and heading indicator

Question 23

Warning

Answer 23

External Power unit(EPU)
