AMT GENERAL Flashcards
The elevators of a conventional airplane are used to provide rotation about the :
lateral axis
An airplane is controlled directionally about its vertical axis by the:
Rudder
If the control stick of an aircraft with properly rigged flight controls is moved rearward and to the left the right aileron will move:
down and the elevator will move up
The chord of a wing is measured from:
leading edge to trailing edge
The purpose of the vertical fin is to provide
directional stability
The stresses that acts on an aircraft are;
compression, tension , torsion , bending , shear
The acute angle formed by the chord line of a wing and the relative wind is known as the:
angle of attack
When the lift of an airfoil increases the drag will:
increase
The purpose of wing slats is to:
reduce stalling speed
What is the smallest size cable that may be used in aircraft primary control system
1/8
The potential difference between two conductors which are insulated from each other is measured
volt
What unit is used to express electrical power?
watt
The useful load of an aircraft consist of the
crew, usable fuel passenger and cargo
Which of the following can provide the empty weight of an aircraft if the aircraft’s weight and balance records become lost, destroyed or otherwise inaccurate?
reweighing the aircraft
What type of measurement is used to designate the arm in weight and balance computation?
distance
What should be clearly indicated on the aircraft weighing form?
weighing points
When dealing with weight and balance of an aircraft the term “maximum weight” is interpreted to mean the maximum
authorized weight of an aircraft and its contents
when towing a large aircraft-
a person should be in the cockpit to operate the brakes
When taxiing an airplane with a quartering frail wind the elevators and
upwind aileron should be held in the down position
When taxiing an aircraft, a flashing red light from the control tower means
move clear of the runway/taxiway immediately
When taxiing an aircraft, a flashing white light from the control tower means
return to starting point
A fuel that vaporizes too readily may cause
vapor lock
Characteristics of aviation gasoline are
high heat value, high volatility
When an anodized surface coating is damaged in service, it can be partially restored by
chemical surface treatment
A primary cause of intergranular corrosion is
improper heat treatment
Corrosion should be removed from magnesium parts with a
Stiff non metallic brush
Which of these materials is the most cathodic
stainless steel
Where is the record of compliance with airworthiness directives or manufacturer’s service bulletins normally indicated ?
aircraft maintenance record
When a 100 hour inspection is completed. If the separate maintenance records for the airframe power plants and propeller are maintained where is the entry for the inspection recorded?
in each record
Who is responsible for making the entry in the maintenance record after an annual 100 hour or progressive inspection?
the person approving or disapproving for return of service
