Chapter 1.5 - Exam Review Flashcards
Which Engine control is used to control the power output of the Engine?
Throttle.
What Cockpit gauge provides the Pilot with a measure of power output? In indicating power output, what does this instrument actually measure?
- Tachometer.
- Revolutions per minute (RPM).
In a pre-takeoff ground check, what should happen after Carburettor Heat is selected if the Carburettor Heat is operating correctly?
Slight drop in RPM.
What is the purpose of an Oil Temperature gauge?
To indicate Oil Temperature is within specified limits.
True or False. Most Ignition Switches incorporate a START position to activate an electric Starter Motor.
True.
What supplies the Starter Motor with electrical power?
Battery.
What is the normal power source for the Aircraft’s electrical system?
Engine-driven Alternator.
True or False. One important function of an Aircraft’s Battery is to act as an emergency back-up source for the electrical system should the engine-driven Alternator fail?
True.
What action should the Pilot take if the Oil Pressure gauge does not register within 30 seconds (or longer in cold weather) of start-up?
Shut down the Engine to avoid damage.
Name the Flight Instruments which are pressure-operated (3)?
- Airspeed Indicator.
- Altimeter.
- Vertical Speed Indicator.
Name the Flight Instruments which are operated by spinning gyroscopes (3)?
- Attitude Indicator.
- Heading Indicator.
- Turn Coordinator.
What is indicated on the ASI?
Airspeed in Knots.
What does the Altimeter indicate when the pressure-setting subscale is set to QNH?
Altitude (AMSL).
Which gauge in the Cockpit gives an indication of the amount of suction available for the relevant gyro-operated Flight Instruments?
Suction Gauge.
If the subscale on an Altimeter is set higher than it should be, the Altimeter will indicate a (higher/lower) Altitude than actual?
Higher.
