non of above
How is the APU shutdown?
by deselecting the START/STOP switchlight by pressing the APU FIRE PUSH switchlight by pushing an APU emergency stop button
Where is information about the APU displayed to the pilot?
EICAS
The APU will automatically shutdown in flight if:

redundant fuel pumps
Which engine type uses an accumulator tank in its fuel system?
fuel injected piston engine
The electric pump in a piston engine fuel system is used for
priming the engine starting the engine redundancy
The crossfeed valves in a fuel system is to allow:
any engine to use fuel from any tank
Large aircraft fuel systems employ ______________ refueling.
single point
what type of fuel tank Can develop leaks if left to dry out
bladder
fuel tank that Can be removed or installed through a small opening.
Bladder
fuel tank Hardest to repair
integral
fuel tank Also known as collapsible.
bladder
fuel thank that has the Best use of available volume
intergral
fuel tank Lightest weight.
integral
fuel tank that uses clips, snaps, or lacing to secure in airframe
bladder
fuel tank that is Difficult to remove and install
Rigid/Metal (welded or riveted)
fuel tank type that Requires large openings to remove
Rigid/Metal (welded or riveted)
The fuel cell in the Piper Navajo is secured to the structure using:
Lacing
All aircraft tanks can be easily defined as either rigid metal, bladder or integral.
false
Allows left engine to use fuel from right fuel tanks.
Crossfeed Valve
These remote valves are fast acting valves.
solenoid valves
A solenoid valve uses a _____________ valve internally.
poppet
Whittaker valves are also known as
gate valves slide valves motor driven valves
A _______________ is an example of a single acting manual pump
primer
This pump outputs fuel on each stroke of the piston
double acting pump
This pump outputs fuel on one stroke of the piston and pulls fuel into the pump on the other stroke
Pulsating pump diaphragm pump single-acting pump
This pump has no moving parts
ejector pump
