Test 1

Question 1

What is a Differential Ailerons?

Answer 1

Up going Aileron travels more than the down going aileron eliminating adverse yaw

Question 2

Types of Stall warning System

Answer 2

AOA Vane

Stick Shaker

Stick Pusher

Question 3

Types of devices that controls wing tip vortices

Answer 3

Wing tip tanks

Winglets

Wing Fence

Question 4

What kind of Tab is this?

Answer 4

Balance Tab

Question 5

What kind of tab is this?

Answer 5

Servo Tab

Question 6

What type of tab acts as part of the primary control surface at low speeds but as a servo tab at higher speed?

Answer 6

Spring tab

Question 7

During the rigging of an elevator/elevator trim tab system, the elevator trim tab indicator was not properly connected. When the elevator trim tab indicator reads neutral (takeoff position) the actual trim tab was in the full down position i.e. the trailing edge of the trim tab was pointing down. What effect would this have on the aircraft during take-off?

Answer 7

aircraft would have a tendency to stall on liftoff

Question 8

If trim tab is moving downwards? which way is the trim control wheel being moved?

Answer 8

Nose Up

Question 9

When you see a corrosion on a cable surface, do you replace it?

Answer 9

no

Question 10

How many broken strands are allowed in a critical fatigue area of a cable?

Answer 10

0

Question 11

If an aircraft is operated on a cold weather, what would happen to the cable tension?

Answer 11

Decrease

Question 12

Proper procedures for checking cable tension

Answer 12

1. measure the cable tension at more than one location
2. measure on each side of the cable circuit
3. each end of the cable circuit should be isoated (fixed) with rigging pins
4. tension on each side should be the same

Question 13

How do you know if a turnbuckle is in safety?

Answer 13

no more than 3 threads are exposed in each end of the barrel

Question 14

How many times should you initially turn each side of the turnbuckle before doing the final cable tensioning?

Answer 14

4

Question 15

How could you prevent cross-wiring?

Answer 15

label and maintain a slight tension on the cables when removing and putting it back.

Question 16

What prevents loss of pressurization air where flight control cables run through the pressure vessel? (e.g. pressure bulkhead)

Answer 16

grease filled seals

Question 17

When rigging an aircraft control system with primary and secondary stops, which stops should the flight controls contact?

Answer 17

Primary Stop first

Question 18

How do you rig an aileron?

Answer 18

aileron should hit the up stop on one wing at the same time as the aileron on the other wing hits the down stop

Question 19

What is the most important thing to do when rigging or tensioning a flight control system?

Answer 19

Read the appropriate AMM and do a proper indipendent check/dual inspection

Question 20

4 main steps of a dual inspection

Answer 20

1. Correct assembly
2. safety
3. Correct sense of motion
4. Check for correct Travel limits

Question 21

What does proper sense of motion means?

Answer 21

flight control movement and input movement should match (e.g. nose down trim corresponds to trim tab up)
