Aviation Mechanic - Powerplant
test bank contains questions pertaining to
Engine Instrument Systems
. The following list contains only a relatively small percentage of the pertinent
questions. Our software, which you are free to download now at no cost, will
generally contain a much more complete set of questions associated with this
test bank. This list is intended only to familiarize you in a general way with
the questions of the

That said, while the following questions are intended
as a general familiarization tool, this list may not be up-to-date nor accurate.
We do not update this website as often as we update our software, which will
contain at any moment all questions that we have for a given test / topic. Therefore,
if you need to actually study for your test, instead of using the list below,
we strongly, strongly encourage you to download our GroundSchool

written test prep software. Not only is it more complete and more up to date,
but it also includes answers and explanation and has many features to make your
study fast and efficient.

- Motor driven impeller and turbine fuel flow transmitters are designed to transmit data
- In addition to fuel quantity, a computerized fuel system (CFS) with a totalizer indicator provides indication of how many of the following?
1. Fuel flow rate.
2. Fuel used since reset or initial start up.
3. Fuel time remaining at current power setting.
4. Fuel temperature.
- Where are the hot and cold junctions located in an engine cylinder temperature indicating system?
- What basic meter is used to indicate cylinder head temperature in most aircraft?
- Why do helicopters require a minimum of two synchronous tachometer systems?
-
(1) Powerplant instrument range markings show whether the current state of powerplant operation is normal, acceptable for a limited time, or unauthorized.
(2) Powerplant instrument range markings are based on installed engine operating limits which may not exceed (but are not necessarily equal to) those limits shown on the engine Type Certificate Data Sheet.
Regarding the above statements,
-
(1) Generally, when a turbine engine indicates high EGT for a particular EPR (when there is no significant damage), it means that the engine is out of trim.
(2) Some turbine powered aircraft use RPM as the primary indicator of thrust produced, others use EPR as the primary indicator.
Regarding the above statements,
- A Bourdon tube instrument may be used to indicate
1. pressure.
2. temperature.
3. position.
4. quantity.
- What instrument on a gas turbine engine should be monitored to minimize the possibility of a "hot" start?
- What would be the possible cause if a gas turbine engine has high exhaust gas temperature, high fuel flow, and low RPM at all engine power settings?
- In what units are turbine engine tachometers calibrated?
- The EGT gauge used with reciprocating engines is primarily used to furnish temperature readings in order to
- High tooth pressures and high rubbing velocities, such as occur with spur type gears, require the use of
