Knowledge Application
1. Manufacturer's maintenance manual
2. The inside of the cylinder
3. It is on the engine data plate
4. Check the power output (static and idle r.p.m.), check magnetos, fuel and oil pressure check, cylinder and oil temperature check.
5. Metal particles in the oil show normal and abnormal wear of the engine. This helps in evaluating the engine's internal condition.
Multiple Choices
1. a
This question requires some close examination. Statement (A) does not apply because of the serial number of the engine. The serial number of the engine we are concerned with is 5863-40, and in statement (A), the engines have serial numbers from 101-40 through 5264-40. Statement (B) does apply to this engine, because the serial number falls within the range of numbers given. (1) is applicable, because the engine has more than 275 hours in service. It has 283 hours in service. (2) does not apply, because this engine has more than 275 hours time in service.
2. b
The Aircraft Specifications or Type Certificate Data Sheets list all of the propellers that are approved for a specific airplane.
3. b
Temperature is one of the most important considerations in the operation of a turbine engine. Because of this, the exhaust-gas temperature, which gives us an indication of the turbine-inlet temperature, allows us to monitor the mechanical integrity of the turbines as well as to check the operating conditions of the engine.
4. a
Exhaust systems that provide heat for the aircraft cabin should periodically be visually inspected for cracks with the shrouds removed. Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in the cabins of all aircraft using this type of heat.
5. c
Statement (1) is true. An Airworthiness Directive (AD note) is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration anytime a condition arises that prevents a certificated aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance from continuing to comply with its airworthiness certification. All applicable AD notes must be complied with unless a special exemption is granted. Statement (2) is also true. When an AD is issued as an emergency AD note, it must normally be complied with before further flight.
6. b
Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 43, entitled “Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding and Alteration,” contains in Appendix D the scope and details of items be included in an annual and 100-hour inspection. The items included in this list are the absolute minimum that should be inspected.
7. a
An Airworthiness Directive includes not only the action that must be taken, but also the time limit in which this action must be taken. The time limit required for compliance is part of each Airworthiness Directive.
8. b
Propeller Type Certificate Data Sheets list the engines on which a given propeller can be used.
9. b
Of the alternatives listed with this question, only the cylinder compression check is included in 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix D, as required to be included on a 100-hour or annual inspection.
10. a
Aircraft engines are normally identified by a letter indicating the cylinder arrangement and a number indicating the total piston displacement of the engine. In this case, an R-985-22 engine is a radial engine that has 985 cubic inches of piston displacement. Dash 22 is the model of this particular engine.
