What is a monocoque fuselage structure? Answer\u2713\u2713 This is a structure without
any internal framework, where the skin carries all of the flight loads. 2-3
What is a semi-monocoque fuselage structure? Answer\u2713\u2713 This is a structure that
has an internal substructure attached to the aircrafts skin in order to increase the
strength of the fuselage. 2-4
What does the empennage consist of? Answer\u2713\u2713 Usually it consists of a vertical
stabilizer, the rudder, the vertical stabilizer, and the elevator. 2-5
What is a conventional landing gear? Answer\u2713\u2713 A landing gear with a rear\u0002mounted wheel, and the airplanes are sometimes referred to as tailwheel airplanes.
2-7
What type of landing gear does an airplane have if the third wheel is located on the
nose of the aircraft? Answer\u2713\u2713 A tricycle gear, or a nosewheel airplane. 2-7
What is the most common type of landing gear strut? Answer\u2713\u2713 An oleo strut,
which uses a piston enclosed in a cylinder with oil and compressed air to absorb
the bumps and jolts of landing and taxi operations. 2-9
What does the powerplant of the airplane include? Answer\u2713\u2713 The engine and the
propeller. 2-9
What are the primary and secondary purposes of the engine? Answer\u2713\u2713 The
primary purpose is to provide the power to turn the propeller. Engine mounted

accessories provide the secondary purposes of generating electrical power, creating
a vacuum source for some flight instruments, and to provide a source of heat for
the pilot and passengers. 2-9
What is the purpose of a firewall? Answer\u2713\u2713 The firewall protects the occupants
and serves as a mounting point for the engine. 2-9
Where can aircraft operating limitations be found? Answer\u2713\u2713 In the approved
flight manual or pilots operating handbook, markings, placards, or a combination
of these. 2-10
What is the purpose of trim devices? Answer\u2713\u2713 Trim helps minimize your
workload by aerodynamically helping you move a control surface, or maintain the
surface in a desired position. 2-6
What are the two main types of engines in use today? Answer\u2713\u2713 Reciprocating
and turbine. 2-14
What type of operating cycles do most reciprocating engines use? Answer\u2713\u2713 A
four-stroke operating cycle. 2-16
What are the four cycles of the four-stroke operating cycle? Answer\u2713\u2713 1. Intake:
The piston moves away from the cylinder head on the intake stroke, the intake
valve opens and the fuel\/air mixture is drawn into the combustion chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Compression: As the piston moves back toward the cylinder head, the intake
    valve closes and the fuel\/air mixture is compressed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power: When compression is almost complete, the spark plugs fire and the
    compressed mixture is ignited to begin the power stroke. The expanding gases of
    the controlled burning drive the piston, providing power that rotates the crankshaft.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Exhaust: The exhaust stroke expels the burned gases form the chamber through
    the opened exhaust valve.
    2-16
    What is the purpose of the induction system of the engine? Answer\u2713\u2713 To bring
    outside air into the engine, mix it with fuel in the proper proportion, and deliver it
    to the cylinders where combustion occurs. 2-17
    How do you control the induction system of the engine? Answer\u2713\u2713 With the
    throttle and the mixture. The throttle controls engine speed by regulating the
    amount of fuel and air mixture that flows into the cylinders, while the mixture
    controls the fuel\/air ratio. 2-17
    What does the carburetor in the engine do? Answer\u2713\u2713 It mixes the incoming air
    with fuel and delivers it to the combustion chamber. 2-18
    What is the operating principle of float-type carburetors? Answer\u2713\u2713 They are
    based on the difference in pressure at the venture throat and the air inlet. 2-18
    As an airplane climbs, do you enrich or lean the mixture to maintain optimum
    fuel\/air ratio? Answer\u2713\u2713 Lean. 2-19
    What is happening when you lean the fuel\/air mixture? Answer\u2713\u2713 You are
    decreasing the fuel flow to compensate for decreased air density. This can also
    eliminate engine roughness during runup at high elevation airports. 2-19
    As altitude increases, what happens to air density? Answer\u2713\u2713 Air density
    decreases. 2-19<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
