Answer:
electric cutout pressure switch Question 2: what type of imbalance will cause two-blade propeller to have a persisntent rendency to come to rest in a horizontal position (with the blades parallel to the ground) while being checked on a propeller balancing beam?
Answer:
vertical Question 3: propeller aerodynamic (thrust) imbalance can be largely eliminated by
Answer:
correct blade contouring and angle setting Question 4: constant-speed non-feathering McCauley, Hartzell, and other propellers of similar design without conterwights increase pitch angle using
Answer:
oil pressure
Question 5: what method would be used to inspect an aluminum propeller blade when a crack is suspected?
Answer:
dye-penetrate Question 6: which of the following functions requires the use of a propeller blade station?
Answer:
Measuining blade angle Question 7: how is aircraft electrical power propeller deicer systems transferred from the engine to the propeller hub assembly?
Answer:
by slip rings and brushes
Question 8: propeller blade angle is the angle between the
Answer:
chord of the blade and the rotational plane of the propeller
Question 9: the centrifugal twistin force acting on a propeller balde is
Answer:
greater than the aerodynamic twisting force and tends to move the blade to a lower angle Question 10: what normally prevents a Hartzell compact propeller from going to feather when the engine is shut down on the ground?
Answer:
a latch mechanism composed of springs and lock pins
Question 11: how is the speed of a constant-speed propeller changed in flight?
Answer:
by changing the load tension against the flyweights in the governor
Question 12: the primary purpose of a cuff on a propeller is to
Answer:
increase the flow of cooling air to the engine nacelle
Question 13: which of the following best describes the blade movement of a propeller that is in the high RPM position when reversing action is begun?
Answer:
low pitch directly to reverse pitch Question 14: the holding coil on a hydromatic propeller feathering button switch holds a solenoid relay closed that applies power to the propeller
Answer:
feathering pump motor Question 15: which of the following determine oil and grease specifications for lubrication of propellers?
Answer:
propeller manufacturer's instructions
Question 16: what is the purpose of an arbor used in balancing a propeller?
Answer:
to support the propeller on the balance knives
Question 17: ice formation on a propeller blade will
Answer:
produce unbalance and vibration Question 18: if a blade of a particular metal propeller is shortened because of damage to the tip, the remaining blade(s) must be
Answer:
reduced to confirm with the shortned blade Question 19: how does the aerodynamic twisting force affect operating propeller blades?
Answer:
it tends to turn the blades to a high blade angle Question 20: one of the advantages of inspecting an aluminum propeller utilizing dye-penetrant inspection procedure is that
Answer:
it shows whether visible lines and other marks are actually cracks rather than scratches
Question 21: what operational force causes propeller blade tips to lag in the opposite direction of rotation?
Answer:
torque-bending force Question 22: the primary purpose of the front and rear cones for propellers that are installed on splined shafts is to
Answer:
position the propeller hub on the splined shaft Question 23: maximum taper contact between crankshaft and propeller hub is determined using
Answer:
bearing blue color transfer Question 24: oil leakage around the rear cone of a hydromatic propeller usually indicates a defective
Answer:
spider-shaft oil seal Question 25: a fixed-pitch wooden propeller that has been properly installed and the attachment bolts properly torque exceeds the out-of-track allowance by 1/16 inch. the excessive out-of-track condition may be corrected by
Answer:
placing shims between the inner flange and the propeller Question 26: generally, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, repairs of nicks, scratches, gouges, etc., on aluminum propeller blades must be made
Answer:
parallel to the lenght of the blade Question 27: what operational force tends to bend the propeller blades forward at the tip
Answer:
thrust-bending force
