Jeppesen Private Pilot Chapter 2,
Section A, B, C.
1. Identify the major components of the airplane that are depicted in the accompanying
illustration. - answerA. FUSELAGE
B. WINGS
C. Power Plant
D. Empennage
E. Landing Gear
2. "What is the primary difference between monocoque and semi-monocoque aircraft
construction?" - answerMonocoque uses the skin to support almost all imposed loads.
The semi-monocoque uses a structure attached to the airplane skin to maintain the
shape of the airframe.
3. "When you move the control wheel to the left, which way do the ailerons move?" -
answerLeft aileron moves up and right moves down.
4. True/False. The rudder is located on the horizontal stabilizer." - answerFalse
5. "What is the purpose of trim devices?" - answerTrim devices aerodynamically help
move a control surface, or maintain the surface in a desired position.
6. An airplane with a wheel mounted on the tail is equipped with what type of landing
gear?" - answerConventional landing gear.
7. In addition to providing power to turn the propeller, what other functions does the
engine in a typical training airplane perform? - answerAccessories mounted on, or
connected to the engine generate electrical power, provide vacuum power for some of
the flight instruments, and, in most single-engine airplanes, provide a source of HEAT
for the pilot and passengers.
8. Which of the following are required to be in the aircraft during all flight operations?
A. Pilot's information manual (PIM)
B. Pilot's operating handbook (POH)
C. FAA approved airplane flight manual (AFM) - answerC. FAA approved airplane flight
manual (AFM)
9. An aircraft's annual inspection was performed on June 13, this year. When is the next
annual inspection due? - answerJune 30th, next year.
, 10. A 100-hour inspection was due at 2202.5 hours on the tachometer. The 100-hour
inspection was performed at 2209.5 hours. When is the next 100-hour inspection due? -
answer2302.5 hours
11. "You discover inoperative equipment on an airplane that you are planning to fly.
What four requirements must you check to determine if the equipment must be
operational for this flight?
(compass Dennis) - answer1. VFR day type certification
2. Kind of Operation Equipment List (POH)
3. FAR 91.205 (VFR Day) and FAR 91.207 (Night VFR)
4. AD's : Airworthiness Directive
Identify the four-stroke operating cycle step shown in each of the following illustrations. -
answerPower
Intake
Exhaust
Compression
As an airplane climbs, do you enrich or lean the mixture to maintain an optimum fuel/air
ratio? - answerLean the mixture as the airplane climbs
What is your first indication of carburetor ice in an airplane equipped with fixed-pitch
propeller? - answerThe first indication of carburetor icing in an airplane with a fixed-pitch
propeller is a decrease in engine RPM.
Explain why an engine equipped with a fuel injection system is less susceptible to
induction icing than one equipped with a float-type carburetor. - answerThere can be a
sharp temperature drop in a float-type carburetor due to fuel vaporization and
decreasing air pressure in the venturi. If water vapor in the air condenses when the
carburetor temperature is at or below freezing, ice may form. Since engines equipped
with a fuel injection system eliminate the carburetor, they are relatively free from the
formation of induction icing.
The uncontrolled, explosive ignition of the fuel/air mixture within the cylinder's
combustion chamber describes which type of abnormal combustion? What actions can
you take while airborne to help correct for this problem? - answerDetention. Because
detonation can occur when the engine overheats, if you suspect detonation while in
flight you should attempt to lower the cylinder temperature. Methods include reducing
power, enriching the fuel mixture, and lowering the noise to increase airspeed and
cooling airflow around the engine.
What is a magneto? - answerA magneto is a self-contained, engine-driven unit that
supplies electrical current to the spark plugs. It uses a permanent magnet to generate
an electrical current completely independent of the aircraft's electrical system.
