Alternative to rudder-controlled gear assembly. - ANS_Castering
Slang for fixed main gear. - ANS_Down and Welded
Name of fuel tank drain and tool - ANS_Sump drain; fuel strainer
Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged? - ANS_Altimeter,
Airspeed, Vertical Speed Indicator
Which instrument will become inoperative if the pitot tube becomes clogged? - ANS_Airspeed.
What are the two types of Stall Warning devices? - ANS_Suction and electrical
What do a vented fuel cap or tank vent lines prevent? - ANS_A vacuum being created, which would
reduce, and even eventually stop, fuel from flowing.
Why does the crankcase need a breather tube? - ANS_Combustion gasses and water vapor eventually
start leaking past the piston/piston rings, so it needs a pressure relief. On its way through the crankcase,
the hot gas picks up oil and carries it out the crankcase breather (where it gets sprayed on the bottom of
your clean, beautiful airplane).
Why should you check that the crankcase breather tube is not clogged? - ANS_The amount of oil exiting
through the crankcase breather increases with engine age. As the oil flow increases, it starts to
