Are mineral streaks in a piece of No, if there is no evidence of wood decay
structural aircraft wood reason for
rejecting the wood?
Are pneumatic deicer boots When the boots inflate, it breaks the ice that has
operated before ice forms or after it already formed, and the wind blowing over the
has formed? airfoil blows it away.
Describe the operating principle of a The thermal heat system consists of one or more
thermal switch fire detection system. lights, energized by aircraft power when
connected to the circuit by a thermal switch.
The thermal switches are heat sensitive units that
complete the circuit at a certain temperature.
Describe the proper method of The cable should be as short as possible, routed as

antenna to the receiver. Any bends should be ten times the size of the
cable diameter and do not route or tie the coaxial
cable with other wire bundles.
,Does an aircraft being operated No
under a progressive inspection
require a 100-hour inspection if it is
used to give flight inspection for
hire?
Does an aircraft engine electric series-wound motor
starter use a series or parallel
electric motor?
Does a thermal switch fire detection No. It actuates when there is a fire.
warn the pilot of a general overheat
condition?
Does a thermocouple fire detection No. It operates on the rate of temperature rise, and
system warns the pilot of a general it identifies only a fire.
overheat condition?
Does the FAA require that a checklist Yes, according to 14 CFR 43.15 (c)(1)
be used when conducting an annual
or 100-hour inspection?
Does the lift that is produced by the downward
horizontal tail surfaces of an airplane
act upward or downward in normal
flight?
,Does the main hydraulic pump take The main pump normally takes its fluid from a
its fluid from the bottom of the standpipe, while the emergency pump takes its
reservoir, or from a standpipe? fluid from the bottom of the reservoir.
If a break occurs in the system and allows the main
pump to pump all of its fluid overboard, there will
be enough fluid left in the bottom of the reservoir
to allow the emergency system to extend the
landing gear and actuate the brakes.
How are drain grommets installed in Brass grommets should be mounted on fabric

types are installed with a second coat of dope, and
the drain holes are opened by cutting out the
fabric in the center of the grommet.
How are high and low pressure High pressure (1800-1850 psi) oxygen cylinders are

Low pressure (400-425 psi) cylinders are painted
yellow.
How are rubber deicer boots? mild soap and water

off of the surface with a plastic scraper.
How can dents in a steel cluster be Weld a specially formed steel patch over the

The most accurate method is to take a sample of
the wood, weigh it, dry it in an oven at a
temperature of 100-105 degrees centigrade,
