Light-sport aircraft engines Exam
Study Guide Questions & Answers |
Verified
Name some characteristics and types of light-sport aircraft engines - Answer- light-
sports aircraft engines can be classified in many ways. They are usually in-line or
opposed in cylinder configuration. Both two-cycle and four-cycle engines are used.
Cooling can be liquid-cooled or air-cooled or a combination of both. There is only one
crankshaft. Fixed pitch or ground adjustable propellers are used with the exception of
an auto-feathering propeller being allowed on a glider. The engines for light-sport
aircraft come in various sizes. They utilize various fuels from an automobile gas to
100LL - the manufacturer specified fuel is required. Ignition is usually breaker-less
capacitor-discharge type. Turbo charging is possible. Some engines are convertible to
automobile engines.
how is maintenance recording accomplished on a light-sport aircraft - Answer-
maintenance requirements and recording on light-sport aircraft is very similar to that of
aircraft certified in the standard aircraft category. Manufacturers checklist and
instructions are always used and required. Checklists and work orders for inspections
and work accomplished must be recorded and kept in the maintenance records, as well
as recorded in the logbook. The technician must sign these records. It is the
responsibility of the owner operator to store and maintained the records. execution of
service bulletins must be entered into the logbook.
what type of oil system is often found on light-sport aircraft engines and what should be
done before checking the oil level - Answer- dry some oil systems are common on light-
sport aircraft engines. Two-cycle engines are often used on light-sport aircraft. These
engines use oil mixed with the fuel to lubricate the engine. On some models, the oil is
mixed with the fuel before it is poured into the fuel tank. However, on other models, the
dry sump reservoir feeds an oil injection system that supplies the engine with the
required lubrication oil. Usually, oil metering is directed in relation to throttle position
supplying more oil when engine speed is high. By turning the engine through by hand
before checking the oil quantity in the reservoir, residual oil in the system can be
returned to establish an accurate quantity level.
in what way does the certified technician deviate from manufacturers instructions when
maintaining a light-sport aircraft engine - Answer- The powerplant technician must not
deviate from the manufacturers instructions for maintenance of a light-sport aircraft
engine. The technician should maintain the aircraft according to manufacturers
schedules and specifications.
