EASA Part-66 Exam Preparation Online

Thanks for raising this. Module 12 is Helicopter Aerodynamics, Structures and Systems, so it covers the whole helicopter, not only the rotor-specific parts. Many of its systems topics are the same as on aeroplanes, and they are examined that way. ILS is in scope. The avionic systems section of the Module 12 syllabus includes navigation systems, and helicopters certified for instrument flight fly ILS approaches just as aeroplanes do. You should expect ILS questions in the real exam. Cargo compartment classes are a closer call. The Module 12 syllabus covers fire protection (detection and extinguishing) and cabin and cargo layout, including cargo retention, so cargo fire protection is fair game. The Class A, B, C classification itself comes from large aeroplane certification, though, so a question that rests entirely on those classes is more aeroplane than helicopter. On contesting: if you think a question in your real exam is outside the syllabus, raise it with the organisation or au…

I've been going through some of the sample questions from this website & also from other sources, and I find that there are some questions in Module 12 that is not "related" to helicopters. Do these questions pop up in the actual Module 12 exam? And if they do, can we "contest" it as not related to the module? Example of questions (I stand corrected if some of them are actually related to helicopters): 1. Cargo containment class A, B, C... 2. ILS system

Thanks for flagging this - you are right. Fibre optic cable on Airbus aircraft has a purple (violet) outer jacket. The Airbus-qualified fibre cable (ABS0963 / EN 4641-100) is purple, which matches what you saw on the A320neo. This question was originally keyed purple. Earlier this year it was changed to orange during a review, on the basis that orange is the standard fibre colour. That is true for ground telecom cabling (TIA-598 uses orange for multimode and yellow for single-mode fibre), but it is not how fibre is identified in Airbus aircraft wiring, so that change was a mistake. I have moved the correct answer back to purple and rewritten the explanation. The question now also says which aircraft it means, so it no longer implies one colour for every manufacturer: "On Airbus aircraft, fibre optic cable can be identified by its jacket colour, which is" Hands-on checks like yours are the best way we have of catching this kind of thing, so please keep reporting anything …

they are purple ??? was literally looking at fibre optic cables on a A320 neo.

Good question, and you're right. A high body temperature, from a fever or from working in heat, also slows you down and makes mistakes more likely, so as this question was worded both "high" and "low" body temperature were true. What the question is really after is the circadian rhythm, the body's daily clock. Over a normal day your core temperature rises and falls, and it is at its lowest around 4 to 6 in the morning. That low point is when alertness and performance are at their worst, which is why errors go up on night shifts. That is the effect the marked answer (low body temperature) is pointing at. The question should have said so, and I've now reworded it so it is clearly asking about the normal daily cycle. Thanks for pointing it out, and keep the reports coming.

what about high temepture does this affect to

Thanks for raising this, you were right. The main job of the abradable lining is to let the blade tips run with minimum clearance and cut their own track without damage; the acoustic role is secondary. We have reworded the question and moved the correct answer to match.

PART66Online replied to alectaylorob's question ·12d ago

Per the EASA syllabus, the correct option is A, although the wording is loose. The study notes on this site describe the fan track liner as a sacrificial layer that the blade tips are designed to cut, so the tip is protected and the running clearance stays as small as the installation allows; they add that on many engines the same panel is perforated and honeycomb-backed, so it is also part of the sound-absorbing medium. Per Module 15.19 powerplant installation, the acoustic role is therefore secondary and the question should ask for the primary purpose; the full explanation is in the section The Abradable Lining in the Fan Case at part66online.com/study-notes/module/1...

Thanks for raising this, you were right that the wording was unclear. The question has now been reworded to: To inhibit the fuel system of an installed engine for storage, with inhibiting oil supplied to the fuel inlet, you should... The correct answer is unchanged (dry motor the engine), but the stem now makes it clear that this is about preserving the fuel system for storage, not priming it or clearing a wet start. Thanks again for reporting it.

This answer isnt wrong but isnt its main purpose to provide tip clearance? I feel aiding in acoustics is no where as important?
