Module 17. Propeller

In what position is the constant-speed propeller control placed to check the magnetos?

  • Full decrease, low propeller blade pitch angle.
  • Full increase, low propeller blade pitch angle.
  • Full increase, high propeller blade pitch angle.
Jordi asking:

what are magnetos?

Module 17. Propeller

A rotating propeller imparts rearwards motion to a

  • small mass of air at high velocity.
  • large mass of air at low velocity.
  • small mass of air at low velocity.
Jordi asking:

i dont understand

Module 17. Propeller

The purpose of using reverse pitch propellers is to

  • provide aerodynamic breaking.
  • allow aircraft to taxi backwards.
  • reverse the direction of rotation of the propeller.
Jordi asking:

isnt the B also right?

Module 17. Propeller

The function of a propeller pitch lock is to prevent the propeller from

  • coarsening.
  • reducing below flight fine pitch.
  • fining off in the event of pitch lock mechanism failure.
Jordi asking:

i found an answer :leaflets refer to a pitch lock that holds the fine pitch stop in position, but also adds that some
manufacturers have a pitch lock device that locks the prop in its last position in the event of failure of the pitch lock
mechanism. For a description of this system see Jeppesen Aircraft Propellers and Controls page 136.

Module 2. Physics

Charles' Law states that

  • volume varies inversely with temperature.
  • volume varies directly with temperature.
  • volume equals pressure * temperature.
Jordi asking:

I think it is wrong,because the formula for charles is V1/T1=V2/T2 which means that volume with temperature are inversely proportional.
