a- Reduces the angle towards the root to allow blade cuff to be fitted
b- Increases the angle towards the tip compensetate for the cenerifugal force
c- Reduces the angle towards the tip to allow for local velocity of the blade
5- In flight, the torque bending force on a propeller causes the blades to bend :
a- Forward in direction of flight
b- Rearwards from the direction of flight
c- Against the direction of rotation
6- As the forward speed of an aircraft fitted with a fixed pitch propeller increases :
a- Both blade angle and angle of attack increase
b- Both angle remains constant and angle of attack decreases
c- Blade angle and angle of attack decreases
13- In the flyweight in the csu are moving outwards then the propeller is:
a- Overspeeding and the blade angle has to be increased
b- Underspeeding and the blade angle needs to be increased
c- Underspeeding and the blade angle must to be reduce
17- the direction of the differential motor in a tacho- generator synchronizing system is :
a- a result of the engine that generates the highest voltage
b- determined by the frequency of the signal from the computer
c- selected by rotation of the phasing control unit
19- on a four engined aircraft with synchronization the left had engine is :
a- the master , only if selected by the pilot
b- always the master engine
c- the slave, only when the engine next to its fail
20- on four bladed propeller the pulse generator in a synchrophasing system are fitted on the :
a- root of the blades with identical numbers
b- balde root coinciding with the engine position number
c- blade root of the master engine only
26- A check of relative position of the blade tips as they travel one rotation is :
a- Carried out during installation ground run and can be referred to as indexing
b- A final check after balancing and known as tracking
c- Accomplished by rotating the propeller by mounting it in an arbour on balance knives
29- During ground run a propeller overspeed by 135 % of normal max speed the:
a- Propeller should be removed for inspection if the time of the overspeed exceeded limits
b- Tracking should be checked following a detailed inspection of the blade roots
c- Propeller should be returned to the manufacturer
30- Before timing the range of movement from coarse to fine during a ground run :
a- The propeller must be exercised to ensure that the oil is warm and the dome is free of air
b- No movement of the pitch control system is allowed as it may influence the time taken to
move through the range
c- The engine must be run at full power for ten minutes to ensure max torque is available
32- When preparing a propeller for off wing storage , it must be cleaned :
a- With a pressure wash to remove contamination from the root of blade
b- With isopropyl alcohol ,ensuring that steel surfaces are leftdry for storage
c- With low alkaline soap ,by hand then wrap the blade in polythene
