Assignment 03 Solution: Aircraft Maintenance

• Which part of the engine acts as the moving wall within the combustion chamber.
• Piston pins
• Piston
• Piston rings
• Intake and exhaust valves
2. In which stroke or strokes, both valves on 4 stroke engine is/are open
• exhaust
• intake
• power & intake
• exhaust & intake
3. where is the sludge chamber in the engine
• Crankshaft journal
• Crank case
• Crank cheek
• Crank pin
4. Ignition occurs in the
• Compression stroke
• Power stroke
• Intake stroke
• Exhaust stroke
5. ‘Combustion should be completed:
• At the beginning of the power stroke
• At the end of the power stroke
• At the beginning of the exhaust stroke
• At the end of the exhaust stroke
6. Airflow through a divergent duct causes:

• pressure to increase, velocity to decrease

• pressure to increase, velocity to remain constant

• pressure to decrease, velocity to decrease

• pressure to decrease, velocity to increase

7. Aircraft standard fuses are fitted to:

• AC circuits.

• DC and AC circuits.

• protect wiring in battery circuits only.

• DC circuits only.

8. A fuel booster pump, which is used to provide positive fuel flow to the engine, can also
be used for:

• fuel jettison and fuel heating.

• fuel transfer and fuel heating.

• fuel dumping and fuel jettison.

• fuel jettison and fuel transfer.

9. The flash point of a fuel is:

• the temperature at which the viscosity of fuel changes suddenly.

• the temperature to which it must be heated in order to give off vapour which will

burn continuously when brought into contact with a small flame.

• the boiling temperature of the fuel.

• the lowest temperature at which fuel produces sufficient vapour to be ignited by a

small flame or spark.

10. Drain cocks are fitted:

• at the lowest point in the system.

• between the pump and a selector.

• to enable water to be drained from the system.

• at the highest point in the system so that any fluid drained is not contaminated with

water.
