Question N° 96
A turbo compressor air conditioning system (bootstrap system) includes two
heat exchangers; the primary exchanger (P) and the secondary exchanger
(S).The functions of these heat exchangers are as follows:

A P: warms up engine bleed air S: recirculates the cabin air, reducing its temperature.

B P: warms up engine bleed air S: increases the temperature of air originating from the compressor of
the pack.

C P: precools the engine bleed air S: cools air behind the pack's compressor.

D P: pre-cools the engine bleed air S: increases the temperature of the air used for air-conditioning of
cargo compartment (animals).

Question N° 97
What is the common operating pressure of the hydraulic system on most large
transport aeroplanes?

A 4000 psi

B 3000 psi

C 3500 psi

D 1500 psi

Question N° 98
Consider a variable pitch propeller operating in a high RPM / low pitch condition.
To select reverse thrust, the
A condition lever is moved to the reverse position and the blades move from low pitch through high
pitch to reverse pitch.

B condition lever is moved to the reverse position and the blades move from low pitch directly to
reverse pitch.

C power lever is moved to the reverse position and the blades move from low pitch directly to
reverse pitch.

D power lever is moved to the reverse position and the blades move from low pitch through high
pitch to reverse pitch.

Question N° 99
The purpose of a cockpit eye reference indicator is...

A To have the correct horizontal field of view.

B To have a correct vertical and horizontal field of view only moving eyes.

C To have a correct vertical and horizontal field of view with full head movement.

D To have a correct vertical and horizontal field of view with minimal head movement.

Question N° 100
The purposes of an accumulator in a hydraulic system are to..

A damp pressure fluctuations and serve as a limited alternate source of pressure.

B cool the hydraulic fluid and serve as a limited alternate source of pressure.

C cool the hydraulic fluid and serve as a main pressure source for normal operation.

D damp pressure fluctuations and serve as a main pressure source for normal operation.
