Aircraft and Engines Examination.

1- Mentions the classifications established by the ICAO for aircraft.

a) Aircraft lighter than air. Heavier than air aircraft
b) Aircraft less dense than air due to their weight. Heavier than your own weight
c) Heavier aircraft at higher altitudes. Aircraft with a center of gravity

2- Defines what an Aircraft is.

a) Aircraft that has a group of wings and fuselage
b) Machine that is capable of flying under its own power
c) Heavier-than-air aircraft propelled by mechanical means

3- What are the lighter-than-air aircraft?

a) Free Balloon, Captive Balloon, Airship
b) Helicopter, Captive Balloon, Rigid Airship
c) Semi-Rigid Airship, Free Balloon, Glider

4- Name 3 heavier-than-air aircraft.

a) Glider, Autogyro, Airship
b) Helicopter, Airplane, Glider
c) Free Balloon, Autogyro, Airplane

5- Mentions the general classifications of aircraft.

a) High Wing, Low Wing, Gull Wing
b) High Wing, Medium Wing, Conventional Wing
c) Medium Wing, Inverted Gull Wing, Heavy Wing

6- Defines low wing aircraft.

A) The wing is mounted on top to the fuselage. A high wing model is much more stable
than a low wing model and will be less prone to rolling or pendulum effect.
B) The wing joins the fuselage in its middle part. Its characteristics are between high
wing stability and low wing maneuverability. It is the most used in commercial
aviation.
C) The wing lowers the fuselage of the plane. Many corporate aircraft, fighters and
aerobatic aircraft use this type of arrangement.
7- Defines mid-wing airplane.
a) The wing is mounted on top to the fuselage. A high wing model is much more stable
than a low wing model and will be less prone to rolling or pendulum effect.
b) The wing joins the fuselage in its middle part. Its characteristics are between high
wing stability and low wing maneuverability. It is the most used in commercial
aviation.
c) The wing sits under the fuselage of the plane. Many corporate aircraft, fighters and
aerobatic aircraft use this type of arrangement.

8- Defines high wing aircraft.

a) The wing is mounted on top to the fuselage. A high wing model is much more stable
than a low wing model and will be less prone to rolling or pendulum effect.
b) The wing joins the fuselage in its middle part. Its characteristics are between high
wing stability and low wing maneuverability. It is the most used in commercial
aviation.
c) The wing sits under the fuselage of the plane. Many corporate aircraft, fighters and
aerobatic aircraft use this type of arrangement.

9- Define what a biplane is.

a) corresponds to one of the possible configurations in a fixed wing aircraft. It is made up
of two groups of wings of similar span, mounted one on top of the other. The name
biplane should not be confused with the tandem wing configuration, in which there
are two pairs of wings separated horizontally.
b) It is an airplane that consists only of one wing, wings that provide sufficient lift for
flight.
c) It is a fixed-wing aircraft equipped with each of which is mounted on top of another.
Typically, the lower wing group is at the same level as the bottom of the aircraft
fuselage, the middle wing group will be at the level of the top of the fuselage, and the
upper wing group will be above the level of the fuselage.
10- What is a dihedral angle?
a) Seen from the front, the "V"-shaped angle that the wings form with respect to the
horizon.
b) Angle formed by the wings (more specifically the 25% chord line) with respect to the
transverse axis of the plane
c) None of the above

11- Defines Sesquiplane aircraft.

a) Biplane aircraft whose lower wings are much shorter than the upper ones.
b) It is an airplane that consists only of one wing, wings that provide sufficient lift for
flight.
c) None of the above

12- By the number of engines they are classified into.

a) Single-engine, Twin-engine, Multi-engine
b) MotoTractor, Single Engine, Tandem Engine
c) None of the above.
13- Due to the position of the engines, they are classified as (2 minimum).
a) Tractor Engine, Propulsion Engine, Tendem Engine
b) Tractor Engine, Propulsion Engine, Piston Engine
c) Twin Engine, Propulsion Engine, Tendem Engine

14- Mentions the landing gear classification (minimum 3).

R=
15- Mention the three types of manufactured fuselages and mention their definition.
R=

16- Mentions the OTTO Cycle.

R=

17- What are Batteries?

R=

18- What are the Masters?

R=
19- What are Magnets?
R=

20- What is the VSI instrument.

a) Vertical speed indicator shows the pilot two things: a) whether the airplane is climbing,
descending, or flying level; b) the vertical speed or rate, in feet per minute (fpm), of the
ascent or descent.
b) It is an instrument that measures the relative speed of the aircraft with respect to the air in
which it moves, and indicates this in statute miles per hour.
c) The attitude indicator, also called artificial horizon, is an instrument that shows the
attitude of the aircraft with respect to the horizon.

21- What is external combustion?

R=

22- What is internal combustion?

R=
23- What is the temperature indicator used for?
R=

24- What are taxi or taxi lights?

R=

a) Auxiliary Power Unit
b) Ground Power Unit
