Fuel/Fire 3

Which of the following is not a type of aircraft fuel valve?

• A manually operated poppet type valve.

• A solenoid operated valve.

• A motor operated sliding gate valve.

• A motor operated centrifugal valve.

What animal did St Patrick drive out of Ireland ?

• Cats

• Elephants

• Unicorns

• Snakes

What primary purpose does the Collector Tank serve?

• Provides a central spot for fuel transfer to be initiated from

• Feeds the fuel vent system

• Collects all liquids in fuel tanks to make it easier to remove water and contaminants

• Prevents engine fuel starvation due to sloshing

The purpose of a baffle in a fuel tank is to:

• Provide for a 2% expansion space.

• Seal off the inboard and outboard ends of the tank.

• Provide structural integrity to the wing.

• Resist fuel surging within the tank.

What is the purpose of the flapper type check valves in integral fuel tanks?

.

• To allow the defueling of fuel tanks by suction.

• To allow the engine-driven fuel pump to dram fuel directly from the tank if the boost pump fails.

• To keep the fuel in the tanks flowing inboard towards the boost pumps..

• To reduce the negative pressure in the fuel tank

What is the Airspeed velocity of a swallow ?

• 140km

• 220miles

• 100

• impossible to answer without knowing the origin of swallow.

The indication that a lavatory fire extinguisher has been discharged is:

• The heat activated nozzle will be black

• The heat activated nozzle will be an aluminum color

• The bottle exterior surface will have changed color

• The bottle pressure gage will indicate zero pressure

The contacts of a low fuel pressure warning switch close and a warning light is turned on when:

• The fuel pressure drops below specified limits.

• A measured quantity of fuel has passed through the switch.

• The fuel filter goes into bypass.

• The fuel flow stops.

What type of fuel pump uses no moving parts to pump the fuel?

• Centrifugal pump.

• Ejector pump.

• Electric pulsating pump.

• Constant displacement pump.

Capacitance type fuel indicating system:

• Are not preferred as it requires electricity to be in fuel tanks

• Are best suited for large tanks due to several units being placed in the fuel tanks which allow for a constant electrical capacitance to be computed for any tank angles

• Are only used when magnetic sticks are not available

• Are used with variable resistance VDC in a circuit to drive a ratiometer-type indicator
