1) In an aircraft flying control system employing servo-tabs, the installation of external ground locks to the main control surface Report

would not prevent movement of the control column

is unnecessary since the system is irreversible and therefore the control surface cannot be displaced by the wind

would also prevent movement of the control column

2) A full time yaw damper system detects Report

band pass frequencies

only low frequencies

all frequencies

3) With respect to flight spoilers, they Report

only operate in flight

only operate on the ground

can operate both on the ground and in flight

4) The bearing used in a fibre pulley is Report

a ball bearing

a roller bearing

a plain bearing

5) When the primary stops fitted to a control run have been contacted Report

a clearance exists at the secondary stops

the secondary stops have been over-ridden

the secondary stops will just be in contact

6) Excessive wear on both sides of the control cable pulley groove is evidence of Report

excessive cable tension

pulley misalignment

cable misalignment

7) A universal protractor used to measure degrees of aileron travel should be zeroed Report

when the aircraft is in level flight attitude

with the aileron in the neutral position

with the aileron in the down position

8) A flying control static friction check Report

can only be carried out during flight

demonstrates the force the pilot requires to overcome system inertia and move the controls

will demonstrate that a high force is always necessary to operate non-powered controls

9) What is an aileron balance cable for? Report

To allow the cable to be tensioned

To correct for wing heaviness

To allow aircraft to fly hands off

10) With the elevator trim wheel adjusted fully aft. (nose up), range of movement of the elevator is restricted Report

Would make no difference to the movement

For 'down' travel movement

For 'up' travel movement

11) On the ground, spoilers or speedbrakes are deploy to Report

15⁰

30⁰

60⁰

12) A horn balance on a control will Report

increase degree of movement at high speed

decrease degree of movement at low speed

decrease degree of movement at high speed

13) In normal flight, if the control column is pulled back, a servo tab fitted to the elevator will Report

move up

move down

remain in line with the elevator

14) In normal flight, if the control wheel is moved to the left, then the aileron on the right wing will Report

decrease the angle of attack of the right hand wing

increase the angle of attack of the right hand wing

keep the angle of attack of the right wing constant

15) On an aircraft fitted with elevons in normal flight, if a column is moved forward, the elevons will Report

both move up

both move down

remain stationary

16) To avoid moments bending the root of the wing, the aircraft will be fitted with Report

integrated fuel monitoring system

symmetrical flight control trim

automatic trim control for controlled turns and rudder movements

17) A yaw damper gain could be fitted with Report

decreases sensitivity for decreased speed

increased sensitivity for increased speed

decreases sensitivity for increased speed

18) In an aircraft system employing balance tabs, the installation of external ground locks between the control surface and the balance tabs Report

would prevent the movement of the control column

is unnecessary since the system is irreversible

would not prevent the movement of the control column

19) The two switches for pitch trim are located Report

on the control column acting like an 'AND' switch

on the control column acting like an 'OR' switch

on the control column with the captain having priority over the First Officer

20) If the flaps are sluggish or erratic on final approach, the possible cause may be Report

flap tracks out of rigging

bearing seized

flap motor internal leakage
