Therefore, the oil pressure indicator receives an electrical signal from the transmitter to display the oil pressure accurately.
20.
The two primary units of the tachometer indicating system are the tachometer generator and tachometer?
Correct Answer
A. Indicator
Explanation
The tachometer indicating system consists of two primary units: the tachometer generator and the tachometer indicator. The tachometer generator is responsible for generating the electrical signals based on the rotational speed of the engine. These electrical signals are then sent to the tachometer indicator, which displays the rotational speed in the form of a visual indicator. Therefore, the correct answer is "indicator" as it is one of the two primary units of the tachometer indicating system.
21.

24.
During an operational check of the fire warning system, you press?
Correct Answer
A. Only the test switch
Explanation
During an operational check of the fire warning system, pressing only the test switch would be the correct action. This is because the test switch is specifically designed to initiate a test sequence that checks the functionality of the fire warning system. Pressing both the TEST and NORMAL ON switches or only the TEST WARNING ON switches would not initiate the intended test sequence. Similarly, pressing both the TEST ON and TEST OFF switches would also not serve the purpose of testing the fire warning system.
25.
What is used to indicate the amount of thrust a dual-compressor engine is producing?
Correct Answer
A. Engine press ratio(EPR)
Explanation
The engine press ratio (EPR) is used to indicate the amount of thrust a dual-compressor engine is producing. EPR is a ratio of the total pressure at the engine inlet to the total pressure at the exhaust nozzle. It provides a measure of the engine's performance and is commonly used in aviation to monitor and control engine thrust output. RPM, EGT, and TIT are not directly related to the amount of thrust produced by the engine.
26.
The term Pt2 means the?

Correct Answer
D. Through tubing
Explanation
The correct answer is "through tubing." Inlet pressure (Pt2) is transmitted from its sensing point through tubing. This means that the pressure is transferred using a system of tubes or pipes, allowing the pressure to be measured or monitored at a different location. This method is commonly used in various industries to ensure accurate pressure readings and to protect sensitive equipment from the direct impact of high-pressure fluids.
29.
While testing an engine on an engine test cell, a breather pressure gauge displaying excessively high breather pressure is usually an indication of?
Correct Answer
C. Damage to engine bearing oil seals
Explanation
Excessively high breather pressure on an engine test cell is usually an indication of damage to engine bearing oil seals. The breather pressure gauge measures the pressure in the crankcase, and if the pressure is excessively high, it suggests that the oil seals, which prevent oil from leaking out of the bearings, are damaged. This can lead to oil leakage and potentially cause engine performance issues or damage.

What type of vibration causes unnecessary engine removals and unwarranted repairs?
Correct Answer
D. Externally excited
Explanation
Externally excited vibrations refer to vibrations that are caused by external factors such as misalignment, resonance, or mechanical forces. These vibrations can lead to unnecessary engine removals and unwarranted repairs because they put extra stress on the engine components, causing them to wear out faster or become damaged. Therefore, the correct answer is externally excited.
36.
What kind of engine vibration does not persist, but comes and goes?
Correct Answer
B. Transient
Explanation
Transient engine vibration refers to vibrations that occur intermittently and do not persist continuously. These vibrations come and go, often caused by temporary disturbances or changes in engine conditions. Unlike forced vibrations, which are continuous and caused by a constant external force, transient vibrations are more unpredictable and can vary in intensity and duration. Resonance vibrations, on the other hand, occur when the engine's natural frequency matches an external force frequency, leading to sustained vibrations. Therefore, the correct answer is transient.
37.

This type of transducer is commonly used for measuring vibrations in various applications such as structural analysis, machine monitoring, and automotive testing.
41.
To find the instructions for installing vibration pickups at the test cell, you should check the?
Correct Answer
B. Intermediate maintenance manual
Explanation
The intermediate maintenance manual would be the most appropriate source to find the instructions for installing vibration pickups at the test cell. This manual typically contains detailed procedures and guidelines for maintenance tasks that are more complex than those covered in the organizational maintenance manual. Since installing vibration pickups requires a certain level of technical expertise, the intermediate maintenance manual would likely provide the necessary instructions and specifications for this task. The test cell technical order may also contain relevant information, but the intermediate maintenance manual is more likely to have specific instructions for this particular task. The organizational maintenance manual and methods and procedures maintenance manual may not provide the level of detail needed for this installation.
42.
When you are using a vibration analyzer , you will be notified when a preset signal has been exceeded by?
Correct Answer
D. Flashing channel indicator light emitting diode (LED)
Explanation
When using a vibration analyzer, the device will notify you when a preset signal has been exceeded by flashing a channel indicator light emitting diode (LED). This indicates that the vibration levels have exceeded the predetermined threshold and serves as a visual alert to the user. The LED light is a practical and efficient way to quickly and easily identify when the vibration levels are outside the acceptable range.

44.
What are used to support the fan and low-pressure turbine?
Correct Answer
C. Bearings
Explanation
Bearings are used to support the fan and low-pressure turbine. Bearings are mechanical components that reduce friction between moving parts and support the weight and load of rotating equipment. In this case, the fan and low-pressure turbine require support to ensure smooth rotation and minimize wear and tear. Bearings provide this support by allowing the rotating parts to move freely while reducing friction and preventing excessive heat buildup. Therefore, bearings are essential components in supporting the fan and low-pressure turbine.
45.
What procedure is used to ensure the fan and low-pressure turbine are correctly balanced?
Correct Answer
B. Fan rotor trim balance
Explanation
The procedure used to ensure the fan and low-pressure turbine are correctly balanced is called fan rotor trim balance.

When operating an engine that is installed on a/c, position the a/c so the wind is blowing?
Correct Answer
B. Directly into the inlet, within plus or minus 45 degrees
Explanation
When operating an engine that is installed on an aircraft, it is important to position the aircraft so that the wind is blowing directly into the inlet, within plus or minus 45 degrees. This is because the wind blowing directly into the inlet helps to provide the necessary airflow for the engine's combustion process. Positioning the aircraft in this way ensures that the engine receives the optimal amount of air for efficient operation.

49.
Prior to starting the engine when doing an anti-ice valve ops check on an F-16c/d, place the anti-ice engine switch to?
Correct Answer
D. Manual
Explanation
Before starting the engine, when performing an anti-ice valve operations check on an F-16C/D, the anti-ice engine switch should be placed in the "manual" position. This is because the manual position allows the pilot to manually control the anti-ice valve, ensuring that it is functioning properly before starting the engine. The other options, such as "on," "off," and "start," do not provide the same level of control and would not be appropriate for this specific operation.
50.
