The magnitude of the Coriolis error signal depends on the aircraft speed, aircraft heading,
- A.
Rotation of the Earth, and geographic longitude.
- B.
Rotation of the Earth, and geographic latitude
- C.
Aircraft attitude, and geographic longitude
- D.
Aircraft attitude, and geographic latitude
Correct Answer
B. Rotation of the Earth, and geograpHic latitudeExplanation
The Coriolis error signal is a result of the rotation of the Earth and the geographic latitude. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which causes moving objects (such as an aircraft) to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is dependent on the speed and heading of the aircraft, as well as the latitude at which it is located. Therefore, the magnitude of the Coriolis error signal is influenced by the rotation of the Earth and the geographic latitude.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Index errorExplanation
A misalignment between the magnetic azimuth detector and the aircraft creates an index error. An index error refers to the discrepancy between the indicated heading on the magnetic compass and the actual heading of the aircraft. This misalignment can occur due to various factors such as magnetic field disturbances or improper installation of the compass. The index error can lead to inaccurate navigation and must be corrected to ensure the aircraft is heading in the intended direction.Rate this question:

B. A pair of tubesExplanation
The correct answer is a pair of tubes. Engine inlet pressure and engine exhaust pressure are applied to the dual bellows in the engine pressure ratio (EPR) transducer through a pair of tubes. This means that the pressure from the engine is transmitted through these tubes to the transducer, which measures and converts it into an electrical signal. The tubes act as a conduit for the pressure, allowing it to be accurately measured and monitored by the transducer.Rate this question:

Instead of using a dual bellows sensing element, what type sensing element does the digital engine pressure ratio transducer use?
- A.
Piezocapacitive temperature
- B.
Piezoresistive temperature
- C.
Piezocapacitive pressure
- D.
Piezoresistive pressure
Correct Answer
D. Piezoresistive pressureExplanation
The correct answer is Piezoresistive pressure. The digital engine pressure ratio transducer uses a piezoresistive pressure sensing element instead of a dual bellows sensing element. Piezoresistive pressure sensors measure pressure by detecting changes in electrical resistance caused by the applied pressure. This type of sensing element is commonly used in various applications, including engine pressure measurement, due to its accuracy, reliability, and ability to withstand harsh operating conditions.Rate this question:

What engine pressure ratio indicates exhaust pressure is equal to inlet pressure?
- A.
0.1
- B.
1.0
- C.
2.0
- D.
4.1
Correct Answer
B. 1.0Explanation
The engine pressure ratio indicates the ratio between the exhaust pressure and the inlet pressure of an engine. When the engine pressure ratio is 1.0, it means that the exhaust pressure is equal to the inlet pressure. This indicates a balanced pressure condition within the engine, where the exhaust gases are being efficiently expelled without any excessive back pressure.Rate this question:

What types of sensing elements are used in the oil pressure transmitter?
- A.
Magnets.
- B.
Aneroids
- C.
Dual bellows
- D.
Bourdon tubes.
Correct Answer
D. Bourdon tubes.Explanation
Bourdon tubes are the types of sensing elements used in the oil pressure transmitter. Bourdon tubes are C-shaped tubes that are sensitive to pressure changes. When pressure is applied, the tube straightens out, and this movement is converted into a mechanical motion that can be measured. Bourdon tubes are commonly used in pressure measurement devices due to their accuracy and reliability. Magnets, aneroids, and dual bellows are not typically used as sensing elements in oil pressure transmitters.Rate this question:

The oil pressure transmitter vented Bourdon tube is vented to the
- A.
Atmosphere
- B.
Case
- C.
Fuel
- D.
Oil
Correct Answer
A. AtmospHereExplanation
The oil pressure transmitter vented Bourdon tube is vented to the atmosphere. This means that the Bourdon tube, which measures the oil pressure, is connected to the surrounding air. By venting to the atmosphere, any changes in pressure can be accurately measured and transmitted by the transmitter. This allows for precise monitoring of the oil pressure in the system.Rate this question:
