Why is it important to ensure that equal amounts of both wires are removed when cutting thermocouple wiring?
- A.
To maintain proper temperature indications
- B.
To maintain optical power transmission.
- C.
To maintain shock resistance
- D.
To maintain response time
Correct Answer
A. To maintain proper temperature indicationsExplanation
It is important to ensure that equal amounts of both wires are removed when cutting thermocouple wiring to maintain proper temperature indications. Thermocouples work based on the principle of the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference between two wires generates a voltage. If unequal amounts of wire are removed, the temperature readings will be inaccurate as the voltage generated will not be proportional to the temperature difference. Therefore, equal amounts of wire must be removed to ensure accurate temperature indications.Rate this question:

Aircraft panels are sealed for protection against
- A.
Corrosion.
- B.
Chaffing.
- C.
Friction.
- D.
Theft.
Correct Answer
A. Corrosion.Explanation
Aircraft panels are sealed to provide protection against corrosion. Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when metals are exposed to moisture and oxygen, leading to the gradual deterioration of the metal surface. By sealing the panels, the aircraft's structure is shielded from these corrosive elements, ensuring its longevity and safety. This is especially important for aircraft, as they are exposed to various environmental conditions during flight, including humidity and precipitation. Sealing the panels helps to prevent corrosion and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft.Rate this question:

What does sealant cure time depend on?
- A.
Temperature and relative humidity
- B.
Corrosion and relative humidity.
- C.
Air pressure and temperature
- D.
Temperature and corrosion
Correct Answer
A. Temperature and relative humidityExplanation
The cure time of sealant depends on two factors: temperature and relative humidity. Temperature affects the chemical reaction that occurs during the curing process, as higher temperatures can accelerate the reaction and shorten the cure time. Relative humidity, on the other hand, affects the moisture content in the air, which can also impact the curing process. Higher humidity levels can slow down the curing process, while lower humidity levels can speed it up. Therefore, both temperature and relative humidity play a crucial role in determining the cure time of sealant.Rate this question:

- D.
Use the opposite side of the gasket
Correct Answer
B. Use a new gasket.Explanation
Using a new gasket is a good practice when installing a gasket because it ensures a proper seal and reduces the risk of leaks. Reusing a gasket can lead to uneven compression and loss of elasticity, which can result in leaks and damage to the gasket. Using a new gasket also allows for a clean and smooth surface, promoting better sealing and preventing the entrapment of air. Using the opposite side of the gasket is not recommended as it may not provide a proper seal.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. To avoid leaks.Explanation
Gaskets must be properly seated during installation to avoid leaks. When a gasket is not properly seated, there can be gaps or uneven pressure distribution, which can result in fluid or gas leakage. Proper seating ensures a tight seal between the mating surfaces, preventing any leakage and maintaining the integrity of the system.Rate this question:

Which structural area provides access to perform engine maintenance and servicing?
- A.
Nacelles.
- B.
Windows.
- C.
Cargo door.
- D.
Empennage
Correct Answer
A. Nacelles.Explanation
The nacelles of an aircraft provide access to perform engine maintenance and servicing. The nacelles are the streamlined structures that house the engines on an aircraft. They are designed to be easily accessible for maintenance purposes, allowing technicians to inspect and service the engines as needed. This includes tasks such as checking for any damage or wear, replacing components, and performing routine maintenance procedures to ensure the engines are functioning properly. The other options, windows, cargo door, and empennage, do not provide direct access to the engines for maintenance and servicing.Rate this question:
